How to Doodle a Fridge

Step 1

Begin by doodling a square in the middle of your page. Under this square doodle an upright rectangle. Make sure that the width of the rectangle matches the width of the square.

Step 2

Add a third dimension to your doodle using carefully positioned angled lines. Pay particular attention to the length of each line and be sure to keep your angles consistent. Finally, join each of these lines up to close the shape.

Step 3

Add handles to your fridge doodle using thin upright horizontal rectangles. Now, around your original shape (rectangle and square) you created in step 1 of your doodle, draw a line on top and on the right side of this shape. Pay particular attention to make sure that the spacing between the lines is consistent and even.

Step 4

Add some shading to your doodle using evenly spaced lines that vary in length from top to bottom.

Step 5

The final step is to give your doodles some personality and character using color. Use either different shades of the same color, or alternatively, you can use complementary colors.

How to Doodle a Desk

Step 1

Begin by doodling a straight horizontal line in the middle of the page. Right beneath this line, doodle another horizontal line. Keep the spacing between the two lines even and join them up at the ends. Above this, doodle another horizontal line that is a little shorter. Now connect this line to the original lines below it to close the shape.

Step 2

On the right side of your doodle, draw an upright rectangle. Divide this rectangle into three sections using two horizontal lines, then doodle three small rectangles within each of the three larger rectangles. Now, on the right side, doodle a couple of straight vertical lines that match the length of the rectangle you doodled on the left. Join these lines up on the bottom to close the shape.

Step 3

To give the desk a 3-dimensional look and feel, doodle a couple of vertical lines extending from the top of the table. However, make sure that these lines are a little shorter than the other vertical lines you doodled in the previous step. Now connect these two vertical lines to the draws and leg of the table.

Step 4

Add some shading to your table by using carefully positioned lines on the bottom inside panel and the top of the table. You can, of course, play around with the size and positioning of the lines as well as the spacing between each line.

Step 5

The final touch is to add a splash of color to your doodle. Use either various shades of the same color, or alternatively, you can use complementary colors that will give your doodle some vibrancy and life.

How to Doodle a Book

Step 1

Begin by doodling an angled rectangle in the middle of the page. Angle the vertical lines slightly toward the right. Make sure to keep the spacing between the horizontal and vertical lines even. The angles of the lines opposite each other must match. This will become the top cover of the book you are doodling.

Step 2

Next, doodle the bottom cover of the book. Make sure that all lines are drawn at the same angle so that the spacing between the top and bottom covers of the book are even. Finally, doodle an arc that connects the top cover to the bottom cover. This will represent the pages of the book.

Step 3

Doodle a rectangle on the top part of the front cover of the book. This is normally where the book title goes. Next, doodle several more straight and angled lines between the two covers of the book. These lines will represent the pages of the book.

Step 4

Add the final touches to your doodle using straight and angled lines to give your book added depth. Use lines also to show the separation of pages between the front and back covers of the book.

Step 5

The final step is to add some color to your doodle. Use complementary colors or different shades of the same color. Feel free to experiment with the use of colors. Color will give your doodle added personality and character.

How to Doodle a Commode

Step 1

Begin by doodling an up upright rectangle in the middle of the page.

Step 2

Within this upright rectangle, doodle four additional smaller rectangles that will represent four draws. Add a dot to the middle of each of the small rectangles to represent the handles of each draw.

Step 3

Add a third dimension to your doodle by drawing the top and side of the commode. Doodle these lines on a 45-degree angle, then join them up using lines to close the shape. Now, on the bottom of the commode, doodle four small upright rectangles that will represent the legs of the commode.

Step 4

Add some shading to your doodle using straight lines. Shading using lines in this way is very simple. It also gives 3-dimensional objects more depth.

Step 5

The final step is to add some color. No strict rules here. You can either use different shades of the same color or use complementary colors. Color gives your doodle personality and character.

How to Doodle a Bookshelf

Step 1

Begin by doodling an upright rectangle in the middle of the page. Next, doodle a slightly larger rectangle around the edges of the original rectangle. Be sure to keep spacing consistent between the two rectangles.

