And let's doodle the stairs to climb this pedestal together. See you in the course. 2. Introduction of Doodling: Hello. Before starting out this amazing journey, first, let's learn what exactly is included and why the heck they want each one of the two factors. So, what exactly is the root node? Is this something that you do or have done in class during a lecture? Maybe you scribble your name in different fashions or made some abstract shapes. Some of you even meet funny figures resembling your professor. But at that time, just subconsciously. That is true. Drawing something subconsciously without any problems. And the beauty of goo lingers. It is supposed to be an expression of the inner cell. And in a way it represents what your mind. So when it is channelized and it brings rhythm to r. In other words, doodling and help you understand your thought to bring up the pace. Even research have shown that doodling has many benefits, such as visual. Which means seeing what's his mental picture? Thinking in pictures. Foundation for art. Art forms such as drawing and painting, takes place when you start giving purpose to our doodles. When he started refining my doodles, it becomes, in other words, boolean is a very fundamental and foundational in the art of creativity. People who do, do never short of ideas, improves. Concentration. Doodling engages multiple parts of your brain at the same time and helps you focus more by making the process and enhances memory. Shown that people who do the posting more information than people who don't. As it's just doodling helps in processing emotions better and goodly also stimulates parts of the brain which usually remains dominant, which can be really relaxing. And at the same time can give you some feeling. And I believe anything interesting. So now I think you have enough information about them. So see you then. 3. Lets Do Some Creative Exercises: Hello. So I know each one of you have a lot of surreal ideas. Anyone to communicate those ideas. But your hands feel stuck and you don't know how to start putting out your ideas. I totally understand. Getting Started can feel difficult. Others not. We just need to start with the right. Do you remember the time when you were learning to ride a bicycle? When you start it, you must have fallen many times. Although you must have been very conscious about pedaling. But still you find. But once you learn to ride it, now, one of the easiest thing you can do, you can just sit on any bicycling and start reading it right away. Even you can dilute it with your eyes closed part with your both hands folded. I think you've got what happened is initially when you were learning to write it. At that time, it was a conscious activity. But along the way, it became and subconscious activity. And now it's part of use. And similarly, doodling and exploding herself is just like a bicycle. With some exercises, we can start right? So in this lesson, we're going to do some simple yet very effective creative exercises. These exercises are great for getting started and will help you enter the amazing world of gardening. So get comfortable, relax, loosen up, and let's move to the first create and exercise. In this exercise, what we have to do is we have to take a blank sheet of paper like this NMR. Now the exercise is to fill it completely from top to bottom by just doing anything. I hope you got. So let's start. We can do anything from random letters, two random shapes. But I'm going to start by making zigzag kind of Pareto. You just make what you feel like. Just follow, just back-and-forth, shading kind of pattern, spiral. And it's no compulsion either to only make patterns. We can make random things like polka dots mixed with maybe a line, some zigzag, zigzag, zigzag kind of thing. Okay. Doodle, anything? Just final line. Don't you think this looks nice? So this is my version. Okay, So this was our first creative exercise. This exercise is good for warm-up and can help you lose them. Most importantly, it will make your hands. Dad's on the beautiful tunes. Now, let's move to the second creative exercise. But before they exercise, I want you to close your eyes and just follow my voice. Okay. Now, close your eyes and think of a car. Can you see your car? Can you hear a voice describing details about a car? Now? Just think of a white building. Just try to focus on things like how many windows are there? Now? Slowly. So you saw a car and a white building, odd herds. Voice, I think you did. That. My friend is a mental picture and your mind is like a camera. It captures picture of things we have seen and puts it inside our subconscious mind. And if you didn't saw or heard anything. So that's totally fine. Initially, it can be difficult to access different mental pictures, but this exercise will help you achieve that. So in this exercise, while doodling these images, don't focus much on how you doodle is going to look. Rather, try to see mental picture and whatever you see, just do it as we are just starting out. For some of you, mental picture can be blurry, but that's totally fine. And after seeing reference image, either see my version and then pause the video or just pause the video. Close your eyes and do. Okay, I think we are at it. So here is our first reference image. Now let me close my eyes. And next to it. So this is my version. I think it turned out pretty nice. I know during this exercise, you may have failed a temptation to open your eyes and see what exactly you are making. I do have that temptation is also just control that temptation and just close your eyes. And if you are finding it difficult than use some cloth or something like that to make a blindfold for your eyes. Okay, now let's move