A Daily Doodle

The Wall Memorial

2011-05-11T12:24:00.002-06:00

First off- Thanks to all of you who have followed this blog, and commented or participated in the Give-Away's. You made it more fulfilling and helped my fulfill my goal of a year of daily doodles!

I would like to let you all know that I have created a "Memorial" of what I accomplished here in this blog. It is a fun simple little website with a gallery that randomly generates itself from all of the doodles from this blog since I first started it. You can find that site at ADailyDoodle.com

Thanks!

ADailyDoodle was a fun project that I learned a lot from the year+ that I did it. I would like to thank all of its followers, and fans for their support and appreciation for what I was doing. I will leave this blog as a small web memorial to my endeavor. Feel free to look back through the posts. Who knows, maybe someday I will re-visit this project and attempt another year, but as for now I have learned what I wanted and more from this project and am now focusing on other things. Thanks again! and may all your days be great! (even without a doodle to illustrate them!)

The real reason girls wear big rings is for self defense. They are lying if they tell you otherwise...

Hamlet?

2011-02-07T08:00:00.000-07:00

Something random I found in an old college notebook~

Notebook Face

2011-02-06T08:00:00.000-07:00

Something old

Latin

2011-02-05T08:00:00.001-07:00

I must have been sitting in Latin class when I drew this?

Skinny Jeans

2011-02-04T08:00:00.001-07:00

Nothin cooler than a punk rocker in skinny jeans... right?

Monster Squib 2

2011-01-25T22:00:00.001-07:00

Just another lil monster doodle

Old man on the Tramp

2011-01-24T23:00:00.002-07:00

This old man waited 40 years to get his chance to freely enjoy the trampoline in his backyard...

Mr. Nose

2011-01-23T08:00:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday with a bunch of co-workers to a sushi restaurant. I started doing some doodles on the paper-top table-cloth after we were done eating and one of my doodles sparked this character from a friend and coworker on the other side of the table. Scott thought one of my doodles looked like a nose standing on its nose hair- and he drew the character he saw (which is that sketch in the corner ) - I thought it was a rad character and snapped a picture with my cell phone to play around with later- and thus Mr. Nose was born. :)

Top Hat Lizard

2011-01-19T06:00:00.000-07:00

Another random Photoshop doodle- basically I just really like the fluidity of the pressure brush! It is a lot of fun to draw with! Have a great Wednesday

Angry Squib Captains Head

2011-01-18T06:00:00.001-07:00

I drew this up in Photoshop- at first it was just black but I decided the last few posts didnt have enough color so I added some to this. I did not really want to color it in, so I just colored the lines. A pretty rad Pirate head doodle is the result- have a good Tuesday!

Weird Creature Profile

2011-01-17T23:00:00.001-07:00

I sat down to do a doodle and just started scribbling. This is what I ended up with... pretty ugly. I love to draw profiles and make up strange creatures. This one def. is not among the cutest I have ever drawn. He looks like a mix of a man, a frog, and a Pachycephalosaurus... (The head butting dinosaurs... I had to google it) I was not going to post it because he is so ugly but it is late and I have nothing else- so have a great Monday

Monster Squib Doodle

2011-01-16T21:00:00.002-07:00

This is a little monster squib doodle I drew up on paper with a ballpoint pen- maybe one day ill digitize these pen-paper doodles- have a good one!

Go Ninja II!

2011-01-15T08:00:00.000-07:00

Pretty similar to yesterdays ninja- I thought they were both rad though so I decided to put em both on. I was dinking around in Photoshop with it a little too but just for a couple minutes with my mouse- Have a good Saturday!

Go Ninja!

