Inspiration for doodle patterns

This art form will addict you to seeing patterns around you. Most of the students in my workshops return after the first session amazed at the number of patterns they see everywhere. Look around you right now and find a few. Look at texture lines, shapes on objects, and fabrics, and shapes in nature. Copy them onto paper or note cards to refer to later. As I said, once you start, you will find this process ongoing and you will begin to see your world in a different perspective. Welcome to a doodler’s mind set!
Did you know that the brain’s first priority in learning is to find patterns it can compare to ones it already knows? That’s why this exercise is very acceptable to your brain when it seems idle and bored. You brain feels right at home and relaxed when you let it look for patterns. So this whole process can be calming and relaxing. Try it and give us some feed back.
