Transcript

Welcome back to my series Dumbing Down Doodles where I make doodling impossible to mess up. Take a black pen or a pencil and curve it out. Do that seven more times until you end up with a pinwheel kind of shape with nine sections in total. You guys asked for a one product doodle and here it is. All we're gonna use is Fineliner pens. I'm not counting the pencils. We all have that, right? Now trace over your lines, clean them up. Let's draw our first pattern. Use a pencil and divide the section in half. Now use a thin Fineliner pen and draw straight lines down one side. Keep going until the side is filled with your lines. Do the other side, making sure the lines connect going to the top. Keep going until the section is filled. Erase the pencil. Draw this exact same pattern in every third section of the pinwheel. So three in total. For the second pattern, take a thick pen and draw a line down the center of another section, and another line on either side, dividing the section in four. Take a very thin Fineliner pen and draw tiny little lines almost overlapping each other. The lines together being perfect. You won't see each line individually. This in pattern. It looks like dark effect. Now we're far off. Finish off with the last pattern. Draw these lines to form large triangles, round corners. Looking at all three patterns, one pattern is a high contrast, black and white one. One pattern is a light gray one. And the other pattern is a dark gray effect. Now let's outlining the page in black. Now you can stop here or let's level up. Gonna break my rule and add another product shadow. Pencil. Use your pencil and draw along directly on the pattern. Here's product thing. One, tip tissues or even your finger. Just blend out the edge of that pencil. Keeping the shadow very dark. I'm making sure just to blend the edge. Going pencil up. Here's the result. You one product and two product doodle and come back tomorrow for more doodles.
