Suggestions?

Happy New Year everyone! I am so thankful for the many friends and followers who have helped this little blog grow to 268 followers in just 6 short weeks. WOW!!! My dearest friend Dawn was the biggest help of all. She taught me everything about blogging, ran the Candy contests, the Doodle Diva blog and personally contacted many of you all over the world to tell you about Karen's Doodles! Thank you Dawn!!! Be sure to visit Dawns Crafts to see all of her beautiful projects.

Do you have any suggestions about what new additions you would like to see this year? What about challenges? What would inspire you? What would be fun? How about tutorials? I was thinking about teaching my techniques for coloring with watercolor pencils. Also tutorials for drawing and shading-interested?
Please use this post for suggestions, ideas, inspirations, anything you can think of to make this little blog grow into a community of true friends:-)
Big Hugs to all of you!

Shading is always a problem, well for me anyway! And for some others I've noticed, so please do those!

Hi Karen
Challenges sounds great but what I'd like to know is if you also illustrated Oink Finds an Egg? I'd love some of the characters in the book:) Moo is fabby and Grandma and Grandad are just too cute for words!!!
Whatever you do I'm sure it will be a huge success and I can't wait to see what happens next
hugs

Yes, I also illustrated the book "Oink Finds an Egg" I will be adding on the book for sale soon. It will be a wonderful book for Easter. Great idea to add stamps of the characters in the book :-)Thanks to everyone else for their fabbie ideas! Keep 'em coming. Nancy, you inspired me to post a hedgehog drawing. Look for it later today :-)

Congratulations on your success!!! I adore your images,and have already purchased some,I just need some time to use them.The challenges are a great idea and maybe you could do some themed images eg my daughter wants a pirate party and I could only find one pirate girl after much searching and purchased that.

I am SO glad I found you!!! Your images are sooo cute and so UP my alley!!! I would love to see more cute animals - especially that turtle and squirrel you have in your header?!?!?! SOoooo cute!!!! Tutorials are great - I don't use my watercolour crayons enough so to learn how from a pro would be awesome!! Challenges are fun too!!! I'd play along!!!!

Tutorials are always good! I really love your animal creations. They all look so wonderful. Have you ever thought of maybe doing a chinchilla? I don't think anyone out there has one. So I would like to see a super cute chinchilla!

Chris (catt871) said...

I had to laugh when I saw your "hunting widow" image...I often say that I am a "fishing widow" - my husband fishes in the summer, AND winter!!! And now, to top it all off, he has a new hobby so I am not only a "fishing widow", I am a "Remote Control car racing widow" LOL Boys and their toys!!!!
