Showing Off Some Very Messy Sketch Drafts Of Quoodles Along With My First Ever Attempts At Drawing Boodles.

Showing off some very messy sketch drafts of Quoodles along with my first ever attempts at drawing Boodles. My mind has been plaguing with ideas for the latter ever since I started my rough drafts for Toodles lol. Don't mind me I'll just be rambling about my "process" and ideas for these along with my other Oodles designs under the cut lol.

In terms of everything I have to say about my personal takes on the Oodles' anatomy, I don't exactly have much to say at the moment. My overall idea is that I kind of want them to have a more uniform appearance (and by that, I mean it's really just Mickey's body shape, as a reference to how nearly everything in Clubhouse is based on Mickey lol), with certain aspects of distinction between each Oodles comes from things like clothing, color palette, personality, etc. Another thing I want to add is I plan on moving forward with a "clown" or "clown-like" theme with my designs. This idea came from when I was first brainstorming my design for Toodles and wanted to incorporate that specific element into his design. Then, I thought, "Well, why not do that for the others? They're just as silly!! :oD," and the rest was history. I plan on elaborating more on this whenever I feel confident in what I have planned out, but as of right now, I think this is a good enough summary of it all lol.

Now, starting off with Quoodles, I've mentioned this before in a different post, but one of the core principles I had in mind with her was the idea of some sort of "Space Clown Doll Girlie Thing." The space part coming from the idea of her possibly counting as Toodles' Martian equivalent, considering we're first introduced to her in Space Adventure. In terms of references, I've looked at different things such as Minnie's various outfits throughout Clubhouse, Lalaloopsy dolls, Moon Dreamers, etc. As of now, I think I'm finally starting to figure out what exactly I want to do with her, giving her more poofy/fluffy skirt and having her dress decorated with little stars instead of polka dots, having her mimic Minnie in a way while still keeping the space theme (Also, they glow in the dark :oD). These current doodles for mostly for the sake of figuring out her color palette and how to apply it to my design. Overall, I really like the direction I'm taking with Quoodles and am hoping that Clubhouse+ doesn't abandon her as a whole. (Clubhouse+ proceeds to introduce an entirely new character named Martian Toodles or something like that. 💀)

Now, for Boodles, I somehow managed to have and also not have much to say. My mind has been filled to the brim with ideas for her for a while now, and only NOW am I barely putting them on paper. I haven't really gotten the chance to broaden my horizons in terms of inspiration yet, so the words "Goth Clown" have been ringing in my mind for a while. As of right now, I'm looking into more pierrot-ish vibe while leaning a bit more on the theatrics side. Oh, and another thing!! Since her face screen kind of stylizes her to have "hair" in a way, why not just...let her have hair? (It definitely isn't a wig SHHH!!!) She's still a massive WIP compared to how far I've come with the other two, but it's still a huge step forward compared to the current remaining Oodles. (There are like 2 or 3 left for me to design and with the possibility of Clubhouse+ introducing even more is... 🥲)
