How to Mindlessly Doodle (Copics, a Peter Pen, and an iguana)

[@sueellensherer5294]

You are the undisputed QUEEN of Doodling!

[@karenzemko6518]

I have finally decided that there is NOTHING you can't draw and make look amazing! Whoda thunk a lizard would get you so much attention?? Congrats on that tho. Hopefully it will draw in more people for you. You deserve so much more interest and support for what you do. TFS

It was likely the eraser….but who knows! 🤣

[@sharontaylor4523]

I could sit and watch these for hours. Sending love and prayers for your Mum and you💖🇦🇺

[@tamir8492]

I love your doodle art. Congratulations on the 8.5 million views!! I’m glad others are discovering your artistic talents.

[@bimmermom]

This iguana is absolutely amazing! It’s lovely to hear you encouraging and answering questions from other artists as well as those of us who follow you on KZbin and take your classes … while I’m typing the iguana is appearing before my eyes … I just don’t know how you do it! ❤️

[@maverickspirit208]

You blow my socks off with nearly all of your videos.

[@beccogiallo]

I'm not an iguana person either, but I live yours.

[@Rockymtnbloom]

Amazing, Sandy! I love them! In Mazatlan I go to a Zumba class in a park where the iguanas sit in the up in the trees, sunning and watching us dance.

[@leannet3854]

your ‘doodle’ is a masterpiece!

[@nancyrolfe3033]

I’m so glad that went viral!!! It’s amazing and well deserved, Sandy. They are DEFINITELY missing out!! Maybe some will come over… I have watched and listened to Peter Draws for quite awhile. I’m sure you remember when he said he wasn’t really a fountain pen collector ….lol. Isn’t he talented? Not only with his drawing but also in his humor. I bet you noticed and loved his humility which was evident from the first time I watched. It’s one reason I subscribed immediately. So refreshing!!! Oh, Sandy! You are the most talented person I’ve watched and it’s in so many mediums and categories!!! I love watching you create a card, making the background, painting watercolor, drawing in pencils, Copics, pastels, inks, etc. I can see the tremendous growth in the three years I’ve been watching KZbin. I sincerely didn’t think you could improve like that but I see it especially in watercolor. I started watching KZbin looking for watercolor tutorials as I live in small area with no interest in art. I mean it’s BAD! There’s not any Art classes in the schools?? The JH , where I taught Math, had a part time retired teacher come back and teach a few years. When he and the HS and Elementary Art teachers left the district didn’t even attempt to replace them??? I have tried to get it going in the schools and town and the lady who runs the Chamber of Commerce was so against doing anything or even letting ME write a grant, etc. The mayor put on big show but he backed out when it was just me a friend…. I’m not giving up. We just bought a house in May with a huge shop and a she-shed. It also has 2 doors in the front of the house and one opens directly into a room that I’m going to set up for my arts & crafts. It would be very easy to hold a small class. I’d love to get something with children started in the she shed. There’s a lot of work to do before then! It’s an older home with a huge yard and garden with a large water well and pretty decent size well house. It’s older (1952) but built extremely well. We’ve been working on updating everything. Electrician just finished the electrical. He had to replace panels outside which this house has 5 instead of just one or two. He also did all the inside which was better part of 6-8 weeks!!! He didn’t realize our entire house was built from stucco and double layers “to boot”….lol Wow! I’ve such gotten off track. Hopefully you will be patient with this 63 year old. After retiring due to illness I found KZbin and the artsy people have made a HUGE difference in my life! You have been one of those people, Sandy!! Congratulations on the 8 million viral video!! Who knows?? Maybe, if it’s alot of “gamers” they might join us over on the light side….lol Just wanted to tell you how much you have helped me. More importantly, I wanted to tell you and send you a big thank you!!! You have no idea how much difference a few people on KZbin made in bringing joy and hope during a very difficult year. Your upbeat and positive, bubbly and encouraging personality was as important as your talent. Thank you for so generously sharing your time and talent. It matters. It really does! Sending prayers and blessings, It’s going very slow. Sending prayers for many blessings, Nancy Rolfe Texas

Your pic turned out fantastic! After watching this video, I finally tried doodling and was pleasantly surprised by the result. Your commentary on just allowing the background to take you where it's going to take you really hit home as I worked through it. And I loved the iguanas. My nephew has one (yes, I nearly fainted when he "introduced" us 😱) and I'm slowly beginning to appreciate them... from a distance.

