Hello there,
I'm Doodling Hitman!
I love to read comics and try to draw my own the best I can. I came to draw so much because I love the game series from Team 17 called "Worms" a lot. Thanks to that I started drawing these jolly Worms often and noticed I was quite okay at drawing facial expressions. Ever since then I kept drawing!
Besides all that I just love to drink gallons of tea, play video games, mess around with my cats and just plain relax!
Enjoy your stay! :)
-History of my online Name-
I got my first "Hitman" based name way back when I first obtained Xbox Live on my Xbox 360 console. My cousin helped me out by setting up online for me, and picked "III H1TMaN III" as a name for me since I loved the Hitman games so much, Blood Money being my favorite. Of course "Hitman" or any better version was already taken, so I agreed with the one my cousin chose.
When I decided to make a new name, I had to keep Hitman in it one way or another, no matter what. It was quite a difficult task since lots of "Hitman" names had been taken. After some searching and thinking, I finally came with an idea to merge one of my favorite hobbies with my online name, which is drawing silly stuff of course! So I came up with Doodling after a while, and thought Doodling Hitman fit quite well! Especially since I wanted to start more seriously on the internet with a better name for people to recognize if they like my comics. Something that fits, you know?

I currently don't make any comics since I am quite busy art wise with my job. Personal art is also minimal, but I do pop out an occasional doodle now and then.
Just thought I'd let anyone who has been wondering know about my whereabouts. :)
If both aren't possible? Who knows what I might end up doing...
Anyway.. This was quite the write up. I just felt like I should at least inform the fans that I have about my whereabouts. I am really sorry if you expected more from me. I am quite unstable in my art career. Not knowing how to handle it efficiently and such..
I will sign off with this. I will keep trying to create fun content as long as I am having fun with it also. That won't be an issue however. I've always drawn for the pure fact that is is fun to do. But not improving can quite hurt the enjoyment..
Have a great weekend everyone!
Part 3
It's really tough since a lot of advice from great artists is to draw every day, to keep learning, to do lots of things and never be afraid. That last one counts especially for a sketchbook. I tend to treat everything I make as something that needs to be perfect. So I need to release myself from that and act "kewl" and "loose" and just draw for fun in my sketchbook and learn new techniques in there. However, I don't know when I am doing good. Artists say to learn new things everyday and such, but what about my usual cartoony comics about Worms and whatnot? I love doing that. Is it wrong to keep doing that then? Since it's not different or whatever.. I do hope that once I learn new things I can implement those techniques into my cartoony comics to make these better and improve in quality also!
It's just that I sometimes feel I do not improve whatsoever. That's probably also because I don't draw ENOUGH at all. I give up so quickly or feel too tired. In the end, that depresses me even more. I procrastinate way too much. It is incredibly difficult to stay productive.
To me, drawing is fun, although I do strive to obtain a living with it. Whether it be with a webcomic series or some form of animations on Youtube. But do I have what it takes? Probably not, by a long shot. But that doesn't take away the fact that I will at least TRY!
Part 2
As of now I have 4 weeks left of my beautiful summer break. After that it's back to harsh reality. Anyway, let me fill you in of what I currently am up to. I am still not dead. Like I said, that won't happen until my actual death.
Anywho..
I am currently following an online course to draw better. I want to teach myself more stuff to become a better artist, and to become happy with my work. Lately I am quite depressed about my skill. It is so incredibly off putting if something doesn't go right with my drawing. If I can't get it to look how I wanted, I have the urge to give up. You have so many people creating incredible content, and in such a short time also. And here I am.. taking months to make a single comic. Now, I haven't actually been working on a comic for weeks. I have been busy making sketched storyboards for Pencilmation these past few weeks. I am so glad the creator contacted me last year. He's incredibly nice and has motivated me to keep drawing. He might not even know all this about me, that I am quite.. I am not sure how to put it. I feel rather sad than depressed. Perhaps a mix of both. But yeah, working with him has been amazing, and he even purchased an Adobe Animate License for me, as long as I work for him, which truly just had me.. I was so surprised. That is the nicest thing ever! In the end, to thank him, I want to repay him back for everything. I strive to learn a lot in Adobe Animate and can't wait to create good animations. It's slightly stressfull since I get this program for free, basically. I feel like I MUST achieve greatness. I will try of course, but fear that I may not become good enough.
Onto becoming better!
Part 1
Sketching out storyboards. Loads of fun, and totally happy to earn money with it!
But, in the meantime I am trying to make some comics. Like my latest one with Bill Cipher. Currently working on a Worms comic also.
I kinda stopped uploading anything to my Tapastic account.. It's kind of a hassle to make separate images of my comics and then to put them on here. But, I shall try doing so again. I am still using this site on a daily basis reading my favorite comics!
I think I will start all over in a certain way. I will keep the Worms and Fwends series open, but might make a new one to focus on that.
But I am still puzzling about that.
And I can't really change that easily in being consistent about uploading. I am so friggin busy with school garbage.. I even have a week break now, but need to work on school stuff since I probably won't make it otherwise.. I madly respect anyone who keeps a consistent upload schedule going. But I guess, I am also very lazy. No point in hiding that..
So yeah, hope I can entertain you guys with my silly comics! :)
