  1. I seem to doodle eyeballs more than anything else. Wonder if there is any significance to that?

  2. Circles seem to emerge in most of the themes I do for Doodles, whether it is in the technique (my first doodle swap - Colorado outdoors) or in the actual subject (snowmen and cameras)!

    (I did #2, #3 and #4 as well - figured I would say that here than leave three more comments)

  3. Flowers, very bright, colorful and sparkly flowers!! They seem to bring me much enjoyment! I'm not a very "girly" person, and I don't own many floral patterned things, if any. But I do so love to draw big bright flowers that don't exist except in my mind and then on the doodle...

    I'm absolutely loving the doodling and can't wait to swap some with other doodlers. :)

  5. Robes, or anything flowy seems to be my favorite thing to doodle. I typically tend to end up doodling medieval type things too. : )

  10. I like to doodle people, but I really like to try new types of medium to create my doodles. Doodling on different types of paper also gives the doodles extra something. Doodle Swap has been great fun.

  11. I've always loved the flow of the curved line, so leaves and teardrops come to mind. I also enjoy the depth that shading creates. I've recently tried my hand at watercolor and love to play with the different effects. Oh, and zendoodling! Love the black and white... the intricate patterns.

  12. I love impossible objects. So any penrose stair case, penrose triangle, blivet or necker cube gets a lot of doodle time from me. :-)

  15. my odd looking old dog "scamper". He has crazy dreadlock nappy, fur, one ear sticks up the other flops over, he has a beagle like body with out turned short basset paws. He makes a great cartoon character.

  16. I'm always doodling fishes, snakes and skulls... weird!

  17. I love doodling people with fun hair and silly clothes with strange faces. People I see with interesting features, clothes or positions inspire me to quickly pull out my sketchbook and doodle away.
