How to Doodle Noise

Step 1

drawing noiseIf someone asked you to visualize NOISE or SOUND, what would you draw? How about a megaphone? To begin drawing your megaphone, draw three lines. One short vertical line, and two longer lines that are angled at 45-degrees. One of the lines is angled slightly upward, while the other slightly downward.

Step 2

draw noise

We now need to give our megaphone a cone shape. To draw this cone shape, all you need to do is combine two arc shapes together in the gap between the two long lines you drew in the first step. Draw one arc shape connecting the two lines that bends toward the left, and the other arc shape the bends toward the right.

Step 3

doodling noise

Add some more details to your megaphone using a combination of arc shapes and straight lines. Notice how each of these shapes and lines are positioned within and around the megaphone’s body.

Step 4

doodle noise

To highlight the fact that there is SOUND or NOISE coming from our megaphone, let’s doodle several more arc shapes extending outward from our megaphone. Notice how the arc shape that is closest to the megaphone is the smallest. Notice also how these arc shapes get considerably longer and bigger the further out they extend from the megaphone. It’s drawn this way to show how the NOISE or SOUND expands outward.

Step 5

how to doodle noise

Add the finishing touches to your megaphone doodle by giving it some color. And there we have it. This is our visual representation of NOISE or SOUND. But I’m sure we could have doodled this a different way. How many other ways can you think of to visualize noise?

Step 1

drawing networking

If someone asked you to visualize NETWORKING, what would you draw? Let’s try and keep this very simple by using straightforward icons. Begin your networking doodle by drawing an oval in the middle of your page. Make sure that the oval isn’t too large as you will be drawing additional ovals in the next step.

Step 2

draw networking

In this step, draw more ovals around the central oval. In the example, I have doodled 8 ovals. Notice how each of these oval shapes are small than the central oval shape. Notice also the spacing of each of the shapes. You, of course, don’t necessarily need to draw it exactly as shown within the example. How you spread these oval shapes is completely up to you.

Step 3

doodling networking

Within each of the oval shapes, draw an icon of a person. Use a small oval shape for the head and then a couple of arc shapes and a straight line for the body. The icons don’t necessarily need to look the same. You can, for instance, add some features to each icon to make it look more unique. You can also add gender-specific features such as hair or use a triangle for the dress.

Step 4

doodle networking

Let’s now connect the various oval shapes with straight lines. You will notice in the example how the line connections have been randomized. There are no fixed or specific rules here. Feel free to connect the icons whichever way you wish.

Step 5

How to Doodle Neglected

Step 1

drawing neglected

If someone asked you to visualize the word NEGLECTED, what would you draw? Hmm, this is an interesting one. How about we draw a flower in a pot that’s slowly losing its petals. It could be quite a nice representation of the word NEGLECTED. Let’s begin our doodle by drawing the pot. Use a combination of rectangles and straight lines to draw your pot. Notice the angles of the vertical lines that extend from the base of our pot.

Step 2

draw neglected

Now, let’s draw the main stem of our flower. Doodle a curved line extending from the middle of the pot all the way to the outside as shown within the example. Then at the end of the stem, draw an oval shape. Notice the angle of our curved line and how it is leaning outside the pot.

Step 3

doodling neglected

Let’s now add a few more details to our flower. Use arc-shaped lines to draw the leaves. Then use three more arc-shapes do draw the flower petals that are still hanging onto our flower. Notice in the example how the leaves are not proper arc-shapes on the bottom side. The lines here curve out then back in again. This gives us a more realistic leaf shape.

Step 4

doodle neglected

To highlight that our flower is being neglected, let’s show that the petals are falling off and withering away. Use oval and arc-shapes to draw these flower petals. Notice how I have doodled a couple of curved lines extending from our flower. This shows that the petals are peeling off our flower.

Step 5

how to doodle neglected

Add the finishing touches to your doodle by giving it some color. And there we have it. This is our visual representation of something being neglected. The flower isn’t being looked after, and so it is losing its petals and withering away. 🙁 But this is, of course, just one way to visualize NEGLECTED. How many other ways can you think of?

Step 1

drawing motivation

If someone asked you to visualize MOTIVATION, what would you draw? This is a tricky one, but let’s give it a go. Begin your MOTIVATION doodle by drawing a very simple icon of a person. Notice in the example that we have a head, a nose, and the upper part of a body. Very straightforward shapes were used to draw this icon. Notice also how there is a gap at the top of the head. This is relevant for the next step.

Step 2

How to Doodle a Milestone

Step 1

drawing a milestone

If someone asked you to visualize a milestone, what would you draw? How about a stone with a flag that symbolizes our milestone. Begin by drawing the outer edges of your rock. No strict rules here. Just draw jagged lines. Notice how the base of the stone is relatively flat, and the top is pointy.

Step 2

Let’s now stick a pole into the stone, on which we will hang our flag. Use a couple of straight lines to draw your pole. Then at the top of the pole, doodle an oval shape. Notice the length of the pole and the size of the oval shape in the example.

Step 4

doodle a milestone

Use curved lines to draw your flag. Curved lines are used in this way to show that the flag is waving in the wind. You could, of course, draw the flag using straight lines. This would look more like a v-shape. That’s fine as well. Feel free to experiment.

Step 5

how to doodle a milestone

And finally, add some color to your doodle. And there we have it. This is our visual representation of a milestone. Yes, we could have added some words to the flag or stone. For instance, we could have written the word MILE on the flag. That way, it would instantly be recognized as a milestone. However, even without the words, it certainly gets the idea across that this is a milestone. How many other ways can you think of to visualize and milestone? Or could you modify this doodle slightly and still get the same message across?
