Hey guys, do you want to do something fun today?
Maybe get some art inspiration.
Maybe you just wanna follow along.
That's okay too.
Today we're gonna do a five doodle ideas to inspire you.
Hopefully you find these satisfying and fun and
yeah, stress relieving.
We might need this right?
Yeah.
All right, the one I'm about to show you is really cool.
It's probably one of my favorite go to's,
but there is another really cool one later.
So I can't decide which one is my favorite in this video.
Anyway, this is what we're gonna do.
♫ [Intense and creepy]
Did you see all the weird things I did with my eyes.
We're gonna draw eyes doing weird emotions!
Okay, literally
we're gonna fill an entire page with eyes
and this is fun because
you can do like a ton of different styles,
if you're feeling experimental.
Like, you could do realistic,
anime,
anything you want to practice
You can let out here.
I'm just loosely doing mine.
Being a bit gestural
because that helps me to improve sometimes.
♫
Again, trying to keep it gestural
so it's not like super tight lines and stuff.
These sorts of sketches or doodles, if you will,
actually really helped me
with capturing human expression.
Like if I'm doing a more serious piece.
Just the muscle memory and stuff really helps
and the fun thing about this doodle idea,
you can use all the reference photos on the internet
that you want, on your camera roll, on your phone,
you know, that you want.
Like this one do this with me, okay?
Put your eyebrows down like you're angry,
but then smile like you're happy and it's really weird.
Just try it okay.
And then go show somebody ask them to do it
and then they're gonna be like:
"That's weird. That is really weird."
So you learn something new every day.
♫
All right, I present to you anger!
♫
How about a closed eye,
how often do draw those?
I went through a phase for a while.
I drew a ton of them. It was so fun.
You can probably find it on my channel.
If you go back about a year and a half ago,
two years ago.
Maybe I'll do like a sleepy-ish eye here.
Mm-hmm.
Let's try it.
So I think eyes intimidate people
when you have to draw the second eye.
So if you want a confidence boost,
that's one reason why I highly recommend
doing this for a doodle,
because you only have to draw one of the eyes
and you can do all sorts of emotions.
It doesn't have to be like the perfect looking eye.
So question of the day,
tell me what facial feature is your favorite one to draw.
Oh, I definitely think eyes are mine this month,
but ask me that question next month,
it'll probably go back to like noses or something like that,
you know.
♫
All right, here's a page of some fun little eyes.
So this one is really fun,
but take a little trinket in your house
and turn it into a full-blown page design.
So you saw me hold up my art fam enamel pin
which, just self promo here,
you can get that at mirabyler.com
because I am selling them in my shop.
Anyway, I decided, you know what,
I kind of want to bring this to life and
sort of show the art family all around the message,
so I did that and I outlined art family
and then I drew a couple art supplies here and there
and then like hands which just represent all of you
because we're this fun art community
and we do these videos together
we doodle we share ideas
and this one was just really special to me
because it made me think of you guys and
yeah, you guys are just such an inspiration to me. So.
That's what I got from drawing a little trinket in my house
I don't know what you have it laying around
but if you have like an enamel pin,
or maybe a refrigerator magnet.
You know, like those souvenir magnets
you get from vacations.
If you have one of those,
try to make an art piece inspired off of it.
I think this is such a fun idea
and I think a lot of the times,
when you do stuff like this, I guess,
there's a lot of opportunity to incorporate like nostalgia
or some sort of community aspect
so I figured this one was worth mentioning
and now this one was super fun for me to draw because
believe it or not this is not the only
art family drawing I did [Laughs]
So when I designed about an animal pin,
I actually did so many art family sketches and
preparations to get the pin manufactured, you know
But now it's kind of fun since the pin is done
to do artwork based off of it. It came full-circle. [Giggles]
My goodness guys, okay.
This one is probably the easiest one in this entire video
if you don't feel like...
Doing a full-blown project
or maybe you feel like you're a beginner
or maybe you just want stress relief.
This one is for you.
Let me tell you what,
literally this is all I did.
I wanted to bust out the happy colors,
feel the happy moods, you know.
So I took a spray bottle and I sprayed a piece of paper
and then I laid down all the beautiful,
colorful watercolor paints that I wanted
and now the trick of this since the paper is already wet.
Your colors are gonna bleed together flawlessly,
and you don't have to do a lot of work
and then when you're done
if you want it to bleed together a little a bit more
you just spray it again.
It's pretty easy.
so now once these colors dried
we're gonna go back to like,
childhood times, you know when scribbling was cool
because guess what, when you're an adult it is still cool
you can still scribble and it's gonna look the bomb.com
Okay.
So just do a bunch of swirly squiggly scribbley lines
all over your page and keep repeating it.
See, it looks pretty cool already, right?
That contrast.
It is just exuding happiness.
Let me tell you what.
This, I love doing this to relieve stress.
I'm like all fired up about it,
because it's so so fun!
So I like to fill the page until
the scribbles get really like thick
and a little trick to this is do little like loops here and there
like loopy squiggles.
Anyway, yeah,
when you peel the paint off
and you have that white frame,
it just all comes together and it looks so fun.
You can hang this up in your house
for a cool abstract piece
and let me tell you what, it'll look sweet.
Anyway, this is what it looks like
and I highly recommend, it is so fun guys.
So if you're somebody who likes to feel proud of yourself
Proud of the artwork that you do,
but maybe you don't want to put a lot of effort into it
but you still want to hang it on your wall.