2011-01-14T08:00:00.001-07:00

Yikes! Is it January 14th already?!? Not long ago I talk about wanting to get with the program and start doing daily posts again and then I trip and fall on my stinking face! :) I had a stroke of bad-luck during the Holiday... I got Bronchitis and was a sick duck for practically the whole break. All of my plans of creating awesome arts and working on games was foiled and instead I just played games, coughed, and slept. I did not even get to finish my Christmas doodle! New Years Eve I was in bed for the night at 9:30... how lame am I? I obviously cant blame not doodling until now all on being sick though... I have something to admit to you all. I have an addiction. Being sick made it worse... no doubt- it also helped me realize how destructive this addiction can be! My addiction is Video Games! My name is Marcus Hadlock and I am a video-game-a-holic! There, I said it! my wife would say "I TOLD YOU SO!" and feel triumphant! I have finally realized after feeling like a lump on the bottom of a swamp looking at how UN-CREATIVE I have been the past couple of weeks... I let a lot of opportunities fade away... and probably lost some trust and confidence in some people who expected me to perform and I didn't. I realize this now and I am going to be better! Awesome even! I am not going to stop playing video games though... why would I? I am just going to limit myself! Be responsible and stuff...

Ok enough ranting... This post is a ninja I drew up on paper during a meeting. I doodle on paper all of the time- I bet I could easily post for missed days with just the doodles on one note-pad on my desk. Instead of trying to do that though, I will just make sure to stay motivated and be better moving forward. I hope all of those who once watched me and checked my blog from time to time haven't un-bookmarked and forgotten about me! I hope to win all of your trust back! The time of ADailyDoodle is here once again! The king has returned! (I recently re-watched "The Lion King" With my daughter...) Have a great Friday!

Merry Christmas- day2

2010-12-21T22:00:00.000-07:00

A little more done to this design / doodle. I have been sick this past week and not feeling like doodling - but I am starting to feel a bit better and hopefully finish this by Christmas!

Merry Christmas- day1

2010-12-16T16:52:00.003-07:00

I know it doesn't look like much.... yet.... but- I promise it will! It is going to be amazing! :) This is just the very rough Alchemy doodle that will turn into what I hope to be a rad Christmas design :) Have a good Thursday!

Chi-Fu the Running Backpacker

2010-12-15T06:00:00.000-07:00

This started out as a bunch of random scribbles all over... I then started to doodle and connect the lines and this is what I ended up with. I wish I saved all of the scribble lines so you could all see what a chaotic mess it was that inspired this odd doodle :) I wasn't thinking! I used to do a lot of these creative practices in sketch books, make a scribble and then draw a face or something out of it. Have a good Wednesday

TOM

2010-12-14T06:00:00.000-07:00

This is Tom- I dont know Tom but he requested I draw him as I have drawn other people in the past. He requested this a while ago actually... back in September... and I just got to it now! Sorry Tom! I hope you like it-

Little Bug

2010-12-09T14:42:00.002-07:00

I drew this bug for Todays doodle... I drew it with the mouse and in about 2 minutes just to get something up for today :) Not very cute but he makes good lasagna!

Small Robot

2010-12-08T06:00:00.000-07:00

A sloppy little speed-paint robot character- nothing special. About 15 minutes in Photoshop. Have a good Wednesday

Dreamy Doodle

2010-12-07T09:00:00.001-07:00

Did you know there was a Breed of dog called a "Doodle"? Well there is, and it is a pretty adorable breed at that. My friend Barbara from DreamyDoodles.com requested I draw one of her doodles up. Here is the outcome- I hope you like it Barbara! Have a good Tuesday!

Wide Eyed Soldier

2010-12-03T06:00:00.000-07:00

Not sure why I drew this- but I had to break out the old mouse-drawing skills for this one. I didnt feel like getting out the tablet :) Have a great Friday

Mr. Whack

2010-12-02T06:00:00.003-07:00

This is Mr. Whack. I think he is into Meth... or maybe he is addicted to tootsie pops. Whatever it is, it is totally the cause of all his wackiness. Have a good Thursday

Monster Twins

2010-12-01T22:00:00.001-07:00

Twins, yes. Identical, no. At least they both have the cute eye-spot.

