I’ve recently been on a kick of doing “doodlegrams.” Combining disparate ideas to make something new has been around about as long as people have been making art, but I was particularly inspired by the Instagram user Daily Doodle Gram for her creative combinations of other people’s Instagram shots.

Here is one that I’m especially proud of, partly because one of the subjects reached out to me to be included! I feel honored that he wanted me to draw him. If anyone else does too, please let me know 🙂

I combined one of @1BOY_Q‘s photos with a photo from Instagrammer @Issycorby

Here’s the pencil rough draft, before I inked it. Isn’t it surprising what a difference ink makes?

I had a lot of fun with this project, and I’m happy with the final result. What do you think? Let me know if you want to join in the fun!
