Thank you for the tips to start drawing again. I like the idea of drawing repetitious patterns. Even doodling encourages hand eye coordination which seems to be my problem. My brain is unsure how to communicate with my hand, it hesitates. So to compensate, I noticed I'm drawing very fast, as if to bypass my conscious mind. The result is fairly interesting. I am able to capture the essence better but it's pretty messy and rough. Fifty years ago, I mainly drew with charcoal. I concentrated on where the shades were first then drew in the details last. Another good practice I like is to paint on a collage, emphasizing colors, and shapes to bring the piece together. Also to copy on paper with paint fabric designs, just as an exercise.

Yes, these are fabulous ways to draw and paint. Doodling is now considered an Art due to the fact it really is a stream of consciousness. I did a piece long ago, a large doodle piece and I was simply exhausted as it does work on the subconscious level. I love to hear your contemplating your drawing. I love the Doodling idea. Go for it!