to the next reference image. Nice. I like it. So this is, I was telling you the truth. This exercise always makes me feel like the lags and very calm. Okay, now let's move to the last reference. Let's do this. So this is my version. It looks kind of cute. So this exercise is best for many reasons, such as enhancers, which will language skills enhances memory, calming, and grade foresee in the reflections of your thoughts. And trust me, these are these these are priceless artwork. Because they are true deflections of your thought. Okay, so now let's move to our last exercise. See, this isn't my hand with which I do. Andrew writes and stuff. And this is my week ahead. So in this exercise, we see some user. Okay, so let's get started. And here is our first problem. Don't focus much on the dock. It's gonna look bad or good. Just shy. Okay, so here is my doodle. So now let's move to the next problem. Here it is. No. Next move to our last time. Students. And done. So, how did it say noodles to TV to hack kind of a new experience? While doing so. You must have read the restricted which seed. That's the point of this exercise. Dominant parts of your green. Congratulations. You have successfully completed three very important creative exercises. These exercises, this can take to the point where you can just hold a motto and start doing right away. But to get there, you have to integrate these exercises into your daily routine. And for assignments, please be sure to share all of the doodles which you made during this. Again. Congratulations. And soon. 4. Doodle Library of Household objects : Hello and welcome. In this lesson, we're going to create our very own doodle leptin. So why do we need a doodle laboratory? See, once will make feudal of different objects, you will have a mental picture of that object as the dude. Next time when you are required to doodle object. This time, you don't have to see a reference image. Just try to recall it's mental picture and doodle that I know. Currently it all sounds difficult. But when you'll use your doodle laboratory for few times, then you don't even need to recall them. They'll come straight to you. So in this lesson, we will see some reference images and we'll try to make doodle versions of them. You can either follow me or just feel free to experiment. Keep in mind, it's no obligation for our doodles to look artistically. So let's start by doodling some household objects. I'll first object is just see the reference image and try making cup like that. Okay? It is a cup. I think it looks nice. So now let's move to our next reference image. Alarm clock. Here is my alarm clock. I think it looks good. So now let's move to the next step. So this is our television. So now let's move to the next reference. A sofa. So this is my sofa. This reminds me of show Friends. If you have seen the show Friends, then you may know this so far. Now, let's move to the next reference image, applying. And now let's move to the next a free. So this is a picture frame. Now, let's move to the next curtains. Let's move to the next reference image. The telephone. This is a telephone. Now, let's move to the second last rootedness. So this is address. Or you can also say magical carpet. Now, let's move to the last image. David. Congrats. Now you have successfully created your very first doodle. They're pretty awesome household objects. So now let me show you how you can use these doodles to create a scene by simply combining them. Okay, so we'll use these doodles and we'll make a combination, and we'll pharmacy. So as these are mostly oodles of household objects. So I'm going to make a living rooms. And I highly suggest you to play with different colors. Okay, so let's try to combine these doodles into a scene. So we have a TV. Let's just keep it as a sofa, a drug. So what we can do is we can put so far on the rug, just like this. Okay. And behind the sofa, we can put these curtains. Let me show you. So curtains and above that, a sofa. And under it. Let's put this aside. And after that, we can put this plan, the site, the sofa, and this alarm clock. Let's just see where we can put it. We can put this cup on the table or on the sofa handle. This frame will go on the wall. This will have on the table. So far. So let's try to form the whole scene. And I suggest you to use different colors for different elements to have separation between them. For reference, see the household duties, which we made in this lesson. So let's start with the curtains Moving next. Let's make the sofa on right, so far handle. We're going to put the cup. So let's put that. Okay. And on the one hand, the frame, Let's just make the table on this side. Okay. And on the table, we have a telephone. Let me just see the telephone doodle. How does it look? But they were on one side. I want this plant so fast. Let's make it. And below the sofa, I wanted hug. So let's make it. Okay. Now, let's find the telephone. And so here is our telephone. I wanted this telephone on this table. So let's just make it okay. So this is the living rooms formed using these household duties. We have used almost all the doodles in forming this living room scene. I think. We only missed this TV2. Other than that, we used every day. Just like this. You can create any C. First, create the elements, then combine them in a way. Okay? I hope you got the point. I hope you understood and enjoyed making this. So in this lesson, we made a doodle every n sin combining R2. And in upcoming lesson, we're going to make a doodle Aborigine for big outdoor objects. And for your assignment, may do the LD50. So light. Again. Congratulations, and see you in the next lesson. 5. Doodle of Outdoor Objects: Hello and welcome.

