As promised last week, here is another of the doodle pages I colored in with Sharpies:

I love how this one turned out, and it was a ton of fun to color!
Hope this inspires you to give coloring doodles a try-I am sure enjoying it! 🙂
Ever since I colored in some images for my Halloween Project Life cards last fall, I have been loving the idea of doodling.
I asked for this book for Christmas:

Once I had it however, I was a little intimidated to start it.
I signed up for this free Skillshare class.
I didn’t follow through and finish it.
Sigh.
So, I opted to make it even easier on myself. I would start by coloring other people’s doodles. 🙂
I started with this one from Pinterest.
I used colored pencils. It was taking FOREVER. I didn’t finish.
Not making this easy on myself, am I? 🙂
I did some research. I realized I didn’t like coloring with colored pencils. I wanted a smoother finish, and colored pencils have to really be added in layers to get the effect I was looking for. Hence, the taking too long part.
I started looking at what other people were using. Sharpies! That looked better, but I only had a black one. Then, low and behold the back-to-school supply sales started. Sharpie markers for twenty-five cents. That’s right-TWENTY FIVE CENTS! Cheap enough for me! So, I bought four new colors.
And I got results like this (keep in mind, I started this one with colored pencils):

And now, I am happily coloring doodles.
Well I was, until I did too much and my wrist started to hurt. 🙂
Next week, I will show you one I finished that is colored entirely with Sharpies. After I bought four more colors, of course.
Here are the rest of the perler princesses The Girlio made (I posted the first six last week):
Aren’t they cute? 🙂
