I started an Instagram challenge with some friends to #DoodleEveryDayInAugust (which you should totally come do with us)
A lot of times I doodle an animal with a friendly greeting:
I know, totally shocking to learn that friendly animal doodles help me process my world, but I really think my day goes better when I include the Good Morning doodle into my startup routine instead of, say, leaving my daily drawing to the last thing I manage to get to at night. I’m also finding committing to pen without sketching is freeing me up and I’m coming out with better ideas. In pencil, I noodle around and draw a lot of circles and feel like I don’t know how to draw and am the least creative person ever to live. (to be fair, in pen I draw a lot of octopuses, so I don’t know how creative that necessarily is. But at least it’s a thing as opposed to a bunch of purposeless marks)

What do you doodle when you do?
