Doodles are simple drawings of just a few meaningless lines. You add your own lines - and colour if you like - to create a sketch of anything you like. The point of doodles is not to create art, simply to use your creative vision. Art Doodles are more sophisticated doodles with colours and textures. They are especially designed for graphic artists to complete with their favourite graphics programme.

Here's a tip for your next blog entry; from a comment left by a joining member who teaches yoga:

I'm very interested in Doodling as a key aspect of self expression. I teach seminars using doodling as a creative introduction. I also have people doodle their "relaxed feeling" after a healing session, and design personal breath/movement practices for them. Any of you others out there use doodling in a specific way?
