My doodles all used to look the same. I had a repertoire of three or four, but at some point, I began to scribble. I scribbled and/or doodled whatever I happened to be looking at. When I can't give over my full attention to actually draw, scribbling/doodling is mindless, non-threatening and good exercise for creativity muscles. All it takes is something to write on and with.I think many may dismiss doodling as having no value except to keep one occupied when listening on the phone, at a business meeting or when thinking. I think doodling, scribbling or however I make marks on paper, can be transforming. It can change my mood, help me problem solve, take the edge off. Oh--one important note; my doodles may get saved as an idea for another picture, or get tossed. Either way, I see it as part of my practice.
