Art Class

Today I read all about the importance of doodling. I have never really taken the time to doodle before. I tend to be a perfectionist, so doodling was something I avoided. So today I sat down and doodled... and it was such a weight lifted off. I was able to sketch fast and not worry about it not being perfect. My instructor says doodling is important because it warms up the hands and brain for drawing. When I first sat down today I sat there with a mental block for a few minutes. Slowly I started drawing an eye, and then shapes, and before I knew it I was thinking of different things to draw without any reference or pictures to draw them off of. I must say... The doodling technique works. After I finished doodling I moved right into another art project.
