DOODLE DAY MAY - SUMMARY POST

The DOODLE DAY MAY drawing challenge is finished but I have and will continue to create a daily doodle and post as many as I can on my blog, Facebook page, or in the Doodle Day May Facebook group along with links, interviews, contests, illustrations, news, videos, etc...

During the DOODLE DAY MAY challenge, I created several doodles each day and almost filled an entire brand new sketchbook. Below, I have posted just some of those doodle from each day to summarize my month.

If you would like to order a t-shirt or baseball hat for yourself or your child who participated, go to the Café Press store for Doodle Day May.

There were 64 adult participants and at least 10 children doodling along in the Doodle Day May challenge. These participants included artists, writers, teachers, parents, children, friends, and friends of friends. The group continues to be a productive, supportive environment where members can post their doodles, ask questions about technique and media, post links to artists, videos, blogs, books, announce art classes or ask for class or media or technique suggestions, etc...

Look for a Character-a-Day Challenge (not sure what I'll call it yet) in late August or early September that will last a week (or possibly two).

I hope you will keep checking back to my blog for Story Starters, Doodles, Interviews, Announcements, Tips, etc...

Remember to keep doodling and have fun! Don't overthink it. Just put your pencil to the paper and see where it goes.

DOODLE DAY MAY - Day 25

Welcome to Day 25 of the Doodle Day May challenge! If you are new to this challenge, it is quite simple, spend a few minutes each day in May to doodle. You can create your doodle on a computer, in a sketchpad, on a napkin, post it, pancake, or wherever else you can. You don't need a lot of time - just take a few minutes. I post a prompt each day but you don't have to use it. Once you have created a doodle. post it to our Facebook Group page if you are ready to share. If you want to catch up on previous prompts, they are all listed below.

Now, for today...
Today's doodle prompt is SQUARE.

What do you see in your mind when you think of a square? You can doodle something that is normally square shape like a table, picture frame, or pillow or something that isn't normally square shape like an animal, person, meatball...You can use a square as an element in your doodle or as the main focus. You can draw a square and fill it with Zentangles or make a square-ish font, or hat or anything else on the previous prompt list above. Enjoy letting your mind wander and turn a square into whatever you want. You can also create an abstract design of squares of different sizes on the page, just let your pencil go - a page of squares can be very relaxing.

 

Have fun!
