How does one go about creating a vector doodle like this? It looks solid but still hand drawn? [Group 786] Thank you

When I want something which looks hand drawn I draw it by hand ! … Simples ! Let me explain. I have an E-ink tablet, mine is the reMarkable Paper Pro . When I have a drawing on paper I can then secure it to the front of the tablet with those tacky dots you can get for sticking posters to walls …

You can use vector tools like Illustrator or Procreate’s vector brushes for that hand-drawn feel. If you just want to doodle freely and have fun, check out Getadoodle—perfect for quick sketches and creative ideas! :artist_palette::pencil:
