The Elevated Side of Doodle Art and Patterns from Sandrine Pelissier
Doodling All Grown Up Doodling is fun and non-intimidating. It is something we can all do — and likely have done at some point in our lives. In a way doodle art encompasses all I think making art should be: enjoyable even if it can take a lot of time and effort.

Take a Step Back and Let Your Subconscious Do the Drawing
No Story Concept, No Problem Many times we start with a big idea or story we want to tell in our art, but why not take the opposite approach and start with the drawing — without a developed concept in mind? This way, you leave some part of your piece to chance, and then look at what this drawing could mean for you it unfolds. Let’s give it a try! And there are even more creative, accessible and fun ways of going about drawing as well as painting and mixed media.
How to Have Fun and Embrace Imperfections in Your Drawings
If I had to pick a battle in the art world, I would choose to fight for giving priority to self-expression and meaning over technical skills. What I mean by this is that I am not easily moved by perfection. I admire the skills it takes to master any medium but it does not get my juices flowing.
