DOODLE DAY MAY - Day 31



Welcome to Day 31 of the Doodle Day May challenge! Did you make it? Did you create a doodle every day of the month of May? How many of the doodle prompts did you try? If you didn't use them, were you able to come up with ideas of what to doodle on your own? Great! This group is amazing! The doodles that would appear on the Facebook Group page were soo fun to see. There were so many different approaches to the prompts. Doodlers were using pencil, crayon, marker, colored pencil, watercolor paints, computer programs in 2D and 3D. Soo much fun! If you want to add the badge to your blog, site, or pinterest page, just right click it to save it and post it. Set your badge to re-size to fit and link to my blog and post.

Thank you all for doodling with my daughter and I. The Facebook Group page will stay open so that members can continue to post doodles and share ideas. Post your questions about media, drawing tools, computer programs. Post links to artists you find or How To videos you discover. Post accomplishments related to drawing. Post classes you find or have taken that sound fantastic!

Here are links to all of the blog posts from May 1-31. I will post my summary post on Monday.
