Detox Doodles!

This is one of a series of daily sketches that I've been doing to curb my mindless scrolling!

This page is all about Giant Pandas!

#art #panda #sketch #DetoxDoodles #sciart #InkArt
Sketchbook page of pink pen drawings of 6 Giant Pandas. At the top is the text 6/20/25 and Giant Pandas. At the top left is a drawing of a panda sitting and the word "Siiigh" written above. To the right is a panda sleeping with limbs dangling off a log and a heart. Below is a baby panda flopped on its back and the word Flop written next to it. To the right is another sititng panda from the back, with the word Plop! written below. At the bottom left is a panda with its booty in the air and stretching with its limbs forward, and the word Stretch written next to it. At the bottom right is a panda peeking and a heart.

Art is fun but also weird. Like, what do you mean I've been ironing handmade sheets of paper for 2 hours?

Printed (inkjet because my screenprinting chemicals apparently expired) an old public domain illustration from Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla on my homemade paper as a gift. So my paper works!

The fact that I get to manage a zine table (kind of give one, take one) at my work is pretty damn cool.

Rhymes with bell, so I chose Gladys' bell used to cast spells of control in Weapons. What spoopy movies have you been watching lately?

Day 29: Mansion
One of my favorite artists is Fever Ray, and the imagery of the music video for "If I Had a Heart" lingers with me. A haunting display of a mansion, scene to death and horror.

Day 28: Horror
I was very inspired by the horror short "quiet apocalypse" by insolitum. on YouTube. The creatures are so odd and so forlorn. This was one of my favorites from the short.
