Hello, guest, and welcome to Oodles of Doodles, a site dedicated to art requests done by Fely. Oodles of Doodles first opened on October 19 2011, originally with the intent of becoming an online portfolio showcasing my Neopets-related works, while also offering art requests on the side.
Soon enough however I realized that fulfilling requests was much better in that it benefited other users, especially those who wanted art of their beloved pets. And eventually, Oodles of Doodles was transformed into a full-fledged art request site, ready to give you quality pieces.
If you have any questions, suggestions or comments you'd like to throw my way, please feel free to Neomail me.

At the end of every month, the requested pieces completed within that time are moved over to my portfolio.
extrasFAQWhy is your site named "Oodles of Doodles"?Honestly, I just wanted a silly, quirky little name that had the "Ooh" sound in it. Do you do trades? Currently, no. Though I may consider it in the near future. What materials and programs do you use to create your works? All of my sketches are created with the help of my trusty art arsenal: a 0.5 Faber Castell mechanical pencil, an eraser and a nice, thick sketchpad (the brand doesn't really matter as long as the quality of the paper is good). Because I'm much too lazy to go out and buy a decent scanner, I take photos of my drawings with an old Canon camera. Most of the work is done on Adobe Photoshop CS5. What won't you draw? Stuff that has no place on a family-friendly website:. But otherwise, I'll draw even the silliest of requests as long as they're Neopets-related. Why do you only draw Neopets-related art? Well, there just seem to be more people asking for art of their pets than those who would want anything else. I respond to the call of the majority since those who "want anything else" can easily have their requests fulfilled by those who lurk on the other corners of the Internet. How do I view your teeny-tiny images? Simple: just drag your selected image to the address bar and drop it there. Why is your gallery so...bare? It takes me quite a while to finish a single piece because I tend to be a perfectionist when it comes to my art. This is both a blessing and a curse since the finished product is often worth the effort, but it comes at the expense of so much time. Can you teach me how to draw? There are tons of tutorials out there which can do a better job than I, so I can direct you towards them instead. But what I personally can do for you is critique your artworks via Neomail should you be interested in my opinion. I'll give you both the positive and negative aspects of your pieces as well as suggestions to help you improve. How do you achieve the lineless look to your art? It's quite simple, really: I just create the shapes of the different parts of the piece (hair, eyes, etc.) using the pen tool, creating as many layers as there needs to be for the different elements of the picture. And for the finer, extra details (birthmarks, scars, etc.), pressing CTRL+ALT+G is crucial because this creates a clipping mask that makes it so that the only the layer below the clipped layer will be affected by any edits done to it. Why don't you outline your art? Considering the limitations of the pen tool, doing so would be far too time-consuming. Plus, I personally enjoy the effect (and subsequent challenge) of lineless art. I say 'challenge' because the key to well done lineless art is picking colors that are not only vibrant but go perfectly with each other to create a coherent and striking picture. Who or what has influenced your style? I'm proud to say that Disney has made the biggest impact on my personal art style, specifically Milt Kahl and Glen Keane. tips and trickscharacter design![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Of course, there will always be exceptions to these standards (such as The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland who is a circular character but is foul-tempered and spiteful), but in general characters are designed with these shapes and their connotations in mind. photoshop![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() more help?Here are some art-related sites which I believe can truly help one grow into a better artist.

I'm 22 years old, Filipino-Chinese, and a massive geek. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, with my earliest influences being Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z, with a dash of Don Bluth and Disney.
