The Art of Doodling

Description

Explore your own style and share it with others

Doodling is simple, easy and fun. All it takes is practice! Like everything else in life, practice is key to success. While course will help you explore your own style, practice will fine tune it. When doodling becomes a constant habit, creativity unfolds naturally and helps you remember everything in a visual form. This includes all your school subjects as well!

Keeping a sketchbook is important. If you don’t have one, just use paper and file it all together. You will be able to track your progress as well!

In this course, Anina shows you the process of transforming imagination into art. She helps you loosen up by doing some warm up exercises, to develop your imagination, to create your own characters and tell a story about them!

Start by getting to know Anina, your doodle buddy. Learn how to get comfortable with a blank page and the joy of converting what is on your mind to paper. ‘You can’ is the motto here. Everyone Can! So just let loose and get prepared to get messy!

Keep sketch book or lots of paper ready to started! Best is to use pencil, but you can also use pens, sharpies, crayons and other simple and widely available materials.

Use all the resources at your disposal to warm up! Warm up is most crucial to this course. So take your time and do this important activity. Once you are sufficiently warmed up, we will work on expressions in the most easiest way possible. The next step will be to start building a character on any shape you can think of! We will make some really fun doodles in this section.

Finally, create your own characters! Anina will help you understand the process of creating your own character and how to make it come alive. Use all these lessons learnt to make your own story! And guess what, once you submit your final project, you will also get feedback on it.

What is this course’s project?

You will complete this course with a sketchbook / papers filled with exercises, expressions, characters and a final story piece that will incorporate all that you have learned along the way.

Filling up papers / sketch book with your doodles should be an ongoing activity and you can share some of your doodles with us at www.thetalkingcanvas.com/designlab to see it come alive on some of our products. Isn’t that an added motivation? Imagine your art going far and wide!
