Some doodles I've been doing
« on: June 12, 2014, 08:17:03 pm »

During my free time during school this year, I've been creating some doodles on any graph paper I can get my hands on. Over time, I have amassed a moderate collection of these, and today I finally got around to scanning some of them in. I have 17 of them currently scanned, and want to hear any comments or suggestions the rest of you have. I have named a few, usually related to the limitation/challenge I imposed upon myself. I am interested in any comments or suggestions/tips you guys have, so please share. Some are unfinished, as (especially at the start of the year) each doodle used to take around 2 to 3-ish hours to do, leading to me finishing one (or less) a day. The unfinished usually have enough to see what the end result would look like, however.

I usually start with a 'base', usually a near-regular octagon or a square, and build up off of them. The way I did this has changed throughout the year, and the doodles are in roughly reverse chronological order, with doodles #7 -16 being from the beginning of the year, and 1-6 from much more recently, being from the past couple weeks. If I have any commentary on any quirks or challenges on a specific doodle, it will be in the spoiler containing the doodle. #17 is rather special, as it was selected to be made into a quilt, using white and dark grey. It has a few other peculiarities, which will be explained later.

bases are listed as [shape](side length), followed by any extras it may have.

Sorry about the quality, as the shading can be hard to see and my scanner seems to only export to .jpg. :(

Some of these are pretty dwarven! Congrats :) There's a thread for things people make also, in case you want to use that instead of your own thread.

Thank you all! I'm going to upload a couple more, numbers 18 through 21, in a moment, and a few more should come up in the next few days if I have some time after finals.
