Doodle LessonsGood Morning, Quilter/Doodlers!

Welcome back to Lesson 9 in Better Quilting Through Doodling

First…a little blog update–The Free Motion Quilting Tutorial Page on the header has been updated.  All of the tutorials should be there.  (That was WAY overdue…there were lots of missing tutorials!)

I also added a blog button (See the Sidebar) for you to add to YOUR website for direct access to The Inbox Jaunt.  I have had technical difficulties with the button in the past so if someone could test it and let me know I’d be grateful!

While I was at it, I added a Doodle Tutorial Page –also on the top header.  All of the tutorials can be found in one place.  Click on the photo to go to the full tutorial.

There are now nine doodle lessons–How is it going?

Are you confirmed Doodlers now?

DOODLE LESSON NINE

From the photo above, can YOU guess which is THE ONE shape every doodler must know?

It’s the “Cigar”.

Every doodler must learn the cigar shape.

It’s a little tricky to get just right.

As you are practicing this flattened circle, use some fun markers and create designs with it…

It’s more fun that way.

Doodle LessonsAs doodlers, we will call this shape “The Cigar”

Artists call it The Foreshortened Circle and they talk about boring stuff like the Major Axis and the Minor Axis

Skip it…just draw Cigars and have fun with them!

Doodle LessonsOnce you can doodle a Cigar, you can doodle a lot of fun things…Doodle LessonsSo light up your doodles with cigars!Doodle LessonsAnd light up your quilts with doodling!
