Useful Doodling Materials and Tools

When I want to do a more "serious" doodle, there are certain doodling materials I like to have set up and ready to go.

1. A pencil. Any will do as long as it's nice and sharp.

2. Two Black sharpies. A Fine Tip and an Extra Fine Tip. I like to use both in a drawing to add texture. There are also some Scrapbooking pens out there that are really nice to use.

3. Paper (unless you're using a more creative median). Regular white copy paper is fine for those more relaxing/habit producing doodles. For my big projects, I like to use a big sheet of drawing paper that you can buy from any art supply store.

4. Misc. Materials. Anything that might assist in your doodling--Ruler, eraser, protractor, a glass (for those "perfect circles"). You'll be amazed at how many around-the-house items can help with your drawing.

5. If you don't want your paper to get bent or someone to keep bumping you as they get on and off the couch, you may have to fore-go the extreme relaxation doodling environment and sit at the dining room table or a desk. That way you have no worries about someone messing you up.
