Just for the Heck of it...

Wallpaper Doodle...With my laptop and ipad taken by kids to work on school things, I was left with hand drawing at the Drill team regional competition. This is what I doodled in between my daughters performances. Inspired by Shrine of the Silver Monkey from the game show Legends of the hidden temple....It's rough....but still fun. My 6 yr old is going to write a story about it after school...

So Messing around with new coloring on the Newly released Dragons...
The first is Digital Paper piecing,  Replaced coloring in Photoshop with colored paper as the fill...Also replaced the Black outline, Might use this for some backgrounds...
 
 
Second is Brushes on my Ipad. Got rid of the black outline and filled with colors that it was surrounding... Won't be print quality coming from my ipad. But I could do the same in Photoshop....

Challenge - Birthday

Do we HAVE to grow up?  Can we not just sit around and play all day?  I know I don't want to grow up!  Well here is our challenge this week celebrating "growing up"....yup, you got it...Dustin Pike has a birthday.  He is now 12.  Make a card with a birthday theme using one of the Doodledragon Images.  Just attach it using Mr. Inlinkz and you too could win a goodie.  Be sure and check back to see if your a winner.  We pick a "Pikes Pick" winner as well as a random winner every challenge.  If you do not yet own a Doodle Dragon image just wait till Friday's and get your Free one...free is great, right?  But most single images in the store are only a buck or two...thats the cost of a kitchen sponge and we don't need sponges if we don't grow up.

Here is what the Doodle Crew has made for this special occasion.  We hope you will all play along!!  Challenge ends at midnight on the 22nd and winners will be announced within the following days...so keep an eye out!
