DOODLE DAY JULY - DAY 8


Welcome to Doodle Day July! We are on Day 8 and today's prompt is Julie Rowan-Zoch's idea. I have to tell you that when I read this prompt (she sent it to me a few days ago), I had to look it up on Google because I hadn't heard of it. Amazing! Fascinating! I stared at the images as I reached for my sketchbook. I drafted out a 2 inch square and tried one immediately. WOW! You all know that I enjoy Zentangles and some of you know that I enjoy creating Tessellations. Today's prompt fits with those and I have already done 5 of them. I'm addicted. I even created a Pinterest Board that includes a short video of how to create this type of doodle so it can be taught to students.

Curious?

Julie's Blog and see this prompt!
 
 
 
 
Have Fun!

DOODLE DAY JULY - DAY 7


Welcome to Doodle Day July - Day 7! It has been a week, are you making time to doodle each day? These drawings are meant to be quick sketches so if you think you don't have time, try to take 2 minutes for doodle time.

Today, Julie Rowan-Zoch has her fourth doodle prompt for us. If you live in Georgia or Florida, this one will make a lot of sense. I'm about ready to build an ark. Oops, don't want to reveal her prompt. Go to her blog to check out her post then grab whatever you like to use - pencil, pen, crayon, pain, tablet, etc...and enjoy a bit of doodling time.

 
Have fun!
 
 
Are you new to Doodle Day? Check out the May posts and prompts on the sidebar on the right of the blog. Back by popular demand, Doodle Day is going through July with guest posts and prompts donated by May doodlers. If you want to join the challenge, leave a comment or join the group on Facebook and start doodling with us.
 
Doodling everyday is good for your brain, increases creativity, healthy for your arm, fun, relaxing, etc... Nobody is judging your doodles, no grades, no "assignments" - use the prompt if you are inspired by it. Enjoy the process. For writers, this is a chance to see your scene or character in a new way. For artists, this is a drawing challenge that is not hosted by an art director - nobody will ask you to re-work it. For parents and children, this is a chance to do something fun together this summer. For those who have always believed that they "can't draw" - I say that's baloney. Everyone can draw. There are a million different styles, what's yours? Just put your pencil to the page and see where it takes you.
 
As Peter H Reynolds says in his book THE DOT, "Make your mark."

DOODLE DAY JULY - DAY 5



Welcome to Doodle Day July - Day 5! I hope you all enjoyed doodling things that sparkle yesterday. If you are new to this challenge, I post a prompt each day and you create a quick doodle. Let your mind and arm go and create something related to the prompt. If the prompt doesn't inspire you, doodle something else that day. The important thing about this challenge is to take time each day to be creative (without the pressure of perfection).

Julie Rowan-Zoch has posted today's doodle prompt on her blog so go check it out, grab a pencil, and doodle.

 
Have fun!
