Doodling for Beginners is an update to 7 Tips for Doodling for Beginners. Recently, I took a trip to Bishop Museum in Honolulu, HI. There was a small exhibit of a doodle artist, Jasper Wong. But the piece de resistance was the white car outside covered with Sharpie doodles from bumper to bumper.

The thing about doodling is that even though works like this car make it seem like you need to be an expert to doodle, you really don’t. Anyone can doodle. We all do it. Usually fun, whimsical little drawings that fill the margins of a notebook during a lecture or meeting, No special training needed. But if you feel like you need some pointers, I’ve attached the 7 Tips post here.

7 Tips for Doodling for Beginners

Doodling for beginners. You might be thinking, “Isn’t all doodling a beginner thing?” Unfortunately, I think most people think of doodling as a type of nonsense art for people who can’t draw. I’ll admit that I was probably part of that crowd. Or maybe at the very least, I thought it was just silly little drawings that students or employees did when they should have been paying attention to the lesson or meeting taking place.
