Doodle art
Doodling is something everybody can do. But doodle art is taking it to a higher level, really.
I loved both these pictures that my children created. The one above was done by my son who will soon be 12 and one below was done by my daughter aged 8. Both are done on a A4 size paper.
Winter has set in and it gets dark these days in the evenings at 4.30 itself. It is pitch black and biting-freezing cold.
But things like doodle art is indeed time creatively spent instead of being parked in front of televisions and PSPs and X boxes. [Somehow I am partial to Wii :)]
All you need is a blank paper, sketch pens and some imagination.
Want to do doodle art? Tempting, isn't it? :-)
also doodling can get you reach great ideas in any parallel creative field.
ReplyDeleteLike all my 'fantastic' design ideas would be achieved while I am listening to theory lecture and accidently doodle something which could be a concept. :)
keeps u awake, helps with design!
I still have pages and pages of note books filled with doodles. they are fun.:)
me first, BTW!! ;)
ReplyDeleteArt is in their genes :)
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of my lecture notes as well :)
Thanks for sharing
Truely art is the BEST compared to those killing video games!!! Good that your kids are do it fine in Doodle!!!

ReplyDeleteDoodling was very much tempting when I was writing exams... :D during my College days.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of the hindi classes in college.. All the pages were filled with doodles.. Once amma saw the book n really freaked out :P
ReplyDeletemay i know why you are partial against Wii ? :P
ReplyDeletei doodle at times, my mom sees them as waste paper and it usually ends up in the bin :D
Shimmer: because I have a wii :) I like it better than x-box or PSPs as at least you ar active--especially in Wii-sports and Wii-fit :)
ReplyDeletedhanya: heh heh--my text books margins were always filled with drawings :)
Roshan:Thank you :)
Chandini:Thanks!
Jyotiajay: How do you know their names?! :-)
Multimenon: Somehow I hate winters--especially here. It is so dark and gloomy on most days. I yearn for some sunshine.
Raaga: Nice aunt you have!
Sundari:Will tell them you sais so :)
Only one: You must post some pictures! My kids can learn! Mail them to me if it isnt too much trouble--I'll show it to them.They keep searching for new doodle pics :)

ReplyDeleteDoodling is way too much fun..whenever I am bored, I don't even realize and I start doodling. Don't believe I have a single notebook from school or notepad from office which is free from doodles.
ReplyDeleteBest part is it keeps those brain cells sharp :D
This is real art - smart young A & P.
ReplyDeleteWhen I doodle, the result is like inking a hen's feet and making it walk all over the paper !!
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI loved the way the letters are put in different ways in Atul's sheet.
Cooool.....such a creative time-pass.....good idea, lemme see if I can get mine to do it;-D
ReplyDeleteI too used to doodle in college and at work especially when I received a telephone call. They always would be flowers, leaves and a flower pot or a bunch of balloons. If certain pages contained lots of flowers tht meant the call went on for a really looooong time;-D
hehe ahh doodle art... its so temting..i rember trying it out on the desks and notebooks and where not :P
ReplyDeleteKewl!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the mood steps in Atul's doodle.Who is Sam, btw?
I liked the way Purvi wrote 'Gross' - quite emphatic! :D
Should I send across some sun, we've plenty of stock?
I doodle too - everytime I wanna stop myself from sleeping during the meetings, I doodle! :D
Doodllly doo! Gawd! I'm losing it! Off I go!
Amazing!! I can't resist the temptation and am already busy collecting the accessories.........
ReplyDeleteRanjit : :-) Sene me the pic if you complete it. Welcome to my blog.
ReplyDeleteSparkling: Very observant you are! Sam is his friend--i had missed that too! :-)hee hee about doodling in meetings :)
Enigma: Yeah! Fond memories :)
Reflections: :-) I would also draw flowers but mostly a girl with hair covering her eyes and tonnes of Archie characters :)
Rohini: :-) Welcome to my blog and thank you for commenting :)
Aathira: :-) Thanks from the kids :-)
Ramesh: i am sure that would be beautiful too :)
Thinker: I agree--but mostly we doodle absent mindedly don't we?
Vineet: Brakeson means what? Breaks on? Welcome to my blog!
Shachi: I think 5 and 7 might be too young--not sure. My daughter is 8 and she learnt from my son who is almost 12.
aah!!! I ll update u about my DOODLE ART as soon as i get hold f my 3rd std Class work notebook....lolzz Did a lot f things on the last page.......and also a lot f portrait making of our very own teachers.....Missin the skul daysss
ReplyDeleteHey there! In the U.K.!!! Okay, looks like I have some catching up to do here.
ReplyDeleteI love the art your kids did. I put some of my kids best ones in frames...they make me so happy.
You could frame these! They are very good.
It is cold here too, of course we are in Canada, BUT...November has been rather mild so far so we have been lucky.
I'll be back, I have to go back and read you now....xo
How come their doodles are overlapping? Do they think alike?? And I really think there's a more secret message in these doodles. Something that signals alien invasion of the earth or the likes.. :-)
ReplyDeleteVinesh: Yeah--maybe I'll soon find ET in their bedroom :-) Daughter copied from son :-) But please dont tell her I said so :)
ReplyDeleteGillian: Hi! Good to reconnect. I had sent you a message saying we have relocated..perhaps it was lost! :) For some strange reason I thought you were in the US! Yes--great idea about framing.
Kuunal: :-) Okay :-) we will wait for your 3rd standard book to appear :-) Welcome to my blog.
This is great, thanks to this new idea of doddling, i to going to start today itself and will send you the first link :-0

BTW the best time t Doodle is when you are sitting in a meeting.
ReplyDeletei have seen a lot of people doing that but somehow was never able to comeup with somthing good.
Nice work by Atu & Pui
:)
Hi Preeti,
ReplyDeleteI realized i didn't leave any comments on this post but remember being highly impressed by your lil artist's doodling. I guess many of us do it unconsciously but i had not seen something like this, that can be framed as a piece of art.
I was trying warli on my notepad today and thought of this doodle post of urs.. the day i first read this post, i was telling myself to do it too. i must, today.. :)
Thanks for sharing such simple interesting bits from your life. They are always appreciated.
