These same shapes (rectangles, squares, ovals, circles, lines, and dots) will help create a strong foundation for all of your doodles. Perhaps you see a smooth, rectangular TV, a cloudy, oval-shaped door knob, or the smooth curve at the top of your couch. When looking for the perfect idea, start off by looking for shapes around you. Inspiration can come from absolutely anywhere-from a remote, lush rainforest to the room you’re sitting in right now. There are so many interesting and fun doodle ideas out there that the hardest part of doodling is just finding some time alone with a pen and paper. But, doodles are their own little works of art, worthy of even the greatest artists. Some might consider doodles to be drawings only made for scrap paper or the edge of your notebook during a boring lecture.

A quick google search will reveal scribbled self-portraits, crabbed cartoons, and inked illustrations by the likes of Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, and Georgia O’Keefe. Even the most renowned artists love a good doodle.
