Doodles I draw to keep my hands occupied while I listen to people talk.
Porcupine China Guy
I’ve found that doodling really helps my concentration. If I’m just listening to the speaker, but my hands and eyes aren’t busy, I get bored quickly and my mind wanders off. However, I’ve found that when I doodle, I keep the rest of my brain occupied while I listen.
This one is called “Porcupine China Guy” because the texture makes me think of porcupines, it’s shaped kinda like China, and the round shape on top makes it look like a beefy guy with a little round head.
It was drawn with a Pilot G-2 07 black gel pen on photocopy paper.
Shaded Moons
I find it very hard to keep my hands still when I’m listening to someone speak. I’m always playing with something — my watch, my cell phone, or whatever happens to be lying around. Sometimes, I doodle. A week and a half ago, I drew a nice little doodle during my Perspectives course. I present it here for your enjoyment. It was composed with a #2 Office Works 0.7-mm mechanical pencil on photocopy paper of unknown weight and brightness. The actual drawing is just under 2 in. × 2 in. I call it “Shaded Moons.” (You can stop snickering.)
