Doodle Contest Week #3: Food and Drinks by @happycrazycon

Okay, so I always come across @coloringiship 's post on her weekly doodle contests which always has very awesome creative entries. I had no confidence in her previous two topics but when I saw this week's topic: Food and Drinks and this paragraph from her post:

Before I end this post, let me stress this: this contest is not just for artists. Anyone can participate. No one should feel that they can't join this contest because they feel they are not artsy enough or no drawing skill. The winner is not pick based solely on his/her drawing capability/talent/skill.

I decided that I will give it a try. @iamjadeline said that doodling is therapeutic, which indeed it is, because the satisfaction after is just so incredible.

_{The doodle entry for the #steemitdoodlecontest.}

Without further ado, let's get started!

My main inspiration is of course from my husband's burger outlet and my love for food. I sketched out a Burger character who is struggling with the dilemma of keeping fit and exercising but still having so much love for different food and drinks. (Oh in case you didn't know, that's me! Wanting to watch my weight but still chomping around! Guilty-charged :P)

I was checking through my pencil case and realize I only have one usable marker which is quite thick. Thank goodness for my crafty student whom I tutor. She was kind to lend me two pens of 0.4 and 0.6 thickness. Sometimes, they are really supportive when I say I am joining contests on Steemit. I was actually going to just settle with this. I went home quite happily and impressed with myself. I actually hid it from my son, because he very likes to colour, scribble and draw nowadays, so I know he would surely ask for this if he sees. Still, I couldn't help but to take it out to have another look, hehehehe. That's when I decided that I wasn't done with it and I wanted to colour the Burger character's eyes.

Thus, my final product looks like this:

While I was happily doing my finishing touch, here comes @littledrummerboy and he saw it, so he kept telling me, "Gimme burger, Mummy." He was saying he wanted to draw and doodle too, hence I quickly drew out a smaller version of what I did for him, because I was scared that my masterpiece would be gone if he starts to "decorate" it with his artistic sense. Hahaha. So, he did some colouring on the version I drew for him and wanted to use the marker. Finally, he was instructing me to colour for him according to the colours he wants. Next, along came the husband who saw us doodling. I was drawing this piece of fries, burger and drink for the boy, who is a huge lover of fries. So, the husband also joined in the doodle fun, by adding moustache to the fries, and Steemit logo on the drink, as well as the flag on the burger. Later, he started doodling away by the boy's request. We ended up with a family doodle fun night!

My Little Reflections

Not sure if this is a dilemma faced by all of you, but it is surely mine between being fit and eating (not too healthily) especially because of being a sweet tooth. I deliberately have to exercise a lot of self-control. Anyway, I can foresee some of you coming to nag me about eating healthily :P Can we focus on the doodle, pretty please?

On some days, I really don't know what to write. Perhaps, I can draw, instead. Drawing helped me to focus on something I usually don't do. It made me put my whole self in until I am done with it. The satisfaction after really uplifts me as it showed me that I can do it, with the simple drawings that I know. Thank you @coloringiship for this contest, my family had fun!
