25 most creative examples of doodle art
Regardless of any advancement in technology, pen and paper will always be the number once choice for any budding artist or illustrator. It is with the these pencil sketches that we create great designs. So, what exactly makes a doodle so fascinating even though it is claimed to be one of the most unproductive ways of spending time. Maybe a gross understatement, but once you look at these creative doodles, you will know what I’m talking about.
A doodle is a type of sketch, an unfocused drawing made while a person’s attention is otherwise occupied elsewhere. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes. Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by students daydreaming or losing interest during class. Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available.
Popular kinds of doodles include cartoon versions of teachers or companions in a school, famous TV or comic characters, invented fictional beings, landscapes, geometric shapes, textures, banners with legends, and animations made by drawing a scene sequence in various pages of a book or notebook.

In this article, I have showcased some of the coolest doodle art found on the web. Some of them will just blow you away. Also, at the end of the article, I have given links to some really useful resources and articles which will definitely be of interest to you. So, Enjoy the journey.
One of the most incredible example of Doodle Art is the Ulam Spiral. Stanislaw Ulam, the mathematician discovered the Ulam spiral while doodling during an academic conference. You might wonder what is that, which is of particular importance in this strange doodle. Well, you can read the interesting story here.

I am not sure about professional websites specifically made to buy/sell doodles; however, as an artist, you can try Deviantart.com and other stock photography sites to sell your work. If I find anything, I’ll be sure to hit you up with the information. Thanks
The best ideas for doodling come into my mind when I’m attending boring lectures :D
However, I think I should doodle even more I guess.. I’ve seen it enhances creativity and makes us better at sketching.
Thanks for the inspirational post!
Absolutely love the blue pen work!! I think that has to be the best one on this fabulous list!! Well done!!

These are amazing! Some of them must have taken hours. Just think of what we could create if we were able to dedicate just some of our human doodle passion to our work lives. Then again, doodling wouldn’t be what it is. Thanks so much for sharing!
