Research task 3:4 Creating your own version of reality

I went to http://www.book-by-its-cover.com/sketchbooks, I had such fun looking though all the sketchbooks and making mini notes (As below) in my own sketchbook.

The main conclusion was I “miss doodling”, I do still doodle, more so when stuck for ideas. But the kind of mindlessly doodling such when I was at school in class as should have been listening to the teacher.

While I did my “research” I found I was starting to doodle elements I liked.
The Sketchbook that inspired me the most I would have to say is Mattias Adolfsson.
While his work can be very detailed and likely put a lot of time and effort into each page, I really like how he explores each subject in great detail.
From his work I wanted to do a mini character exploration like his (below) with my own twist, this evolved into a full sketch of the “doodle” from the handing figures (above).