So see you in the next lesson. 6. Let Doodle Some quick Potraits: Hello. So far we have done some creative exercises and created a doodle library. In this lesson, we are going to make some quick portraits, will see some reference images. And we have to doodle that without putting any thoughts. So let me explain. For example, I showed you a picture of a dog. Just see the image and start dueling it right away. Don't worry about anything, whether it's gonna look bad, look different. Everything's okay. So why the heck I want you to do, do quickly. Once you see an image, your brain starts to observe details about it. And it also starts figuring out, it is difficult or easy for you to make. If during this reaction time your brain feels it is difficult, then it will start restricting yourself. We don't want that. That's why I wanted to start dueling, right? Once you have started doodling. Now, in this scenario, your brain will start supporting you. It will start figuring out mysteries. To accomplish that goal. During this process, just try to observe the portrait doodling pipeline of your brain. So what does it mean? It means by default, some people start creating portraits by doodling the forms first, then the eyes and other parts. There's the unique pipeline. You may have. Different pipeline for creating a portrait. So just I. Okay, we're ready. So let's see at first reference image. So let's go to just see the reference image and start doodling in whatever order you like. And don't put lot of thought on how it's going to look or how is it looking. Okay. Now let's make the news. Now let's make hills. And now let's move to the next student. And here is our second week voting. So now let's move to the next student. So if you are willing to become a caricature artist, portrait artist, this exercise is great for warm up. Just to tell a subject for few times. You will start seeing Portrait Gallery kitchen, right? So now let's move to our next step, which is good. And now here it is. I hope you enjoy. So now there's two. And this is our last week. So I'm gonna actually, we have created some quick portraits. This exercise have benefits such as enhances focus, drawing, memory, and observational skills. So be sure to practice this exercise and share your conversions, but I would love to see them. Again. Congratulations. See you soon. 7. Full Page Doodle: Hello and welcome. In this lesson, we are going to create a full-page doodle filled with different characters. But before diving right in, I want you to take you through the approach and thought processes behind creating a full piece today. So I'm going to break down the whole process into simple steps. One is to creating a guide, to follow that guide in creating a full page. But before that, let's start with the step 0, which is to decide which kind of doodles we want to fill the whole page. For example, in this case, we are going to fill the whole page character too. But definitely you can create full-page doodle filled with anything you can think of. So as we have already decided the kind of doodles. Now, Let's move to the step one, which is to create a reference guide. So what is it if it is a guide filled with different elements or doodles, which we can either combine or use directly to fill the page. In this case, it is safe to say a reference guide as character reference guide. For our character reference guide, we're going to create different character elements such as ice sheets, noses, and much more. So let's start building the character reference page. So for our first element, Let's start by creating different style of ice. You can just follow me, but definitely feel free to experiment. I'm just going to make different pairs of I. So he had at few ice. Now let's make a few different ears. So I'm just going to make a few different layers of year. Okay? Now, let's make some loses. Some mounts. Okay, and the last element, fishing. Draw any shape, whatever comes in your mind. Draw them. Can be square, triangle, soap, good. Hexagon, Beckman kind of shape maybe. Okay. So here are a few sheets. The next step, we're going to combine these elements to form various due to. And then we'll combine those doodles, will get a full page. Let me just show you an example. Let's take this set of eyes. These years. This nose, the mouth. And let's put together all selected elements. Pandas, Batman kind of shape. So let's do that. So let's start by drawing the eyes, linda, ears, nose, and last the block. So this is how we can combine different elements to form a doodle. So this is a character reference. So now let's move those second step where we're going to use the reference guide to fill the whole page. So let's do that. First. We'll use this reference guide to fill the whole page with shapes. Then we'll start creating eyes. And so don't worry, all these elements combined together will form an amazing dude. Without any further ado. Let's use this difference rain to fill the whole page using different shapes in different combinations. So this is our first shape. Let's make this shape behind that sheep. Now. The other. So I just do another sheep in front of the shape. Behind that. That's why I created that balloon kind of cheap, fast, then bad kind of shape. Fill the gaps using the shapes. So we just started from the bottom and we're just filling layer by layer. Then we'll start filling the gaps. And this is how we're going to move from bottom to top by filling the whole page with different shapes. I hope you understood. So I'm just going to fast-forward this bit. Three. Now, we have to fill the shape with character elements. We can just fill all the shapes with eyes first, then knows, and so on. But just to make things interesting, I am going to draw elements in very random. So for this shape first, create the mouth, then the nose, ears, and eyes. Okay, I hope you about it. So let's do the same with each shape. Three, three, 3333, extra blank spaces, the gaps. You can either leave it like that, but I'm just going to shade them. So congratulations. And this is very first full page too. Congratulations. We have created our very first, we'll paste to do. For your assignment. Create your own difference guide and a full-page. I'm looking forward to see what you have created. So be sure to share them with me. Again. Congratulations. And see you in the next week. 8.
