Description
Another doodle from an old A6 sketchbook, probably from my last ever foreign Citibreak in Florence in 1990.
Not an actual place: I was so tired by the evening that I stayed in while the others went out for a meal, and I entertained myself by doodling.
Scanned in, printed out bigger and worked into with a fineliner, and then scanned again.

Excellent work. I think I've mentioned this before but your 'doodles' have a wonderful quality to them that begs to be animated. With the water rippling in the pool, I can see some of your large footed characters standing at the entrance with cameras and sketch pads nattering to each other before moving on to their tour of the Uffizi.

A doodle is a six-legged spider in a bow tie with a top hat and a silly grin. When I see something like this I never think "doodle." This might not be what you would consider to be a finished piece or whatever, but it's far more than a doodle, in my mind at least. It's marvelous! A bit reality, a bit fantasy, and enough detail to keep me busy looking for a good long time!

This is a mighty great drawing. I love the 3D look you gave it. And actually, I like this version best. Nothing to disturb the details and depth and shades.

Megadoodle!! That's one seriously well constructed place! No wonder you enjoy doodling, your mind takes you to so many unusual places!

A sweet look into the entrance 'garden' of this villa. I like the depth in both versions and especially in color!

Awesome work!

Interesting details. I like to think of such drawings as a thought process. The coloured version opens it up nicely and adds depth.

I'm jumping back a ways, because I'm over an hour and wanted to do at least one image from a month ago, before I leave for now. I like the color and original equally, though the original lets us see your line work all by itself, which is a treat. Yes, with Peter (e-brink), these are like thought process: Many masters did sketches to be just that---thinking through the sights around them. But they're also works in their own right, something that big paintings tend to overshadow and even eradicate in the minds of the viewer... Not an easy subject, because of the front wall and the villa behind: Yet we feel the two sections here, clearly. And you used strong shading around edges (where appropriate) making it dramatic; and the squiggles in the front wall/gate are delightful, as are the freehand arches in back and the stones in general. A real freehand interpretation of architecture and its space, fun and intense; and while I like the color, I agree with Helle that the b-and-w allows us to feel the drawing by itself. Your architectural drawings have the same dance-and-play that you put into your figure drawing; and you seem to be having a lot of fun playing with these forms, and capturing them in the limited time one has for a sketch. Playful and dancing, I love when you post your drawings.
