So far, I have over thirty doodles posted in this site. That’s pretty much a doodle biweekly. That may not sound much, still, I think that it is a good start. Besides, the doodles you see here are not all the doodles I’ve drawn throughout the year. There are dozens more. They did not get posted here for one reason or another. Yes, I was being selective – it is also not a secret that more of what I’ve produced are crappy and not worth posting (maybe some even slipped into this site?) but the point is I’ve been doodling a lot more than before I’ve started this website. I’m creating more. The colored pencils are getting shorter. The marker inks are being used up. And that’s a very good thing for me. That fulfills my goal. That satisfies.
I’ve noticed that my confidence level has improved remarkably. Even the little doodles I drew at my office white board all seemed to have gotten better. That, by itself, is a compounding difference – with this renewed confidence, the lines I draw are smoother, not crooked and hesitant. The better the lines, the better the doodle. The better the doodle, the more lost confidence is regained.
“Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes; how do you measure – measure a year?” Goes one of my favorite songs in the musical Rent. How? Well, you could measure in doodles, of course!
p.s. So what does the doodle that accompanies this post have got to do with anything? Positively nothing. Mrs. Onion just wants to show you her tiny blue handbag. She loves it for it matches the color of her eyes.