Step 2

Next, doodle the shelving area and draws. Use straight lines for this purpose paying particular attention to keep the lines straight and the spacing between each line consistent. You can, of course, be creative here and create variations of the shelving area. Finish up by adding two small upright rectangles on the base of the bookshelf. These rectangles will represent the legs of the bookshelf.

Step 3

Time now to add some items to your bookshelf. Again, use your imagination here by doodling various books and other items that you might typically find on a bookshelf. To doodle books use straight lines. No need to complicate them by adding a third dimension. Just keep it simple and straightforward. Also, don’t forget to use lines and circles that represent the handles of each draw.

Step 4

Add a third dimension to your bookshelf by doodling the top and side panels of the bookshelf. Use straight lines and try keeping consistent angles. Also, don’t forget to include shaded areas using straight lines.

Step 5

The final step is to add some color to your bookshelf. Use either complementary colors or different shades of the same color. Color will give your doodle personality and character.

How to Doodle a Bed

Step 1

Begin by doodling the front bed frame. Use straight lines using 90-degree angles to doodle the frame and legs of the bed.

Step 2

Next, doodle the sheets and mattress by drawing two straight vertical lines extending from the front of the bed frame. Then join those two lines together using a horizontal line that acts like a separator.

Step 3

Doodle a couple of squares for the pillows, and then draw a rectangle behind these pillows that represents the back of the bed frame. Because the back bed frame is behind the two pillows, be sure that when you join up the bed frame lines that they are hidden behind the two pillows.

Step 4

Add some depth to your bed using a simple shading method. Shade using straight lines. On the pillows use lines that are angled at 45-degrees. On the sheets and on the front bed frame, use straight horizontal lines.

Step 5

The final step is to add some color to your doodle. Consider using various shades of the same color or complementary colors that give your doodle some personality and character. 🙂

How to Doodle a Clock

Step 1

Begin by doodling a square in the middle of the page. Now doodle a slightly larger square around the smaller square while making sure that the spacing between the two squares is even on all four sides.

Step 2

Next, give your clock a pair of legs. Use simple straight lines that angle outwards and form a rectangle. Alternatively, you can use half-circles or squares for the legs. Above the head of the clock, mirror the base by doodling to antennae extending outwards. Kind of like giving your clock a pair of horns. On top of these horns doodle two half moon circles to represent that bells of the alarm clock.

Step 3

Now, spend a little time adding dials to your clock. You can, of course, create a digital or analog dial. Or, use your imagination to create something even more creative and out of this world. 🙂 Don’t forget to also add a couple of arcs on either side of the horns. These arcs will draw the horns out of the head of your alarm clock when we add the third dimension.

Step 4

Add a third dimension to your alarm clock by doodling lines that extend out and toward the back on a 45-degree angle. Then connect those lines together to close the shape. And finally, add some final touches using lines to shade the bells and the bottom half your alarm clock. Shading your clock in this way will add some depth to your doodle.

Step 5

Having completed your doodle of a clock, take a moment to give it some color. Using various shades of color will give your doodle character and life.

How to Doodle a Wardrobe

Step 1

Doodle a large rectangle in portrait format, then doodle an upside down ‘T’ to divide the wardrobe into three sections.

Step 2

Doodle two circles that will represent handles in the middle on either side of the central line. Now doodle two rectangles to represent the draws in the bottom section. Finally, add lines to represent the handles for each draw.

Step 3

Add a third dimension to your wardrobe by doodling lines at a 45-degree angle that extend out toward the right. Now join those lines together to close the shape.

Step 4

The final step is to use lines for shading purposes to give your wardrobe some character and depth. On the front section of the wardrobe, doodle lines angling 45-degrees to the left. Be sure to space them apart equally showing long lines at the top and progressively shorter lines toward the bottom. On the bottom right section of the wardrobe, doodle lines to match the angle of the box. There are no fixed rules when it comes to shading. Experiment to see what type of shading works best for your doodle.

Step 5

You can, of course, also add some color to give your doodle a bit of life and vibrancy. In this example, two shades of brown have been used that add further depth to your doodle.
