How to make a doodle

                                 

1. Create a theme. You don't want a doodle to be about nothing. Some doodles are like that, but the best ones have a topic. The one above is about my hobbies. The theme of a doodle shapes the way in what your doodle will look like.

2. Once you have your theme, start drawing. I started a doodle about April fools. I drew a whoopee cushion with doodles coming out. For doodles, it is always better that you make a border when you make a doodle. For the April fools doodle, the border is a oval shaped border, to represent the gas coming out  of a whoopee cushion.

3. Start drawing the doodles inside the border! Draw different things you see daily, like a phone. Or, use your imagination and draw anything you like. You can draw human qualities to non human objects. Lastly, once in a while, you can make up your own character/person. But keep this in mind, don't fill up the whole doodle with characters, or the drawing will look cluttered.

4. When you are done with drawing, go over it with fine liners. They are a dark, black fine tip pens used to go over pencil sketches. A good brand to use is FABER-CASTELL, which has many tips, from thick to thin. Make sure to make some parts of the drawing really thin with the fine liner, and some parts really thick. When you are done, wait a few minutes, then erase over the fine lining.

5.  Lastly, color the doodle. Color whichever color you want because that is what makes doodles so unique.
