Doodle Art : 5 Things You Need to Doodle

In this post I will discuss about the material required to make some doodle art. Probably many of you already know about the doodle art. And some of you must have been a fan.




We believe that everyone has a creative spark and they has a soul of art, but they will vary depending on the their character. Doodling can be a way to help motivate and inspire your creativity. So If you want to make your first doodle, here are some materials / tools you need to get started.

5 Things You Need to Doodle

1. Sketch Book

Actually you does not have to doodle on a sketch or drawing book. You can do it on any media, you might want to do it on your bedroom wall or in a beverage packaging or on any supporting media. I personally would like to doodle on a sketch book, with consideration of neatness and ease of organizing all of the work that I have made.

2. Pencil

What is the use of a pencil in a doodle art? Pencils can be useful to make a preliminary sketch of doodle that has been drawn by your imagination. I would recommend you to use a HB grade pencil since it has a light intensity, then you are no hassles when erasing. It is also useful in minimizing the paper damage effect that occurs when you use the eraser. You may want to use a normal 2B pencil, but try to keep your scratches remain light, so it's easy when you are erasing.

3. Eraser

You'll need eraser to remove unnecessary outlines on your doodle work, or to soften/smooth edges.

4. Drawing Pen

Drawing pen can be useful to refine the initial sketch that you have created. You can use 0.2 and 0.1 or 0.5 and 0.8 point depending on your taste. I usually start with 0.2 and 0.8 point, 0.2 point for shading and create the three-dimensional impression (Providing the right perspective can make you doodle look attractive). While 0.8 point to sharpen sketch as I mentioned at the beginning.

5. Felt-tip Pen

Markers serve to thicken (contrast) the outer lines that exist in your doodle, so with the added effect of thick markers, you can create extra contrast to your doodle work.

Ok, now you have these:

Well, that's it. Now you're ready to doodle!

Doodle Art : Introduction

Maybe some of you already familiar with the term 'doodle'. A doodle is an unfocused drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes.

It's the easiest thing to do and easy on the common media, such as paper, pen and pencil. These actions are often referred to as doodling.

Popular kinds of doodles include cartoon versions of teachers or companions in a school, famous TV or comic characters, invented fictional beings, landscapes, geometric shapes and patterns, textures, banners with legends, and animations made by drawing a scene sequence in various pages of a book or notebook.

Doodle Art itself is a style of drawing by doodling, look abstract, there is that does not contain meaning, but also there are some significant, often resulting work does not have the correct shape but it looks unique and interesting.

A doodle works usually portray feelings of the author, it can be seen from the resulting scratches, sometimes slipped out unnoticed by our thoughts.

Doodle art is sometimes capable of reassuring its creator. The more the work is made with feeling, the more exciting work produced. It makes this kind of work is not just a mere drawing activity, but also has depth of meaning and style.

Doodle Art also has its own history. Have you heard about the cave painting? it's one of the oldest style of doodle art, long before anyone even knew the letters and writings, in which doodling as a tool to tell a story from generation to generation.

Now Doodle art is growing, its abstract and has unique characteristics make doodle fans increasing day by day. Even without realizing we are creating doodle works. Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by students daydreaming or losing interest during class. Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available.



Doodle art work and creativity is a means which is cheap and fun. It does not require special paper such as canvas, even doodles can be done on cigarette packs though. Everything is back to the artist in selecting equipment and doodling style that is comfortable for each individual.



Now doodle art style has been widely in use as one element in graphic design, you can see billboards for: mobile advertising, TV, etc. which often use these elements. By using elements of doodle art, the messages conveyed in the work seem more friendly, relaxed, and humane.
