Summer Doodling: Micro Doodles Are Amazing For Those With Patience
I’m not exactly sure when my daughter started making micro doodles, but as you can see she has become quite accomplished at the art of very tiny doodling! Originally she started making patterns like this using post-it notes, and now she has graduated to filling an entire 11″ x 14″ journal page, wow! I love the idea of little phrases amidst the doodles, and I’m thinking that she certainly has a future in pattern design, among other things! Want to make something like this yourself, or encourage a teenager in your life to doodle away? Lets get started……
You’ll Need:
- a micron pen, or a very fine pen of any kind
- a bit of doodling experience
- lots of patience
How To:
- First practice making geometric doodles, and get used to just connecting shapes and lines. Take a look at the closeup photo below. Ah yes, and start small before attempting to fill a whole page.
- Maybe you’d like to develop your own doodle language with a bunch of little shapes and combinations of shapes that you can use to create something large without having to re-invent yourself. And actually some repetition is good for something like this.
- Go for it!
And if by chance it turns out that micro doodling isn’t for you, check out my post showing much simpler doodles using a white gel pen on black paper. Or give both techniques a try, they do look great together.
