You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. Plato
Instead of going into a meeting at work, only equipped with a ball point pen and a notepad, lately I’ve been bringing a black marker with me too. Not for note taking, but for doodles. I, like many others, listen and concentrate much better when I can do something with my hands. And since I can’t bring my knitting (because it is at home most of the time) I bring a good pen. Love bringing a good pen to meetings these days!
Some birds and even bears have been born this way, but most of the time I doodle patterns. I love filling a whole page with repetitive forms. And then sometimes when I come home, if I feel inspired, I color them in.
Office Dot Doodle that I colored in later. I just couldn’t resist those dots.
Or if I forget my black pen I grab a pink highlighter, and create a field of spring flowers:
Do you doodle at work too? Or do you do something else to be able to sit still and concentrate better?
Oh how much fun! I love this post and adore all your doodles!
Love that quote! – and yes will be taking up ‘office-doodling’
I bring some colored gel pens and an art journal to the monthly, all-day, education meetings. Most of the day has nothing to do with the Library I work in, so art & doodles keep me from fidgeting in that annoying way I can have…
I always doodle when I am in meetings . . . and my desk calendar fill up every month with what I doodle when I am on the phone and most messages I take even get a few swirls and dots. Love the quote.
I especially love the circles ^_^
Konstigt nog gr jag inte det… Jag lyssnar bttre nr jag inte ritar, har svrt att koncentrera mig p ngot annat d. Fast framfr teven kan jag klottra lite. D behver jag inte vara s fokuserad :)
I love those triangles and circles, Hanna! (That Plato was one smart guy, wasn’t he? ha!)
I wrote “Doodles are your creativity drooling.” as a comment on a wonderful doodlers post this week. I think it is kind of true !
When I don’t quite have the time to devote to a full artistic project, doodles give me just the fix I need ! ;)
Happy Doodling, Amazing One !
I doodle at work too but they never look like this! I need to step up my game!!
