DOODLE INSPIRATION - LEARN HOW TO DOODLE

To my husband and kids for their love and support

Introduction

What is Doodling?

H AVE YOU ALREADY EXPERIENCED this? You are talking on the phone and while doing so, you unconsciously start scribbling or drawing aimlessly on a piece of paper. Thats doodling. Once the phone call is finished, you may look at the paper and may be astonished how creative you can be.

The original definition of to doodle is to draw, sketch or scribble idly (especially while you are doing something else). Other meanings are to kill time, to dawdle and to play or improvise idly.

The word doodle as a noun is said to come from the German word dudeltopf which means fool, simpleton, but later came to mean a figure, shape or design drawn or written while your mind is absent.

For reference: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/doodle

When you doodle while you are doing something else like talking on the phone, sitting at school or in a meeting, different shapes, patterns, drawings or scribbles may appear on your paper. They may look complex, detailed, imprecise or childlike. At this stage, you could unlikely call them artwork. So the big question is, can doodling be art and be defined as Doodle Art?

Reading this book, you will learn that doodling is more than mindless scribbling, that a doodle can truly be art and what supplies you need to start doodling. Additionally, you will be introduced to the doodle basics, easy doodle exercises and different doodle methods. To see how doodles may look like, you will also find doodle examples and ideas in this book. The doodle prompts included in this book may give you inspiration and

motivation to create your own doodles.

Notice:

The illustrations in this book are all created by hand, so they dont look perfect which is not important because doodling is not about creating perfect artwork, its about having fun while you are doing it.

Intentionally, there arent instructions for each and every Doodle, Zendoodle and Zentangle Inspired Art because I want you to use your creativity and own ideas. The illustrations in this book are there to make you familiar with different doodle methods and forms and to inspire you to create your own ones. So if you expect step-by-step instructions for each and every doodle in this book, I have to disappoint you. Thats not the sense of doodling, thats not the sense of creative work in general.

Now read this book, get some inspiration and start your doodle fun!

Why Do People Doodle?

F RUSTRATION, BOREDOM and tension are one of the reasons why people doodle. During a meeting or phone call, some people get bored, frustrated or tense because they hate doing nothing. To relieve their frustration, boredom or tense, they start to doodle. With doodling, people can reduce their stress in a creative and playful way.
