After 3 days at a @groveconsultants graphic facilitation workshop with the fabulous @malgosiakostecka, I am inspired and motivated to practice with my #neulandmarkers every day! Lettering, drawing, listening, layout—*something*. Even just a minute at a flip chart is better than nothing! And there’s never a shortage of things to improve on. Arrows and boxes are hard, for example (straight lines and symmetry: NOT my strong suits!) But these faces are so fun to draw! They’re just a U, an L or w for a nose, and dots or upside-down u’s for eyes, c’s for ears, add a neck, mouth, and some squiggles for hair, and voilá! A happy person!

I can’t wait to take another workshop with Malgosia! If all the Grove trainings are as good as this one, I’ll probably take them all eventually. Off the chain! 👍👍👍👍👍

Today’s doodle turned into an exploration of what 8 repeating (almost) parallel lines will do. .

A teeny-tiny doodle to start the day. A caterpillar and a tiny upside-down critter showed up in this one.

You never know what will appear in an improvisational morning doodle! 😊

Have you listened to Work Life by @adamgrant? I am LOVING this podcast! It’s fantastic! A great listen while doodling. 😊

Often I hate a doodle at first. My gremlins are convinced that not only does the doodle suck, but I am a terrible excuse for an artist! If I just keep at it, though, usually I find myself warming to it over time, and even quite liking it by the time I finish. We just have to keep going! Don’t let the gremlins win! 🖍
You can watch me draw this entire doodle as I share my entire thought process in a live Doodlecam in my IGTV channel! Check it out and let me know your thoughts. .
