iDOODLE

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


Here is one of my favorite ways to "jump-start" my creativity and get new ideas flowing....

Pick a theme & doodle mini-pics relating to the theme (l chose Autumn here). Try to fill up an 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of graph paper. No need to be perfect... just keep on drawing whatever pops into your head. All it takes is a pencil, a good eraser, a micron pen, & a tablet of graph paper.

You can easily take this creativity-booster along with you wherever you go, so have fun doodling!! :)

QOL, Ducky!! ~ Only you would think of a term like SUPER-DOODLING! ;)

Actually, I do sometimes color these in... but I also like to save a black & white copy. That way I can scan & enlarge the smaller designs & print them out without wasting too much colored ink.

Thanks for visiting my "blahgy", kD! Always a JOY!! :)

When I first received this blog entry in my email - I just looked and looked at this wonderful page of drawings!

What a fun and wonderful idea Patti! I'm going to try it!

Even more fun, was to see some of your drawings... and I'm with Ducky... I want to see all your colored versions too LOL!

Wonderfully - great - "doodles"

Guess I should warn you, Melanie...

Doodling this way can be addictive!!

I keep a notebook of all my little sketches, and sometimes they turn into something BIG!!... they can be a great source of inspiration for future projects. :)

Thanks for your sweet comment, Mellie!!

Great idea, thanks for sharing! I have an old pad of graph paper that is now going to be used!

Blessings!

I hope you don't mind, but I've linked this idea to my blog. I showed my kids and am trying to encourage them to try (I did one first.) Thanks for the great idea!

(If there is a problem, please contact me at my blog or email: yankeemomnh@yahoo.com)

Cherie & Kristin...

So glad this idea appeals to you both! Sometimes a new approach is all we need to spark our creativity!

ENJOY!! :)

(...and thank you Kristin for linking your blog post with mine. I feel honored! :) )

Kristin said...

Thank you, Patti. I'm relieved that you don't mind. I've only been blogging a year and wasn't sure if people like that.

It's a very fun idea and I hope it generates some traffic to your site so that more people can see your adorable artwork! (I know my sister would probably like it.)

3 of my kids are inspired and have started collages!
