hi @reneebrose7116 it certainly was. I do something like that most days to unwind and get into a quiet space

Hi Oliver. I have a question. How do you know where to start on each space. I get confused.

Hi @reneebrose7116 - great question, This is something that I used to struggle with a lot till I become more accepting of what I created - good and bad. That allowed me to experiment and accept that everything was good and not a waste of time. Then, as I progressed, I began to get a feel for how different segments would slot together. I think I will try a video when I do a small piece, photocopy it and then 'do it' starting at different points to see if that helps. In the end of the day, I've usually found that it doesn't really matter - each one gives a different creation. I'll try and do one this week for you. Thanks for the question, Oliver

@@PenDoodling thank you Oliver. You’re right, every drawing is a new creation. I like that. 😀

Hi @reneebrose7116 Nice hearing from you and thank you for those kind words. I am putting up another video Saturdayw (I think) where I do random lines and then 'zentangle' it! I found it very relaxing and much more forgiving for me - a geriatric. Most people who view the videos are USA based - you have probably worked out I am from and living in Ireland, way down South beside the Atlantic where my wife and I try to get in a swim most days - hail, rain or snow :))

@@PenDoodling I'll look forward to it. Can I ask you what pens do you like using?

Hi, I'm using a combination of UniPin and Staedtler and don't really find much of a difference between the 2 brands except that UniPin are cheaper :)

@ thank you. I use Sakura Micron pens and especially like the PN. I’ll have to give it a go with the Unipin. Is there a particular size tip you like to use?

@@reneebrose7116 If I'm using a small format card 6x4 then I tend to use 1mm and 3mm with maybe a 0.05 for some shading. Anything above that I generally 0.8, 0.3 - but to be perfectly honest, I am on the lazy side and I tend to use the pens that are 'to hand', I don't tend to be too fussy in this regard. Looking at the pot of pens I can see now that there are loads that have been languishing there for quite some time. Maybe it's time to mix things up a little and take 'pot luck' next time when chosing the pen 🙃

Hi @bubbacas23, very kind words indeed but mentioning me in the same breath as Gheorghe Virtosu - some might call heresy - he is someone that I admire greatly and his mastery of the art form is truly original. As for me, I just use color at times to lift the spirit and the freeform to release stiffness in the brain. I love primary colors but am still very much experimenting to find my won safe space. Once again - thank you sincerely for watching the video and am glad that it brought you something special Oliver

Hi @letitiarosenthal2286 Very true words. I like to experiment with different techniques and media. I enjoy being free and learn to accept the result - whatever happens. Previously I did very fine pencil art and have been trying for years to just 'let go' - I think doodling is very freeing. Thanks for taking the time out to leave a comment Oliver

Hi Marie, Great to hear from you. Are you doing any art yourself - especially with these cold rainy days! Am working on a pen and ink drawing now that might confuse your brain :(( then I'm away to Canada to visit grandchildren and when I come back I'm hoping to experiment a bit more with watercolors. I'm finding it very hard to get the right mix unfortunately. Cheers for now Oliver

Hi Marie, It appears that Mrs Google has hidden my reply, so I will try again. Great to hear from you and delighted that you liked my little piece - must say that I really enjoyed doing it. At the start I felt like throwing it in the bin but it goes to show that it is important to stick with it. What art work are you doing now - especially with the rainy and cold weather - there is no excuse :) I tried another watercolor for this week's video, but the colours just got too dark and foreboding - not good and definitely not zen. So I think I will take a step back and do line 3D Line illusions to clear the brain. Hopefully I will commit that to paper tomorrow. As they say in West Cork 'Beir Bua' Slán Tamall Oliver

Hi Cyril, Thank you so much for taking the time out to send me a comment and that you enjoyed my little piece. Have to say that I very much enjoyed doing it. Being an engineer of old, I have a soft spot for sine waves. Since that work, I found out how to blend watercolor pencils using solvents and it had really transformed the vibrancy of everything. Here is the link if you want to see ua-cam.com/video/nguDl_mnL8A/v-deo.html Cheers for now, Oliver

Hi @TravisBrady-wn8fr Great to hear from you. This video is linked to the longer version if you want to 'follow along'. I am still trying to come to grips with blending and have just completed another video just showing my journey when I first try blending color pencils using Oil Thinner. The jury is 'still out' on whether it worked or not. Cheers for now, Oliver

Hi Ron, Thanks for the advice - unfortunately I found watercolor pains equally difficult. But, as you say - practice is the key. Thanks again for the comment Oliver

Hi Ron, Yep - get out there and just try it - when it doesn't work quite right, try and learn from it. Sound like you've been at the art for some while? Oliver

Hi @franzibies7644 Thank you for those kind words and that you found some relaxation - that is the aim of doodling (for me anyway). See you again soon Oliver

@@PenDoodling 😊

Hi, Thanks for your encouragement Oliver

Hi @peaceandcreativity4636 Such nice words - thank you. I started doodling only a few years ago when I was in hospital - I find it very soothing. I found your channel - some really beautiful work. I specially like 'Tinkerbell easystone painting' and 'Easy sunrise painting on stone'. Stone paintings are special. Love your journey - I subscribe and hope to follow that journey. Have a wonderful life

@@PenDoodling I am happy that you have started doodle art when you need healing.... We always need healing and meditation at some level even if we look perfect in health... Thank you so much for your wishes ❤️ Yeah It would be a pleasure to me to be a part of each other's art journeys. I send blessings 🤲❤️🕊️

Hi @WhiteStarLineCo Thanks for dropping by and checking ou the video, hope you found something useful