[@SandyAllnock1]

I’ve only seen one in person once. It was about 6 feet long, I was sitting happily and sketching on a bench in Puerto Rico and he just trundled on by and gave me a look as I froze in place hoping he wouldn’t come any closer!!

[@kityac9810]

@@SandyAllnock1 Oh no! I think I would have tried to will myself into invisibility! LOL

[@SandyAllnock1]

I tried! ha!

[@nancyrolfe3033]

Please keep us posted if your second iguana goes viral too!! Fingers crossed and I will definitely go over there.😊

[@SandyAllnock1]

It didn’t-lol!!!

[@dittodelphox9939]

Yes, Jagras is in Monster Hunter! Very popular in the Monster Hunter series. I absolutely love this video. I'm going to give doodling a try.

[@deborahreeder2901]

WOW! I could watch you do this all day!

[@junkgirlpatti321]

I am excited that I found your channel. And Peter is one of my faves.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Mine too!

[@moreadsAlot]

Wow, Sandy! You are so creative!

[@BarryOnness]

Sandy, I love learning from you! I have just purchased this lovely fountain pen and look forward to trying it. I have used Copic Multiliners in the past for doodle projects, techniques I learned from Karen Thomas who lives near me. Keep making us stretch our artistic muscles!

[@amandasymon4363]

You have got me rolling - doodling here I come 👊

[@SandyAllnock1]

Woohoo!

[@just.jayshree]

Your work is stunning! I feel like I learned so much from this video! Thank you for sharing your talents 🖤

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Congratulations on the video going viral!! Love these doodling ideas, Sandy! ❤️-Maranda

[@tweetie1999]

This beautiful piece is very interesting and inspiring me to try doodling. Thank you and stay safe.

[@TRsPlace]

I did a little bit of this kind of doodling the other day and enjoyed it so much! And now your video. Makes me wonder how much more I'm going to enjoy it if I did it more often. Thank you so much for sharing your talent! 💛TR B

[@cowgirljane3316]

Amazing. And I don't even like lizards.

[@dantarradellas7351]

Wow. Awesome video. Very fun. thanks.

[@sunnycharacter]

Love your work! And I agree, Peter is pretty awesome and so so entertaining! I’d love to get one of his pens!

[@robinbecker9222]

You are absolutely amazing

[@fuzzydragons]

ooh! pretty pen! if i could use a fountain pen its one i would def buy great textures on the iguana from that pen 😀

[@itsmereem6748]

Thank you so much for showing me this technique, i tried it out and lovrd it and now i am trying to doing an ap art piece with this method

[@SandyAllnock1]

Wonderful!

[@paulaschuessler7282]

Stunning!

[@Jeanne88B]

Very cool!

[@sashaz2072]

Love this idea for practice!

[@sarajamal799]

Nice results!

[@annajavier5712]

I love to doddle I hint I’ll be doing more

[@nickjames2521]

Hi Sandy, love your content so far! I bet a video game developer(s) would pay you very well to handle their conceptual illustrations. Maybe not your cup of tea so to speak, but I think you would be a great, dare i say, ‘Monster Specialist’?! ❤

[@SandyAllnock1]

Lol!!! Monsters ARE fun...

[@nancyrolfe3033]

P.S. enjoy the weather…it was 100 here last week and still 90’s!! I’m in desert area… I won’t bother you again! Just figured it would make your 62 even sweeter…lol

[@colorcrazy2944]

How strange that YT thinks you need a doodling video but I watched it anyway. I couldn't imagine what you could say about mindless doodling, seems like mindless shouldn't need help, but you surprised me. I really like the idea of doodling on top of colors. Thank you! I hope you get a lot of views, just because I always want your videos to do well. It will be interesting to see if YT was right though & good luck with figuring out why that 1 iguana was so popular. Grats on so many views for it though.

[@JumpinJellyfish]

Incredible video! ❤️ What ink do you use to refill your fountain pen??

[@SandyAllnock1]

Platinum carbon black, it’s fab 😍

[@dezgrillz1833]

This is very inspiring to me! I have a fountain pen with a different tip. What type of tip are you using on this project? It looks like it flows better than mine.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Every pen is a little different-and paper matters too. The nib on the Peter Pen is whatever came with it.
