I'm going to post these silly doodles as a thread, so here's the first one: metadrawing, a sketchbook with drawings (a suggestion from IG). Strong start. ๐Ÿ˜‚

And speaking of difficult subjects... Cars are totally alien construction to me whenever I'm forced to draw them. Toyota Yaris Verso has so spesific features too.

More doodles: a penguin (waiting in line at Culver's). So, two followers suggested a penguin, but other gave additional details. I kept this really simple because I made the idea too complicated in my head and almost got stuck. Till this day I didn't even know what Culver's is ๐Ÿ˜‚

Doodle number 3: Saimaa ringed seal. I loved doodling this because I've never drawn a seal before! The ink I chose was a bit too dark, but I just had to color this a bit.

Yo! I want to doodle something else than dragons for a bit, and that's why I need random drawing ideas! Comment your suggestions below (but keep it sfw, thanks).

I've got plenty of suggestions in here and IG, and I'll try to complete as many as I can. Just don't hold your breath while waiting or get disappointed if I didn't doodle your idea, because there's plenty of other stuff I should do as well. I ask for ideas only beccause I want to challenge myself.

Aagh, of course I didn't take my camera with me to the north this time! It was a mistake to trust the forecast, my shitty phone doesn't do justice to these auroras.

Man, the green an purple flames are dancing all across the sky tonight. I guess there goes my luck for the rest of the winter, but I'm happy I get to see this.

Early 2010s dog oc aesthetics seems to be all the rage at the moment, so here's a quick doodle featuring an ancient character of mine that I created probably somewhere around 2007 (original character, do not steal).

I haven't drawn anything, not even a single sketch in days, so I thought I'll post some old art again. Here's a painting from 2020 I still like a lot, because those details are so good. It's a shame I don't have the same energy I used to have years ago. #dragon #art

I like vampires as mythical creatures a lot, but I could never be one, because my love for organic garlic is far greater. Now I have a slightly better chance to survice through the dark and cold winter. ๐Ÿง„

I'm still a bit burned out after Smaugust, but at least I got some motivation to start doodling in Tomodachi Life again. I'm corrupting all the kids on my island.

Smaugust 2026, day 31: Smaug or other pop-culture dragon. It's the last day of the month! I'm pretty exhausted now, but here's one more drawing for you: a dragon from Studio Ghibli's Tales From Earthsea. Thanks for everyone who followed my journey! #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Here's some context for my dragon of the day. As you can see, I really like Ursula K. Le Guin's Tales from Earthsea series. My mother recommended me the books probably somewhere around mid 2000s, and when the movie came out a bit later, I was super inspired by its dragon design.

Here's a drawing from 2009. Even though Goro Miyazaki's movie was a bit weird for me because I had already read all the books, I drew these dragons a lot back in the days. Some of my early OC designs share some similarities with them too.

Smaugust 2026, day 30: falling. The month is almost over and I didn't skip a day, yay. I wanted to try something a bit different this time though, so I made this small doodle. I kinda like it, it's not my usual style. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 29: gathering. I got this idea of a dragon picking up stuff with its tongue and stashing it in a neck pouch some time ago. The design itself is pretty simple, but my creative energy is running pretty low already. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

It's been almost three months since I started playing Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, and so far I've successfully wasted over 200 hours on it (my island just hit the rank 500). Though, I'm pretty sure this game has helped me to get through this nightmare of a summer at least somewhat sane.

I finally got this game, it took forever to arrive. Let's see how much time I can waste now.

Smaugust 2026, day 28: staring. The easiest, quickest and laziest doodle featuring my OC today because I didn't really feel like drawing right after work but didn't want to skip a day this close to the end of the challenge. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 27: exploding. Just a small and simple doodle today because I'm busy (I might have to skip tomorrow, sad). This dragon is small, but difficult to attack from above because its back is covered with acid-filled blisters. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 26: jingling. The mandatory eastern dragon today. I got inspired by the bell dragon I doodled last year, but made a full body drawing this time. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 25: chomping. What's more terrifying than a hippo? A flying hippo-dragon of course. I wanted to draw a dragon that has almost comical proportions, and I think this chonky creature fits into that category quite well. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 24: spouting. These doodles are getting smaller and lazier with each passing day, but at least I might be able to finish the whole list this time. Maybe whale dragons spout scalding hot water and create thick mist clouds when they hunt? #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 23: striking. Instead of striking with its claws, this dragon uses a lance-like tail to pierce the prey. A simple doodle again, but it's what helps me to stay in schedule. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

I don't usually eat sushi, but today I tried one that was probably the weirdest to ever exist: a nigiri topped with Finnish squeaky cheese and cloudberry jam. Honestly it was 1/5, but when it comes to trying weird foods, I'm sometimes a daredevil.

Smaugust 2026, day 22: smelling. It's a skunk dragon. Real world animals are a great source of inspiration sometimes. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 21: dancing. I was inspired by birds' courtship displays, but afterwards I started to think about the war dance of weasels. Maybe the glowing patterns can be used to hypnotize the prey when the dragon shakes its wings? #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 20: spitting. Posting a bit early today. I thought people aren't drawing amphitheres very often, so here's one cobra-inspired doodle for you. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 19: conjuring. Hey, who taught the kobold how to cast spells (or gave them a permit to join Brimmed Caps)? I'm still busy with other things, so the mandatory kobold was easy enough to doodle in a hurry. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #kobold

Smaugust 2026, day 18: hunting. Just a small and simple doodle today because I'm busy. I tried to draw a diving hunter, like an osprey, but this angle is super hard. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 17: freezing. I realized I already doodled one big and scary ice dragon some days ago, so here's a small fairy-like ice dragon instead. Maybe they gang up with the bigger fella to freeze everything around them? #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 16: overheating. I tend to draw big dragons that are either elegant or menacing, but sometimes I feel like I have to give a chance for smaller, rougher beasts. I could have paid more attention to shading, but I got tired. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

Smaugust 2026, day 15: own choice. Wow, we're halfway there already. I took it easy again and doodled the feathered dragon you may have seen quite many times already, but I tried to draw it from a different angle this time, to practice a little more. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #dragon

The weather has been a little sad here in Finland this summer. Some days have been so cool and rainy that I actually got a bit hyped when the forecast said it might be +19 ยฐC today. Though, I don't mean to complain, because it's always easier to deal with cooler temperatures than heatwaves.
