As part of my effort to try to draw something every day in my composition notebook, I combined a few exercises into one.
I divided my page into 4 frames. I looked at children's drawings online and drew similar animals with a non-photo blue pencil using my non-dominant hand. I used a brush tip marker to ink them. Next I used a fine tip marker to draw some type of background for each animal.
Then I grabbed 6 colored pencils with my eyes closed and proceeded to color the entire page.
I just love the bright and happy feeling this page gives me!

| 108 doodled objects |
I saw an exercise posted somewhere about drawing 100 objects as a "stream of consciousness", taking about 5 seconds for each and moving on to the next. So, I grabbed my non-photo blue pencil and my composition notebook & gave it a whirl.
It took me 3 sittings to fill the page ... but I did draw the objects very quickly in pencil. I spent a little more time inking them in with my pen. I (of course) went "blank" a few times and looked around for ideas.
I do see a "stream of consciousness" pattern in the drawings and I can see where I got stuck (between the toast and the butterfly, for example).
I enjoyed the exercise & it's fun to see all the little doodles in my notebook.
