Hi there fellow doodlers!
Something amazing happened today, I finally broke the ice with my zendoodles. For the first time I had the sense that my left brain was not controlling or censoring my hand much.
This morning I did four zendoodles before getting out of bed, and I numbered them because I think it shows how the shift happened as I went along. I definitely felt it!


For #1, I drew the main lines, and then just filled in. Those first lines controlled the rest of the process, with little room for surprises along the way. It bored me a bit, and it looks uninteresting to me.
#2, I started in the middle of the square, and let it grow outwards, with a more scribbly sketchy style. Much less cotrolled process, and more interesting.
#3, I was totally relaxed and it felt like a really pure drawing.
#4, totally relaxed again but spent some more time exploring the shapes and lines.
I want to make doodles every morning. Writing morning pages doesn´t work for me, but doodling might be a good alternative!

P.S. Why are there Scientology ads all over this group? This is the Zentology cult.
