How to Doodle?
Doodling is severely underestimated by many. Commonly thought off as the past time of the bored, doodling is seen as an intrinsic habit, being completely aimless in consequences and use. But that’s not the case. There is a very creative and artistic side to doodling that people haven’t told you about. This will all be explained in a few points below.
Doodle Art Inspiration.
Doodling and inspiration may be considered twin brothers. You can doodle objects that trigger your imagination, helping you feel inspired. You can also apply your crazy imagination to doodling, creating the most impressive art forms out there!
There are many websites where you can download free doodle sketches, but the best free doodle art website I have found is http://doodleisart.com.
When doodling, just remember that it’s all about the mental flow state that helps you pump out interesting drawings. All you have to do is put pen on paper, and draw your desires away. Don’t be worried too much about specific “rules” you have to follow when emptying out your creativity.
Free associations.
Doodle what you see fit. You don’t have to stick a specific theme, simply because everyone around you thinks it’s best. Always remember that there are no rules to doodling.
When you doodle, try to vary what you put on paper. You can draw anything from scary aliens and dragons, to flowers on colourful grass, to sewage pipes bursting… whatever floats your boat.
Doodle what you see.
You can always use the environment around you as a source of inspiration when doodling. If you’re in the classroom, you can doodle stick figures blabbering on next to a whiteboard. If you’re at a meeting, you can draw a fat guy that’s filibustering about endless projects and tasks (your boss probably).
Mix and match what you see too in the environment, with other things going on in your head. Let’s say you see a star, and you were thinking about the apocalypse just a few moments ago. You can draw a meteor shower raining on freaked out people. That would be hilarious to look at!
Create your “doodlville”.
The more experience you gain doodling, the better you’ll be at presenting excellent quality major scenes. You can doodle entire worlds with the most exotic blend of different figures and themes. Just a few things off my head would be:
You can doodle a world that is populated by a superior “rat” species, which does tests on “small human subjects in labs”.
You could doodle a world where humans invade aliens.
You can doodle a world where a bunch of stick figures have to combat flying swords.
Simple doodle whatever it is you wish to doodle, and do it to your heart’s content. And who knows, maybe eventually you could end up creating a doodle world, or a doodle galaxy!
