Taken Aback Robot and Dragon

This taken aback robot is another result of starting with a scribble.

If I had a scanner on my desk at work (where I tend find myself doodling on sticky notes while I think about something), I could in theory scan the scribble before finishing the drawing, but that would require enough effort that it would take my mind off of whatever I was trying to think about.

Hmmm… maybe I could scribble on a bunch of sticky notes at home, scan them, then bring them in to finish. Maybe I could even get my kids to scribble on some.

I’ll throw in an extra doodle today. A dragon’s head–another of my standby subjects.

I really need to draw from reference more–not when doodling, but for more ambitious projects. In addition to improving the realism of my drawings, it would almost certainly increase my doodle subject diversity.
