Technically speaking, doodling is drawing that is done while your mind is otherwise occupied… a kind of absent-minded sketching that has no particular plan or expected result. When we talk of doodling in papercraft however, we’re generally referring to the addition of pen work that has a decorative effect.
Doodling is a great way to extend the use of stamped or printed images. You can add certain elements to a picture to make it suitable for occasions for which it wasn’t originally designed. For instance, in the image below, simple cat pictures were adorned with doodled elements that have a Christmas theme, making them usable on holiday cards and layouts. You can also doodle borders [TUTORIAL], embellish sentiments or even design your own little characters with a few strokes of the pen.
This is a cool idea and not something I thought of. I always think of doodling as just sqiggly lines. I learn a lot from your site, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThey look so cute all tangled up!
ReplyDeleteI tried some doodling on my "L" day entry. It was fun. It's good for me to just relax a bit and not have to have everything exact. I may try some more. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove your colouring of these kitties, will have to try this.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I'm practicing doodling in black and white in an art journal. Never thought of doodling with digis. Will try it once. Love your colouring of the fab cats!

ReplyDeleteThat is a whole new perspective on doodling as I only thought it was just some simple additions here and there on a card edge. But your idea changes the whole look of the kitties.
