Are you a Doodler?

Are you a doodler?

What is a Doodler you ask?

Doodler is a person who doodles :D

But lets define it:



A doodle is a mindless sketch, an aimless drawing, while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Random thoughts are placed upon the paper during the time. Doodles can also just be sketches.


Here are some examples of mine.

Love to see your doodles :D

[Virgil]

I don't doodle much, only when I'm in a boring meeting and not participating much.

[papayahed]

Back in school my notebooks were filled with Doodles. I never thought about liking/not liking it's just something I do.

[Niamh]

I love to doodle.

[Weisinheimer]

I doodled alot in school; you could always tell which pages I read in my textbooks because the margins were covered in doodles. Now I doodle occassionally. I draw on my arms and legs sometimes.

[SleepyWitch]

wow, Lote, your doodlings are awesome! i couldn't draw something half as cool if my life depended on it.
i generally don't doodle. sometimes I draw plants or monsters or abstract shapes during lectures, but that only happens like once or twice a year.

[samercury]

I doodle all the time. If I don't doodle (at all) in any of my notebooks, that either means that the class was so fascinating that I didn't have time to or that I was so bored that it wasn't worth doodling anything.

[BibliophileTRJ]

I doodle constantly..... it's a way to occupy my hand while my head composes/edits the thoughts that I'm trying to get on paper.

I'd attach samples like Lote did (fantastic, by the way) but the vast majority of mine are anatomically correct and would be inappropriate for this site.

what's wrong with people having the right number of legs, eyes, ears etc? :D ;)

Thanks Sleepy :D

So I guess rest of your lectures are awesomely fantastic throughout the year? :D

hahaha,no, most of them are extremely boring. in fact, I hardly attend any lectures because they are not compulsory (we don't have lecture+seminar modules). i prefer seminars. the few lectures I go to are either really interesting or I'll write snail mail letters or chat with my friend :D

You don't have to go to lectures?! German education system should be interesting to any student :D

[SleepyWitch]

hehe :) well, our lectures and seminars are independent of each other (different topics, different teachers etc). there are no exams for the lectures, only with seminars, so whether you attend the lectures for your own benefit or not is up to you (of course they are useful for your graduation exams... but on the other hand they are boring and you study from books for those exams anyway, so why go to the lectures?)

Sleepy I am green with envy! I remember dragging my sleepy head on frosty mornings to cold lecture halls to listen to boring Lecturers spouting about their boring pet theories! :-(

[manolia]

Hahaha nice thread.
Yeah, i doodle all the time. The bad thing is that some times i doodle on documents i need for my work :( And some times it is a bit hard to un-doodle them :goof:

Hey it looks like 90% of LitNetters are closet Doodlers :D

Doodling=Creativity?

So come out come out rest of you :D

[Pensive]

Only sometimes. But my doodles are never as good as yours, Lote. I don't even have in mind exactly where they are.....ought be somewhere in my old note-books.

Nah, some are worth-seeing and possess aesthetic sense. (man I have started using my ex-Art teacher's words which I thought would be the last thing I would ever do) :D

Doodling = absent mindedness, daydreaming, when you speak on the phone with boring clients or your mom :D

Mine are bad!! :p

Everyone in my Canadian family doodles, and very well.

I had an Uzbekistani friend who could draw like Picasso. Well, not sure about that, but his drawings were freakin' amazing. He would draw with pen, and doodle the most amazing, creative stuff. I guess that's what an IQ of 170+ will get you? Maybe I can someday locate his old college notebooks (I have a coupple, long story) and upload on a scanner...

Yeah, here it is: the most detailed one is a very fat, humanoid monster, very benevolent looking, with horns and flowers growing out of its head, somewhat big eyes, muscular but quite fat; sitting down with one hand on its belly with an oversized fly looking up at it; and one of my favourite parts, a hand instead of an ear, cupped as if listening.

[Bakiryu]

Canadian, eh? I knew there was something wrong with ya! (J/k ) :lol:

But then again, my doodle all end up on deviantart. Like my new piece. kitsune.

[mercy_mankind]

Lote-Tree,

Here are some examples of mine.

your examples are very beautiful , I sometimes doodle when I found pen and paper, but not meaningful as your's

[applepie]

I love to doodle. It is a way to keep the hands busy when there is nothing else to do. It also got me through many highschool classes, and the few college courses I took on campus. I hate to sit still, and it keeps me from wandering.

[Lote-Tree]

Thanks Mercy. But doodles are doodles. There isn't any "meaningfulness" attached to them :-)

[mercy_mankind]

Don't mention it , :)
if it is true , you have to find another word to your paintings , I think that you are very good in painting .:thumbs_up

[Koa]

If I have a piece of paper and a pen in front of me tehre's no escape. At lectures if I don't take notes I doodle. If I'm on the phone and have pen ready for notes, I doodle. I'm waiting and I doodle. I do it all the time.
