do you doodle?

If I've a paper and pen in my hand, even whilst on the phone, I'm always doodling. Bricks are a favourite, then flowers. A row of alternating horizontal and vertical lines (?).

Do you doodle?

Re: do you doodle?

Not often these days mainly because I rarely have a pen in my hand as I use the laptop for letters and memos etc

I doodle - usually lines that cross each other or circles joined together.. the psychologists would have a field day...

Re: do you doodle?

I have a pen in my hand most days at work. Spend a lot of time on the phone and that's my doodling time

Re: do you doodle?

I love doodling anytime I have a pen in my hand, good therapy for people like me who get bored easily. I’m a scroller, love long twirling scrolls, oh and a few ducks, I do them when the wife catches me wasting me time.

Re: do you doodle?

I very rarely have a pen in my hand nowadays, so the answer is of course that I dont doodle. Having said that, the question triggered a memory...

Back when I was at school, I failed art. In a way I'm proud of that. To fail in that subject is more difficult than a pass!

Anyway, just after I left, I saw a competition to design the cover of a loose leaf binder. I entered it, copying the doodles from the cover of one of my school books. The usual "signpost around the logo," maths equations, a bit of latin, knight on horseback. In other words, the usual stuff a schoolchild does. It won! I still have an example somewhere.

I doodle stars, often when I'm doing a crossword the margins are filled with them!

Re: do you doodle?

Frequently,constantly. I often surprise myself at the pictures I doodle-usually in cartoon form. By which I mean,I'm not taking notice of what I'm doodling,I just let my pen-hand 'do it's thing' while I use my other braincell for concentrating on the subject at hand. Back when I wore uniform,I used to write home on supplied sheets of A4,which had 2 holes on one side. [ok,ok-I filched them from the adjutant's office] Yes Dear has kept them-and every single one I ever wrote has a cartoon based around every single hole! Yet,to this day,I can NOT recall doodling them as I sat wondering what to write. [it was important not to let her worry,so I used to spend ages making sure I didn't inadvertently include anything bad]
But to this day,I still doodle-and write silly thoughts or one liners that occur. This desk is COVERED with notebooks/sheets of paper which have silly jokes or daft thoughts scribbled all over them.

...I really must find a hobby....

Re: do you doodle?

Yes. I'm a doodler, always have been. Scrolls like Jem.

I do doodle, and one of the things i do is Blind Contour drawing, looking at the subject but not at the paper. Its an art exercise to warm up and to coordinate your hand in to drawing what you see. Get some very funny results.