So this doodle is perfect for you.
What we're gonna do is just get some watercolor,
some gouache, whatever paint you have laying around
you don't need to use exactly what I'm using
and you're going to line a piece of paper with some tape.
I am just using watercolor paper.
It's this little like block.
And I'm gonna just go around the edges,
line the edges and fun fact,
I designed this washi tape you see here
and you can get it in my shop at mirabyler.com
So there's some little self promo.
So yeah line the edges.
Okay, so now orient it however you want.
I think I'm gonna do it this way because it sounds fun.
You know, it's actually just kidding,
I think I want to do it this way.
Here is my obnoxious gouache palette.
I'm just misting it to activate everything.
got a few water colors, too.
Got some Prima watercolor
and some Arteza watercolor
and sometimes, surrounding myself with a little rainbow,
really it sets the mood.
So I encourage you to do that with me.
Okay, lot's of paint all around me,
for some people this is overwhelming.
So if this overwhelms you, you don't have to do that part
So what we're gonna do is
collage different like plant shapes.
Now, you know, I'm a plant person
and if you're not you can collage something else,
but this is really easy
and makes fun at home decor.
Just gonna...
♫
Do a light squiggly line like that.
♫
Press hard.
Lift up
Press hard, lift up.
So I'm just going to scatter these all over the page
in different ways.
♫
And now these are pretty easy because
let me tell you what,
all you do is you just press lightly with your brush
like this
and then you go down and then it gets thicker
then you get like leaf effects, it's really sweet!
♫
I find doing collage like watercolor pieces
to be super therapeutic because
you don't have to really put a lot of thought into it.
You just like scatter the same things all over the place
and for anybody who struggles with anxiety, like me
you might find this helpful.
So just gonna lay that out there.
This is like one of my go-to things when I am stressed
and I have repeated the same thing in other videos
with like different projects, so
you've probably seen me talk about it already [Laughs]
♫
So, so far we have done no shading
this is seriously guys super easy if you are a beginner
like, literally, you can do this.
♫
Now I'm going to show you guys something cool.
If you don't like how part of your doodle collage came out
just paint over it and fix it, like me,
I'm just gonna darken all these big leaves.
♫
Alright next you'll want to use a smaller paintbrush.
We're gonna take a darker color
like this bluish color
and we're gonna revisit all the first parts that we painted,
okay?
Now, don't let shading intimidate you,
this is a doodle, so you don't have to be perfect.
We're gonna do a little more cartoony. Okay.
Just take this and then do a line.
♫
Up the leaves and you can stop at whatever point
or go all the way to the end, it is up to you.
♫
Alright guys, this is where things get really really fun.
So we are going to use gouache.
Now if you don't have this you can use like acrylic paint
or even colored pencil.
It's not a big deal
and we're going to do some light colored veins like this
♫
All right, so now is the part where we're gonna decide
are these gonna be blobby lemons
or are they gonna be leaves. [Laughs]
You can use your own interpretation for this
which is quite nice, if you ask me,
I think we're gonna make them into blobby lemons
Okay, so most of this piece is done now,
but we want to add some pops of color.
So I'm gonna show you how to do that the easy way.
Let's use a fun that pink color and
Do some little flower shapes here and there.
I'm gonna do some unique ones like this.
♫
It's kind of like a heart
but with like three little bumps at the top,
do a couple of those.
♫
Okay, that's literally it.
It does take some time to do this one,
but look how satisfying that is.
But the thing is, is there really isn't a lot to this
except for repetition,
so if you don't mind doing something very repetitious.
Is that word repetitious?
Then this is for you right here.
All right. This one is super fun and super easy.
All you need is like a pen or a marker
and there's one rule.
Don'y lift it off your paper.
So right now I'm drawing a pug
and you can see it's actually pretty challenging
but it's fun because it brings out this like wonky style.
Now when I cannot lift the pen or the marker
from the page,
psychologically, I start holding my utensil tighter
and then like the proportions get all like weird
and everything, but it turns out cute.
It turns out fun
and it brings out a playful style in my opinion.
Plus, it's a really fun mind game
because you know, you cannot lift the pen so
Let's try this again
but this time we're gonna do a cat
and you're gonna see a bit of a fail.
Like we're off to a good start sure, but you'll see.
I should warn you,
don't have like super huge aspirations for this
if you're new to it
because if you're like me
and you start gripping that pen tighter and tighter,
your hand is gonna get so tired,
but it's so fun to do
and if anything it'll just brighten your day
by giving you a good a laugh.
Like I think mine turned out more like a tiger than a cat
but it was fun and that's what matters.
So I hope you enjoy this one.
Alright guys. I hope you enjoyed these five doodle ideas.
Let me know which one was your favorite.
This one is definitely one of my favorites
if I'm looking for some stress relief.
So if you don't want to think a lot,
but maybe you just like want to express yourself,
do some scribbles on a rainbow of watercolor.
It's fun. It's really fun.
And this one was also a favorite of mine
because I love painting plants.
You guys know this by now because
that's pretty much what I do with my channel. [Laughs]
Now if you guys have seen my other like drawing
and sketchbook idea videos,
you have probably seen these two ideas get repeated
a couple times maybe with different variations, but
it's because they're my go-tos. I do them a lot.
I'm gonna link some of my other arts idea videos
below this so you can keep your adventure rolling
if you want or you can click some playlists
that appear on the screen.
Anyway, have a good day. Bye.
