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? :-)

  1. also doodling can get you reach great ideas in any parallel creative field.
    Like 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.:)

  25. Doodling 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.
    Best part is it keeps those brain cells sharp :D

  26. This is real art - smart young A & P.
    When I doodle, the result is like inking a hen's feet and making it walk all over the paper !!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Lovely!

    I loved the way the letters are put in different ways in Atul's sheet.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Cooool.....such a creative time-pass.....good idea, lemme see if I can get mine to do it;-D

    I 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

  30. Kewl!!!

    I 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!

  34. Hey there! In the U.K.!!! Okay, looks like I have some catching up to do here.
    I 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

  35. 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.. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Vinesh: Yeah--maybe I'll soon find ET in their bedroom :-) Daughter copied from son :-) But please dont tell her I said so :)

    Gillian: 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.

  40. Hi Preeti,
    I 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.
