How often do you doodle? What do your doodles usually look like?

Joanne's answer:
I'm not a very good artist, so I don't doodle very often....pretty much only in meetings or in class. Doodles usually consist of faces, flowers, sometimes Christmas trees, and sometimes shapes where I will proceed to fill in the shapes with polka dots and lines. Sometimes I make hearts and block letters and stuff like that. Actually funny story, one time I was on a 4 hour conference call and I was mindlessly doodling and I wrote my name out as "Mrs. Joanne [fill in the name of the guy I was into at the time]". Later that night, said guy came to visit me at my office and he saw my doodle (I had forgotten all about it by then) and I just about died of embarrassment!!!

Joanne' FAVORITE answer:
When I doodle, I check my hotmail account and see if I got QOTD from JoJo. It happens during lunchtime and onward, like 3 times a day until I confirm that there isn't one for the day.

And the other answers!

1. My doodles are usually flowers and swiggly lines that intersect. The flowers look like something from kindergarten and the swiggly lines are incomprehensible. Sometimes I also try to do block letters, and I add shading when I want to be really sophisticated.:)

2. Rarely, because they look like a mess most of the time.

3. I don't.

4. well I regularly draw with [my daughter] (the near-2 year oldwho loves to color) so its pretty much daily...sometimes in washable markers and sometimes withcrayons... Usually its something swirly, but we often draw triangles or squares or kites or trees or mickeymouses or ice cream cones or kittys or birds orbaseballs or wedges of cheese or hippos or......

5. So, I doodle every time I'm in a boring meeting. Unfortunately, boring meetings happen way too often. My doodles get more violent the more bored I am. For example, I'm I'm just a little bored, my doodles willbe hearts or moons or lucky stars. If I'm bored, my doodles take the form of symmetrical lines connecting lines on the paper or coloring in every circle in aprinted text. When I'm REALLY bored, they take theform of skulls and crossbones or knives with blood on them. Weird, huh? You should see my notes from Bob's stats classes. Whoa! I could be committed.

6. All the time, and boobs. nothing but boobs. sometime the boobs are smiling, and sometimes they are playing checkers, but mostly just boobs being boobs...

7. Constantly doodling while at work…….martians!

8. Rarely ever. Mosaic looking.

9. My doodles are either usually some sort of mandala thingee where I start with some random shape in the middle then work outward. Either that, or female profiles.

10. I used to doodle in college a lot. In class. They were very swoopy, viney doodles I thought could turn into real art. I even got one tattooed on my back. Something I regretted within about 6 months. Very embarassing...

11. I don't doodle.

12. I rarely doodle, and am more prone to draw facial hair on pictures in magazines than to just free draw. But, when I do, it goes one of two ways: spirals or rudimentary (but somehow creepy-looking) trees.

13. I doodle frequently and poorly. Generally they are geometric oddities which start off as simple shapes or spirals before getting divided and sub-divided until they are more line than space. Or sometimes they start off as letters or Chinese characters that get ossified into strange conglomerations of curves and angles.

14. I don't doodle much any more. I don't have time. But when I did, I would make triangles and connect them together. I have no idea why that is what my doodling would be but there you have it.

14. Hooray! And, you started me off with an easy one - I never doodle at any time. I am not a doodler.

15. I'd say I doodle about once a week, maybe less. I pretty much only doodle during research meetings while biting my lip, trying desperately not to fall asleep.
