Howdy mates!
Here's my latest doodle artwork that I made to cope up with stress. Yes, I was really demotivated, stressed, problematic, etc for the past days so drawing and doodle were my companions to comfort me lol.
The final output

"Thoughts ain't dead yet"
The process
Firstly, I made a light sketch of the skull, just with a very lighy stroke.
![Screenshot_2018-09-03-22-03-37-10.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeURUWivpsKejs6TTjwZMxA7Esiq2pNStiy1qNLazc6gr/Screenshot_2018-09-03-22-03-37-10.png)
After that I started inking the skull then, using the hatching technique. I used 0.3 techpen by the way.

And then I filled the skull with strokes and hatch until i finished it off.

The skull was done so I proceeded to the best part, doodling. I started off the left side near the skull.

I added more doodle characters, patterns, objects and all.

And more doodle stuff!

After everything, I finalized the doodle, the skull and all.

And then done!!

@ligarayk, you really spot on :) I tried to look for some tutorial on how to draw this. and now i get it.. Thank you very much. But it really need a lot of creativity. May I know, you already have some draft picture on your mind before you started it or you draw base on your instinct? It really amazing. I love your art. Please do share more :)

Congratulation! You have a great imagination! Lots of details which make your artwork very interesting. I like it how there small creatures and ghosts take over the territory and come and go throughout the skull. Great job, keep up the good work! Oh, one last thing, have you thought about adding some colors? Would that be too much? I think it would.

Really lovely inkworks here, and I love the idea behind the picture as well. I like watching the art being made on this post, from the sketch to the final version.
Congratulations on your curie vote :D.

"Yes, I was really demotivated, stressed, problematic, etc for the past days so drawing and doodle were my companions to comfort me lol." - that's what I liked most in your post. This shows your positivity and self motivation towards your life which most of the people lacks these days. Your artwork is really appreciable.
Good luck
Have a great day.

Doodle plus a hint of macabre, yep that fits the type of art I'd dig into. Good work here. Got a scanned version of the image? there's a lot of potential if reworked in digital there.

Ok, I have to be honest, the skull - is creepy but the rest of the doodle art that is passing through the skull's eyes, nose and jaw like smoke is sooooo cute!!! Thank you so much for sharing with us the process and the video is really cool! It captures the essence of your doodling. Hope I can draw like this some day. I would love to doodle.

howdy from Texas sir ligarayk! wow this is some doodle art sir, I wish I could create such are when I'm doodling! lol. I love the detail work, the tiny little figures and everything going on there as well as the excellent skull.
The process was very well laid out, do you teach this style of art in a class somewhere or online?

Sir Janton, I was wondering what kind of art you produce? I bet there is something hiding in there somewhere. You're too peaceable and civilized not to have some artistic outlet.... well besides talking....

Wow! You've got a cool stress buster there! You have a really creative imagination to be coming up with such idea when you are stressed. I for one just want to pause and take a break when I am stressed.
Keep drawing but don't stress yourself too much. 😊

That is pretty cool, it looked like a lot of fun. It's a little dark but I think the rocket sort of cheered it up a bit. It was almost like your mood changed as you did the step by steps. I always enjoy the step by steps, It helps me to visualize the actual creative process that you go through.
Mine is music, depending on the mood I might play a song I love or make one up as I go, it makes me feel great just to make a noise that is beautiful... (to me at least) lol.

Something else I just thought of, putting a few of those together, and sending them to the Mead company they would make great art work for the fronts of folders or some of the young adult style horror books. Just a thought, but I've seen some folders and binders with art work similar but not really as good as yours.
Sorry, just my two cents...
