Mushroom Garden - A Doodle For ArtExplosion Week 11 Contest
Here goes my entry for @juliakponsford art contest, ART EXPLOSION WEEK 11. The theme for this week is IMAGINARY WORLDS.
I decided to do something different for my entry this week. Instead of doing my usual style I opted to do a doodle art instead. An imaginary world could be anything really. I don't know why but mushroom seems to make a great subject matter. Probably I read so many mushroom posts from @silviabeneforti and that was where I got my inspiration LOL!
I sketched my doodle with a H pencil and once everything is okay I inked it using a fine liner. Once inked, I erased the pencil marks, scanned the doodle and cleaned it digitally with a free software called GIMP. I used to subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud but the monthly fee was too expensive for me so I quit. I am happy with GIMP so far, it's free and a robust software. Once cleaned, I saved the image as JPG and vectorized it using another free software online, vectorization.org. I love this website. I don't have to use the fancy Adobe Illustrator to create a vector. I saved my vector as an EPS file and finally I imported my image to a PDF file using a free desktop publishing software, Scribus. And voila! The doodle is finally digitized and I even made it available as a downloadable coloring page on my Gumroad store.
Medium: digital
Here are the progress photos:

Doodling is fun. When it first became a trend, my friend bought me the book from UK.
Then, i saw a lot of it at bookstore.
But yours is original artwork! Much much better than a doodle book for non artsy like me
Thank you! Yes it is fun. Actually we have a vibrant doodle art scene in Malaysia.
