DOODLE DAY JULY - DAY 31

Welcome to Day 31 of the Doodle Day July drawing challenge! You made it! Today is the last day of July. Congratulations! I hope you all keep doodling. It is great for building hand/eye coordination, reducing stress, releasing and increasing creativity, and it's fun, too. What was your favorite prompt this month? Leave it as a comment or let me know your thoughts. The Doodle Day Facebook Group page will not close - it will stay open and active and I will continue to post my doodles, links to tutorials I find, classes to recommend, books I hear about, artists I want to share, ideas and inspiration and I hope you all will, too. The Doodle Day participants have been such a great group of supportive and encouraging and inspiring individuals - I hope you will stick around or pop in when you can so that you can continue to inspire and be inspired.

Here is the link list of every prompt post from this month - you are always welcome to use the reference photos and doodle from any of the prompts.

I did create a t-shirt, notebook, mug design of the assorted doodles of the word "doodle" that were emailed to me and I also have the design at the top of this post. I will post the link to the Café Press store later today.

Now, for today's doodle prompt - Alayne has posted one of her favorite ways to create a doodle that truly embraces the absentmindedness of a "doodle." Click below to head to her blog and check it out:

DOODLE DAY JULY - DAY 26

 

Welcome to Day 26 of the Doodle Day July drawing challenge! With several new participants joining us, I'm excited to see how many people have jumped into the freedom of doodling. Yesterday's wish doodles were very interesting to see - thank you Alayne, for posting that prompt. Since we have recently doodled box, monkey, puppy, totem, and wish - I propose we step back a bit and take a breather from the concrete doodles.

Today's doodle prompt is WIGGLY.

Doodle something wiggly or fill a space with wiggly lines or create a Zentangle of a wiggly pattern or create a Notan using wiggly spaces, or design a wiggly font. If you are new to Zentangling or Notans, we did those prompts earlier so check out the examples below to see some really fun doodles.

Wiggly Zentangle

Wiggly Notan

Wiggly Font

By definition, wiggly means:
1. To move back and forth with quick irregular motions.
2. To move or proceed with a twisting or turning motion.
3. To insinuate or extricate oneself by sly or subtle means.

Today's prompt will loosen up those doodle muscles. Go ahead and start drawing a wiggly line and see what it turns into or just keep wiggling that line around the page. Here are some wiggly doodles to get you going:

 

 

 

Have fun!
