What
is a doodle?

nor as handwriting. A doodle is a free hand drawing, reflecting the thoughts,
desires and ambitions of the maker. The study of doodling and other graphic endeavours

Doodles can take just about any form. It can be a cluster of lines, blobs or
dots, cartoons, circles, flowers, faces, indecipherable strokes, etc. A doodle
is an abstract extension of handwriting. It is pictorial and has visual appeal.

out interpretation. Let us take a peek at what this science has to offer.