Hi @bubbacas23 Thanks for that support - much appreciated. What part of the world do you come from? Oliver

@@PenDoodling Florida 🤗

@@bubbacas23 where the sun always shines

@@PenDoodling 🤣 oh yes. 😂

@nyreak :)) I know the feeling and it is what I like about doodling etc. I often look at other channels and, like yourself, start doing one thing and then go off into my own world doing something else - all part of experimenting and finding a style - I think. Cheers, Oliver

Hi, I got side-tracked and didn't do the 12-petal flower, instead I did the 12 point star - just need to edit it down to something reasonable and it will be published. (First need a trip to the shops to get veg for dinner!) Thanks for watching Oliver

Hi, Firstly, much appreciate you watching my videos. As well as the 12 point flower I have also just uploaded a 12 point star using compass which you might like. Cheers, Oliver

Hi, I'm no expert in this, or any other art form. I just scribble and doodle and hope that somethings gels Cheers for now Oliver

Hi @destresswithyoga Thanks you so much. Do you have website? Oliver

Hi @Noone20103 Am so pleased that you liked it Thanks Oliver

@@PenDoodling Man keep up this great work you deserve more views and support! And your welcome! 😄

@@STR_SHINEZ hello again @Noone20103 Getting subscribers and views is indeed a plus - but I just enjoy doing them because it gives me an impetus to do something every couple of days. Thanks again for your support Oliver

Hi @bubbacas23 Very kind words - thank you What type of drawing do you prefer? Oliver

@@PenDoodling I love doing architectural and scenic drawings. Trees are my favorite to draw. However flowers are very hard for me to do. Which is why I am happy I discovered your channel. You make them so easy, it's incredible. I sometimes laugh at myself when I follow your drawings. (because I love drawing complicated scenes and I couldn't do a simple flower. 🤣) I swear artists are weird. I have friends who do the most amazing pieces of art and can't draw trees. So I think we all have our different strengths. But I am still happy I found your channel. I really enjoy learning how to do them. Other channels they go really fast, but you take your time to make sure we follow along and that's a big plus for me.

Hi @bubbacas23 You might like this doodle that I did of a tree trunk. I did a much bigger piece that took 6 hours and I called it the 'square of patience'. But this 'quick' one is a really enjoyable scribble/doodle Oliver

@@PenDoodling Thanks. I'll go there now.

Hi @bubbacas Thank you so much 😀 I agree - amazing how they get us all to calm down - so easy Cheers

Hi Silva, Hope you're enjoying West Cork Oliver

Thank you! Cheers!

My pleasure!

INSTAGRAM: Never quite worked out how to use that platform - I am a bit of a steam engine guy - even though I've been working on computers since the late 60's and software since the early 70's. for some reason - Instagram just doesn't gel. I did set up an account last week - but then got sidelined with work at home - I suppose I should get back and get to grips with it for once and for all Oliver

Hi, I think I replied to your Instagram question in one of your other posts - very late here and I got confused. Re a Long Playlist - good idea, it would be easier for me as well as there would not be any need for as much editing. I've just completed another 3D Line Art one and it was VERY LONG - but enjoyable. I'll look at seeing how it would look as an unedited piece. Oliver

Can't disagree with you there - we are our own worst enemy :) Oliver

Hello again, can't help you with supplies - I use cheapest copier paper :( I know the end result is not the best, but I'm OK with it for the present. I've always ben using scraps of paper - it allows me experiment without having the fear of destroying a pristine 'good sheet'. I find the cheap scraps more forgiving Oliver

Good idea that, I just seem to scribble when I can't work out what to do

That's a great idea! I will have to try that someday soon There are so many different ways just to doodle :) Oliver

You are so welcome! I am always going 'off kilter' but the wonders of video allow me to start all over again :) Thanks for viewing my videos. I am trying to decide on what best videos to do since I am on a learning journey. Oliver

You are welcome!

Thank you so much 😀 I think I lucky it ended OK. Usually, my colour not good, this time work OK.

Hi, Thanks for those nice words. I'm just 'winging it' myself - welcome to the club). Been experimenting with another floral design, this time 12 petals, looks more like a mandala. But when I 'coloured it' - I destroyed it :(( Have to give it another 'go' tomorrow. If it works out I'll post. Cheers.

Hi @bubbacas23, Great you found it useful - I'm experimenting with another Compass one (as I also find flowers difficult) and IF it works out, I'll publish it Monday or Tuesday. Appreciate the comment Cheers - and happy doodling

Hi, Do you have any Yoga or Relaxing videos?

I used to but closed my business and took them down.

OK, Had to close a business down many years ago - can be very stressful. One of the reasons I've resorted to doodling :)

Me too

Glad you like it

Thank you! 😊

hi Melody, glad you stopped by and watched, it means a lot all this is new to me - just feeling my way around.

I'm glad you like it

Thanks 🤗

I'm glad you like it

hi, thanks for popping in. like you, I find doodling very relaxing and immersive also. the world vanishes for an hour or so. yesterday I experimented with colour and, while not a disaster, it proved a bit frustrating and definitely less than calming ☹️ Nonetheless, I will upload it - warts and all

hi Silva, tomorrow 3pm 😁👌

Thanks 🤗

now I must find something new

Every 'sub' is precious - thanks

Hi Miss Betsi, Thank you so much for visiting the channel - you are an inspiration to myself and so many other people. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Ron, She sure is an inspiration. Do you do much 'doodling'? I'm very much a beginner to this format. Oliver

Hi Marie, Hope you have pulled out the pen and paper and given this format a blast - I think it would be right up your alley. Oliver

You're a natural !!
