Flashback to last Fall, when doodlebots started to make their appearance in a big way. .

I decided to do an Instagram Live this morning, to share my doodle process, and these doodlebugs appeared. So appropriate, as today marks the first day of the June Bug creative challenge inside the Creative Sandbox Community! 🖍
Totally not planned, I swear! My doodles are always improvisational. I have no plans or ideas going in about what I am going to create. I simply make a mark to “make the page unblank,” and then go from there. I had no idea that initial mark would morph into a creature with eyes and wings, and then a second such creature! I haven’t doodled creatures (except Doodlebot) in ages.
🖍
That’s part of the joy of my doodle practice for me: being surprised! I want to be surprised! That’s WHY I work improvisationally. If I’m *not* being surprised, it means I’ve fallen into a rut, and I’m probably feeling pretty bored. 🖍
I don’t always *like* what I create, it’s important to note. But that’s not the point. Whether I like it or not is not really important. I mean, of course I *want* to like it—we all want to be pleased by our creative work—but it matters less than if I enjoyed the process of creating it. THAT’S what’s most important. Ideally I’ll have both, of course, but I want my main focus to be on the PROCESS. (Creative Sandbox Way™ Guidepost #2: Think process, not product.)
