A Tulip Cartoon in a Time Lapse Art Video

I’m thrilled to report the first drawing request has come in, and been fulfilled! And it’s a hilarious one. The suggestion came from my friend Ryan, a photographer and blogger I met in Turkey years ago. His request was as follows: “Please draw me sitting inside a tulip.” Granted, Ryan!

Which Drawing Requests Get Granted?

This example shows the kind of cartoons and art I shall happily create for you on Drawings Of… Now, I did get a few other requests already asking for me to draw an existing character that is from a TV show or movie, but… I’m rabidly independent, and repetition is not how I roll.

I will not copy someone else’s style or ideas. Those have already been done. I’m in this for the mind EXPANSION, not duplication. (Heck — there are a million Queen of Hearts templates I could have copied, but I chose to make 3 psychedelic ones instead…)

What I WILL do in the world of drawing requests is to DIVE into deeply unique bizarreness with you. From ice cream bouncing to green-haired fairies, that random delight is my euphoria. I hope that helps as you scheme your next request: CREATIVE drawings! Speaking of green hair, after I drew Ryan’s tulip man, I was inspired to create a gal with hair (not hairs) the color of the tulip stem…

See a Time-Lapse Video of the Drawings’ Creation:

Now, for some art context, the ProCreate drawing app that I use to create art with my stylus has a particularly fabulous feature: It records the entire drawing process! You can see a time-lapse in this video here of how I created the tulip man, and then the lady. It’s very clear here how many times I erased a line or changed a color! Drawing is all about experimenting and changing.
