Look up neurographic drawing on youtube or TikTok. Drawing little repetitive patterns both calms and focuses me, and there’s no pressure β€˜cuz they’re just doodles. πŸ˜‰ I doodled a lot as a kid but only picked it up again a couple years ago, and now I doodle listening to podcasts or hanging out with J.

#Neurographic #drawing is an #abstract unconscious process where you randomly draw squiggly lines, round out the corners, and then fill in the shapes. Somehow this one turned out delightfully pink elephant shaped!

Thank you for everything; it’s so gorgeous. I’ve been buying prints from various artists recently but this is my first original! You’ve inspired meβ€” I want to learn how to paint like this. Doodling with a brush.

Loved it so much I just bought it over on Etsy. The more fantastical your style the more I relate to it!

The right one, for how it evokes the other-worldly sensibilities of the southwest.

I’ve been a bit obsessed with the 8 pointed #star lately, as it represents so many symbolic meanings across cultures.

Another #doodle #ink style :

Two female figures inspired by shadow work are doodled in colored markers. A wise older self wraps a younger self in a purple cloak covered in symbols of female strength and resilience against the backdrop of an orange moon.

#doodle drawn in #sketchbook with #ink and #coloredmarkers, inspired by #ShadowWork. A much older and wiser self wraps an innocent younger self in a purple cloak of love and protection, surrounded by symbols of growth and resilience.

Nice mando solo! Brought back a youthful memory of lying on a boat on Lake Arrowhead on a hot summer night, hearing enchanting mandolin music for the first time.

A little kid down the street has set out a cardboard box of clumsily painted rocks, right next to the sidewalk, with a hand lettered β€œTake a rock, Leave a rock” sign. 😎
