How to Doodle a Jail

Step 1

drawing a jail

How would you visualize PRISON or the idea of being in JAIL using a simple doodle? Begin by drawing a circle near the top of your page. This circle shape will become the head of our prison inmate.

How to Doodle Intimacy

Step 1

drawing intimacy

If someone asked you to visualize INTIMACY, what would you draw? This is a tough one. However, I have an idea we can work with. Let’s doodle it out. To begin with, draw an oval shape on your page. Notice how the oval shape is open on the bottom end. This will become the head of one of your icon characters.

Step 2

draw intimacy

Use an arc shape to draw the other character’s head to the left of the original head you drew in step 1 above. Notice the size and positioning of the head. Both heads are more or less the same size, and the second head is positioned on a 45-degree angle above the first head.

Step 3

doodling intimacy

We have our two heads in place. Now we need to visualize the intimacy between these two characters. To do this, use long arc shapes for the arms. Notice how the arms of our second character are wrapping around the shoulders of our first character.

Step 4

doodle intimacy

Let’s now doodle the arms and legs of our first character. We want to show that they are wrapping around our second character. Again, use elongated arc shapes for this purpose as shown within the example.

Step 5

how to doodle intimacy

To show that this is an intimate moment, let’s draw a couple of hearts around the two characters. Once our hearts are in place, give your doodle some color. And there you have it. This is our visual representation of INTIMACY. But, this is, of course, just one way to visualize intimacy. Can you think of any other ways to doodle this?

How to Doodle an Injection

Step 1

drawing injection

If someone asked you to visualize what an injection would look like, what would you draw? How about drawing a needle? To begin your doodle, draw a three-sided rectangle in the middle of your page. Notice the angle of this rectangle. Also, notice how the top of the rectangle has been left open.

Step 2

draw injection

Let’s now fill the top of the rectangle with a very slim and flat rectangle. Notice that the slim rectangle is slightly wider than the large rectangle.

Step 3

doodling injection

To draw the pointy end of our needle, use a v-shape combined with a straight line. Two simple shapes that help us get the message across that this is the pointy end of our doodle. 😉

Step 4

doodle injection

For the other side of your needle, use a couple more rectangle shapes as shown within the example. This is the injecting end of our needle.

Step 5

how to doodle injection

Add the finishing touches to your needle by drawing several lines along the inside of the original rectangle you drew in step 1. These are our measuring lines. Then give your doodle some color. And there you have it. This is our injection doodle. You could, of course, spice up this doodle by showing the injection being inserted into a body part. Or, there could be other ways to represent and injection in a visual way. How many other ways can you think of?

If someone asked you to visualize INDECISION, what would you draw? Let’s take a look at goofy doodle that we could use for this purpose. To begin your doodle, draw an oval in the middle of your page.

Step 2

draw indecision

On this oval shape, we will draw eyes and a mouth, thereby, turning it into a doodle head. Use two smaller oval shapes for the eyes. Also, include two arc shapes for the eyeballs. Then use a squiggly line for the mouth. With this facial expression, we are trying to get across that this cartoon character is a little confused.

Step 3

doodling indecision

To highlight that there is INDECISION here, draw two arrows pointing in opposite directions on either side of the head. One arrow is pointing right and the other arrow is pointing left. Use straight lines to draw the arrows.

Step 4

How to Doodle Imagination

Step 1

drawing imagination1

If someone was to ask you how to visualize the word IMAGINATION, what would you draw? It requires a little imagination to draw intangible objects. 😉 Let’s give it a go. To begin with, let’s draw what looks like a pawn piece on a chessboard. Notice the size of the head area and the various shapes used to draw the body. This will become an icon of our cartoon character who will be imagining something.

Step 2

draw imagination

Let’s now give our cartoon character some facial features. Use a combination of ovals and arc shapes for the eyes and mouth. Notice how the eyes are looking upwards. This is important as you will see in the next step.

Step 3

doodling imagination

Towards where the eyes are looking, draw several 3-dimensional shapes. You will notice a cube, triangle, a tube, and a disc type of shape. You can follow along with the example, or feel free to draw your own versions of these shapes or anything else imaginative that comes to mind. There are no fixed rules here. These shapes can literally be anything you want them to be. 🙂

Step 4

doodle imagination

To show that our cartoon character is imagining these shapes, draw a thought cloud. Use two small circle shapes extending from the side of the head. Then draw the cloud shape around the 3D shapes as shown in the example.

Step 5

how to doodle imagination

To finish things off, draw three straight lines on the side of the cartoon character’s head. This gives us the impression that they are thinking about something. Then conclude by giving your doodle some color. And there you have it. This is one way to visualize IMAGINATION. But there are, of course, more ways we could doodle IMAGINATION.

If someone asked you to visualize an IDEA, what would you draw? How about combining a cartoon head with a light-bulb? To begin your IDEA doodle, draw an oval in the middle of your page. This will become the head of our cartoon character.

Step 2

draw an idea

Let’s now draw some features on the head. Use an arc shape for the nose and mouth. Then use three straight lines on top of the head. These lines will represent the formation of an idea. They are action-oriented lines that symbolize that something is moving or happening.

Step 3

How to Doodle History

Step 1

If someone asked you to visualize HISTORY, what would you draw? This is a tough one, and yet at the same time, we could do this in a number of ways. For this example let’s draw a clock that’s moving backwards. Begin your doodle by drawing the outer edges of our clock. Use a couple of arc shapes for this purpose. Notice the gap.

Step 2

draw history

Let’s now draw the north, east, south and west sides of our clock face. Use a rectangle for this purpose. Also, draw an arrow that points to where 9 o’clock would be.

Step 3

doodling history

Now draw an oval in the middle of your clock face. The size of this oval doesn’t really matter. You can go bigger or smaller.

Step 4

Now draw the hands on the clock face. Where you point the hands makes no difference. We have enough information to give us the idea that this is a clock we are drawing.

Step 5

how to doodle history

Add the finishing touches to your clock by giving it some color. And there you have it. This is our representation of HISTORY. The clock face represents us moving back in time, which takes us back to a historical period. This is, of course, just one way to visualize HISTORY. How many other ways can you think of?

How to Doodle a Hierarchy

How to Doodle a Hierarchy

Step 1

drawing a hierarchy

If someone asked you to visualize a hierarchy, what would you draw? There are, of course, a number of ways we could visualize a hierarchy. Let’s look at one of them in this example. To begin with, let’s doodle a very simple icon that will represent the person on top of our hierarchy. Use a circle and three curved lines to draw this person icon near the top of your page.

Step 2

draw a hierarchy

Let’s now draw three smaller person icons below the larger icon you drew in step 1. Notice how these icons are spread out on the second line of our hierarchy.

Step 3

doodling a hierarchy

Let’s now draw two even smaller person icons on the third line of our hierarchy. We are drawing smaller icons on each row because the smaller the icon the lower their position on the hierarchy.

Step 4

doodle a hierarchy

To show that this hierarchy of people is connected, draw several straight lines connecting the first row to the second row and then to the third row as shown in this example.

Step 5

How to doodle a hierarchy

Add the finishing touches to your hierarchy doodle by giving it some color. You can, of course, change up your hierarchy. I have used icons that represent people, but you can use other icons to represent your hierarchy. You can also change the hierarchy structure if you wish.
