Doodle Penance: "fun easy thing s to draw"

Well, this week's installment of "Doodle Penance" seems pretty straightforward to me. Someone came to the blog this week looking for "fun easy thing s to draw." The alleged visitor spent all of zero seconds perusing our site, which makes sense, because we really haven't addressed that subject until now.

Before I go any further supplying this googler with what he or she was looking for, let me dedicate this post to Bully, the Little Stuffed Bull. I think my reasons will soon become clear.

Okay. Here's how to draw a fun, easy Thing S.

First, you make an S.



Then, you make another, more different S.



Then, you turn the S into a Thing S.


This step, by the way, is totally fun. If you have never drawn and inked the Thing's weird rocky hide, you owe it to yourself to give it a try.

Finally, get out your Benday dots and stick a bunch of them down to make the S the right shade of orange. (You may click to enlarge.)


And there you go: doodle magic. Check out its majesty. That's an S worthy of the ever-lovin', blue-eyed Idol of Millions.
