I've always used to come across the word 'doodle' but it never appeared to me that it was a form of art until I actually searched what it looks like. It's a combination of simple drawings made with a black pen and not even necessarily bearing a certain meaning. The simplicity and freedom of choice in this drawing form instantly made me want to try it out myself as I've always been interested in drawing with only a black pen.
I'll be honest, it looks much easier that it actually is. It was extremely hard for me to draw without a pencil sketch as I'm used to perfecting the drawing with a pencil and eraser and only then outlining with something permanent. So, doodling was definitely a totally new experience for me but I truly enjoyed it. To ease my way into the new art form I firstly chose to draw space-related doodles which was quite simple as it was only a combination of circles and lines (also dots). I was very proud with the end and decided to try doodling something else. Well, my choice of plants in a pot was not the best because it turned out I need much more practice in drawing realistic or at least interesting and not simply basic plants. I ended up drawing a few plants and moving on to cactuses which didn't leave me satisfied with the result as well. Then I wanted to make a compilation of flowers, different leaves and branches but this went even worse... At this point I gave up and decided to come back to doodling another day. The beginning was promising, but unfortunately, I need much more practice than I thought I did. Overall, I enjoyed making doodles as you can draw whatever you like and there's no need in colouring your pictures (I hate matching colours...).
