Doodle Thoughts

My Brain

The “doodle confetti” pattern I do with my classic doodles is the representation of my brain. The tiny fine pieces that make the whole, chaotically thrown into piles and piles of hard-to-distinguish pieces.

Abstract vs Realism

Abstract has been my main form of art for most of my art history. I have dabbled in realism through it but it wasn’t until relatively recently that I was able to bring my realism skill enough to enjoy drawing realism. I’ve been drawing realism for some time now.

I missed doing my doodle art and abstract pieces. I touch on abstract concepts in my Sketchbook 2, but the paper didn’t allow me to get as far as my doodles could go. So I finally came back to doodles in Doodle Anatomy, Doodlecillin, and my current doodle books, Doodle Bufonidae and Doodle Pipidae. I feel such a great connection to my doodles that I took for granted before.

I question the meaning of my art and why I create what I create. I have felt lost, believing myself to not have meaning in my art. But the abstract stuff is my meaningful art. The realism is just fun, pretty things I like to draw. But the abstract and doodle art is where my soul is. It’s the reflections of who I am. Abstract art communicates who I am.