I miss doing adailydoodle daily, and am going to attempt to start it back up again. I went over a year without missing a doodle and felt drained and stressed... probably because work has been nuts lately. Truth be told I have not been as creative and doing daily doodles really is gratifying.

indifferent for Monday

2010-11-29T06:00:00.001-07:00

Monday.... hooray ;)

Pixel Pirate

2010-11-14T06:00:00.001-07:00

Another little pixel art piece. I did this for a contest at www.pixeljoint.com. Theme of the contest: "X-ray" Have a good Saturday

Pixel Monster

2010-11-12T15:22:00.002-07:00

This little guy may not look like much.... but he took longer than a lot of my other doodles have! Something I have been intrigued with lately is Pixel art. I drew this little guy all zoomed in pixel by pixel until he looked like a monster. It takes a lot of patience as you can probably imagine! Makes you respect the old 8-bit artists from the NES days a whole lot more. Have a great Friday!

Egg-Splat

2010-11-02T11:00:00.001-06:00

This is w hat happens when a Giant, Laser shooting penguin drops an egg on you from a cloud flying 2 stories above you. Final touches on the art for a game. Have a good Tuesday!

Dope

2010-10-28T06:00:00.001-06:00

Who is the Dope? Looks like I am! It is no secret that I have missed a few days this Month. I had a good run though- Over a year without missing a day. I have to admit part of me wanted to wash my hands and consider it a job well done, while another overzealous part of me wanted to do it forever and ever and ever and ever... and I tried to do just that. Turns out I let myself get behind. Although I have built this blog up as being ADailyDoodle and providing Daily Doodles for a good run of 365+ days- It will now be a some-days daily doodle :) My goal was accomplished to keep me more creative, and now I have more projects than I can handle (almost!) a lot of which have come from my dedication to this blog. I am working on several games and am really enjoying it! Thanks to everybody for your support and I hope you still check back as I will at the very very very least post weekly. Have a great Thursday!

There was a time where I would make sure all doodles were ready for the day they were to be posted. I am on vacation now for the week and have let that slide a little, but I have done my doodles daily- as the original goal was to keep me productive everyday. This one is being back-posted as I did not actually get it posted the day it was doodled for but here it is now :) Have a good one!

2010-09-25T23:00:00.002-06:00

Run for your life!

2010-09-24T22:00:00.000-06:00

This is for another game- I have been tied up doing game art for a Flash game and neglecting this blog a little bit. I am cheating using the game art for my doodles as well- but the good thing is soon I should have some fun Flash games to put on here as well with my characters! Have a good one!

Bean Alien

2010-09-13T06:00:00.001-06:00

I drew a character similar to this a year or so ago for this blog and re-drew him for Todays doodle. He is kind of a fun little character- Have a great Monday!

Scary Mask

2010-09-12T06:00:00.000-06:00

This one turned out a little scary looking- I hadent used Alchemy in a long time so I was playing with it and came up with the top sketch using some random shapes and lines. I saw a cool Mad-Max / Sci-Fi mask in there I wanted to play with. The doodle is that same sketch pulled into Photoshop and painting over it for a bit. Its starting to take form a bit. Maybe ill keep going with it but it does look kind of scary- Def not a "Good Guy" mask! Have a good Sunday.

Stranded

2010-09-11T06:00:00.000-06:00

This brave little pirate once thought he was lucky to survive his ship going down and his finding a tiny island... that is until the jumping and shreiking eels showed up! Yes that is a Princess Bride reference :) Have a great Saturday!

You can also vote on it here- but you may need to make an account if you dont already have one on Newgrounds... and just a warning - newgrounds can have some questionable content. LINK

Have a great Wednesday, and Happy Birthday Josie!

Fun with da Bears

2010-09-03T06:00:00.001-06:00

Time for another game- I have not done one for a while... How many differences can you find between the two images? I think there are 20 of them... Have a great Friday!

Snakes and Reptiles

2010-09-02T06:00:00.001-06:00

My daughter is turning 3 in a couple of days. We wanted to throw her a fun Birthday party and asked what she wanted. She said snakes. We then came up with a few other ides, Princess theme, Renting a bouncy castle, hiring a face-painter.... but she continued on with her snakes. We then found a local company that does reptile parties... and that is what we are doing for my little girls 3rd birthday.

Where is the glamor in this? I don't see any... :)

Who knows what this dude is plotting, but I bet it has some unstable chemical compounds and monkeys involved...

2010-08-21T06:00:00.000-06:00

Not the most pleasant guy to stand next to...

Year-long tanners who still look good in the winter
