How to Doodle Energy

Step 1

drawing energy

If someone asked you to doodle a representation of ENERGY, what would you draw? How about a battery. Begin by drawing an elongated rectangle in the middle of your page. Notice how the rectangle is on a 45-degree angle. Notice also how the ends of this rectangle are slightly curved.

Step 2

draw energy

At the two ends of this rectangle, use an arc shape on the bottom end, and a rectangle shape on the top end. This will become the ends of our battery doodle.

Step 3

doodling energy

To show that the battery is powered up, let’s doodle a Z in the middle. But let’s make this Z look somewhat like a lightning bolt. Notice how the lightning bolt is a combination of two Z’s that are fused together. Notice also the angle of this Z.

Step 4

To show that our battery is full of energy, let’s add v-shaped lines around the center. This gives us the impression that the battery is charged up and ready to get to work. 🙂

Step 5

How to Doodle Encouragement

Step 1

drawing encouragement

If someone asked you to doodle the word “encouragement”, what would you draw? How about a cheerleader. Begin your cheerleader doodle by drawing an arc shape and combining it with an upside-down v-shape. This will become the head of your cheerleader.

Step 2

how to doodle an encouragement 02

Let’s now doodle the hair of our cheerleader. Out cheerleader will be female, so we will use long curved lines around the head for the hair. Notice how the lines are symmetrical on either side of the head. Notice also how the bottom section of the hair finishes in a v-shape.

Step 3

doodling encouragement

For the arms of our cheerleader, use slightly curved lines that stretch upwards. Notice how the arms on both sides of the body are relatively the same length and size. For this doodle, we are trying to keep things as symmetrical as possible.

Step 4

Time now to doodle the pom poms. To draw these pom poms, use cloud shapes. Pretend as though you are drawing a cloud at the end of each arm. Notice how there is also a second cloud at the back of the first cloud on each side. Notice also how the clouds almost mirror one another. This doesn’t need to be perfect. Just do the best you can. 🙂

Step 5

How to Doodle an Elevator

Step 1

drawing an elevator

To doodle an elevator, begin by drawing a rectangle in the middle of your page. Now, split that rectangle into two parts by drawing a line through the middle of the rectangle. This now gives you two upright rectangles.

Step 2

draw an elevator

Around the two rectangles, you drew in step 1, doodle another rectangle. Notice the spacing between this rectangle and the original two rectangles. You want to make sure the spacing isn’t too large. These rectangles now become our elevator doors.

Step 3

doodling an elevator

At the moment our elevator doodle still doesn’t quite look like an elevator. We will, therefore, need to add some more details. For this step, doodle a small rectangle above your elevator doors. Then on the right, doodle an upright triangle, and an upside-down triangle. Then near the bottom, draw two lines for the floor on either side of our elevator doors.

Step 4

doodle an elevator

This is now starting to look like an elevator. Let’s, however, add a few numbers to the top rectangle. Add the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. These are the floor numbers for our elevator.

Step 5

How to Doodle an Election

Step 1

drawing an election

If someone asked you to doodle an ELECTION, what would you draw? How about a ballot box. To begin your election ballot box doodle, draw an upright rectangle in the middle of your page.

Step 2

Now, below this rectangle, doodle a slim vertical rectangle. Notice how the rectangle we drew in step 1 overlaps our second rectangle. Therefore, this second rectangle is partially hidden behind our first rectangle drawing.

Step 3

Let’s now create a border around our two rectangles. Use five lines to draw this border. Notice how this border surrounds the two rectangles on the bottom, left, and right, but goes behind the upright rectangle on the topside. Notice also the angles of the lines. This will become the top of your ballot box.

Step 4

How to Doodle an Earthquake

Step 1

drawing an earthquake

If someone asked you to doodle an earthquake, what would you draw? How about a shaking building with a few finer details. 🙂 Begin your doodle by drawing a rectangle that’s missing its bottom side in the middle of your page. This shape will eventually become your building.

Step 2

How to Doodle Debt

Step 1

drawing debt

If someone asked you to represent the idea of “debt” within a doodle, what would you draw? How about a credit card attached to a ball and chain. To begin your doodle, draw a rectangle in the middle of your page. This rectangle will represent your credit card.

Step 2

Let’s now make the rectangle look more like a credit card by adding some details. Use straight and curved lines for this purpose. Also, draw some stars for the numbers. And for dramatic effect, you can also add your signature. 😉

Step 3

doodling debt

To draw the end of the chain, use a couple of arc shapes. Notice how the arc shapes wrap around the credit card. Part of the arc shape is in front of the credit card, and part of it is behind. This gives the impression that it is attached or passing through the credit card.

Step 4

Let’s now doodle some bones around the skull. Let’s make it look like these bones are at the back of our skull or look like they are coming out of our skull head. To draw these bones use a combination of straight lines and arc shapes. Notice how the ends of the bones kind of look like love hearts. Notice also how the bones on either side of the head mirror each other. We’re not aiming for perfection and perfect alignment here. But, more or less, try and mirror the bones on the left and the right of your skull head.

Step 5

how to doodle danger

Add the finishing touches to your skull head by giving it some color. And there you have it. We now have a symbol we can use when we want to doodle the idea of “danger”.
