Doodle Days are fun days.
You can doodle anywhere!
In a shape & around a shape.
In a rectangle, in a square, in a circle.

Doodle Day
Doodle, Zentangle, Daydreaming in Ink...whatever you call it, the concept is the same.
It is SUB-CONSCIENCE Drawings.
It keeps your hand active to allow your mind to concentrate.
Its NOT DRAWING!
Drawing has a plan. If your plan goes astray, you get upset and stressed.
Since Doodling is spontaneous and unplanned,
expectations are non existant .
You just GO WITH THE FLOW of the ink, literally.
Using lines, shapes and patterns to create
a blend of unplanned spontaneous harmony on paper.
You are not supposed to make it 'anything". No cats, no dogs, no houses, no things.
Just pure designs.
Using a pen is best, so you are not determined to erase what comes out.

Here's mine on paper.

WHERE DO YOU DOODLE ?
Paper, your shoe, a DVD, your hand, your homework...
DVDs
Permanent Marker on an old DVD or CD looks beautiful.
You can doodle a circle with RADIAL DESIGN.
Here I had kids trace a used disc 3 times to plan out a design.
