How to Doodle Maximum

Step 1

drawing maximum

If someone asked you to visualize the idea of MAXIMUM, what would you draw? We could tackle this in a number of ways. But, for this example, we will use a scale reading to represent the word. To begin your doodle, draw a couple of arc shapes that are closed off at the bottom with a straight line. Notice how one of the shapes is a little larger than the other.

Step 2

draw maximum

Use three smaller arc shapes to draw the inside of the scale. This combination of shapes will become our arrow. This arrow will highlight what the reading is on the scale.

Step 3

doodling maximum

Next, use a couple more arc shapes to visualize the maximum and minimum settings on the scale. Notice how on the left we end with a point. While on the right we use a straight line. That is where the MAXIMUM will be.

Step 4

doodle maximum

Let’s now highlight where the minimum and maximum levels are by writing the words MIN and MAX. Then use a couple more arc shapes as shown within the example.

Step 5

How to Doodle Manufacturing

Step 1

drawing manufacture

If someone asked you to visualize the process of MANUFACTURING, what would you draw? How would you visualize the idea of manufacturing? Let’s use a very straightforward example using a car doodle. If you notice in the example, what I am trying to do is to show how a “doodle” car is manufactured step-by-step. In this example, I have used a simple arc and rectangle shapes.

Step 2

draw manufacture

Notice in step 2 of this process how we are visualizing how the doodle car is built/drawn. We start with the top part of the car, then we add the body, then we add the wheels, and then in the last step, we add some more details.

Step 3

doodling manufacture

To highlight the fact that the manufacturing process generates income, I have doodled a few dollar bills underneath the four cars. Use a rectangle shape to draw the dollar. Then a couple of v-shaped lines below the rectangle to show multiple notes.

Step 4

doodle manufacture

Now add lines in between the cars and the money to highlight a process of steps. This signifies that we are building a car and that it follows a manufacturing process.

Step 5

how to doodle manufacture

Add the finishing touches to your manufacturing doodle by giving it some color. And there we have it. This is our visual representation of the manufacturing process. See if you can create another example of the manufacturing process using another doodle instead of the car. You could, for instance, use a house, or a bike, or a robot as an example. Feel free to use your imagination. 🙂

How to Doodle a Magnet

Step 1

drawing a magnet

To doodle a magnet, begin by drawing an arc-shape in the middle of your page. Notice how the arc shape is angled at 45 degrees. Also, notice how the opening is on the top right. This will become the inside area of your magnet.

Step 2

Now draw a couple of lines extending from the arc-shape you drew in step 1. Notice again the angles of these two straight lines. Notice also the length of the lines and how they are relatively consistent on both sides.

Step 3

Time now to connect the outside edges of the two straight lines using another arc-shape. Notice how even the spacing is between the two arc shapes.

Step 4

doodle a magnet

Let’s now draw some more details to our magnet. Use straight lines on the outside of the magnet. These lines highlight that the magnet has magnetic power. Draw three additional straight lines on the magnet as shown within the example, and also write down S and N on either end. This represents the North and South poles.

Step 5

Add the finishing touches to your magnet doodle by giving it some color. And there you have it. This is a simplified doodle of a magnet. How many other ways can you think of to draw a magnet? Maybe, you could try drawing it using a variety of angles. Or, maybe, you could add a third-dimension to your doodle. Try it out. 🙂
