SERIOUS fun for doodlers…

I had the BEST day today. No study. Paper is submitted. Semester is FINISHED. Why do people put themselves through that, I wonder, and how on EARTH do they manage a full time study load? I swear, if I don’t get a better mark this time, after studing obsessively day and night for weeks on end … to the point of DREAMING of problems with the Mad Max narrative … I’ll … don’t know what. Can’t think that far yet. Now I can read Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” just for fun. Ha!

I spent the day reading … a NOVEL … and drawing, or doodling. Check this out: zentangles.com. SERIOUS fun for doodlers. SERIOUS doodling. ***** drooling*****. Here’s an example (one I did today):

Extreme doodling!

Best done with a good quality pigment liner, and shading with lead pencil. It looks so much better in my art journal, of course. Now I’m thinking it would look really good with watercolours on top. Looks like I have a brand new obsession.

There is no right or wrong with zentangling. There is no up or down. Doing one a day would be a great thing to get the creative juices ‘untangled’!
