Drawn by hand, mostly at the kitchen table
Monsters, misfits and one
very stubborn dragon.
Dawson's Doodles is a growing pile of sketchbook comics about the creatures that turn up when you stop paying attention. New pages go up whenever the pencil says so.
Fresh from the sketchbook
Latest doodles
Three pages picked more or less at random. Every one of them started as a single shape and got out of hand.
Comic
Monster Meetup
Six of them showed up. Nobody remembers who sent the invitation.
Comic
Dragon, Interrupted
So much for being a knight in shining armour. The dragon is unmoved.
Comic
The Guardians of Pottyland
Everyone got a job title and a weapon. Nobody got a plan.
Every doodle starts as a bad idea.
No thumbnails, no plan, no undo button. Just a pen, a page and whatever showed up first. That is the whole method, and it is not going to change.
How it works
Who is doing this
Hi, I'm Dawson.
I have been filling sketchbooks since I could hold a marker, and at some point it stopped being a phase. Most of what ends up here was drawn in one sitting, without much of a plan.
The characters mostly design themselves. I just keep the pen moving and find out who turns up.
