How to Doodle Poetry

Step 1

drawing poetry

If someone asked you to visualize POETRY, what would you draw? Let’s give it a go. Begin by drawing a quill pen. Use a combination of straight and curved lines to draw your pen. You are essentially doodling a feather. We will use this pen to write our poem.

Step 2

Next, let’s draw a piece of paper. Use a combination of curved and straight lines to doodle your piece of paper. This is where we will be writing our poetry.

Step 3

Because we are an avid poet, we will need additional sheets of paper. Use a combination of curved and straight lines to draw these sheets of paper. Notice how these lines mirror the original sheet of paper you drew in step 2.

Step 4

Let’s now draw an ink jar. Use a rectangle shape, three straight lines, and a couple of curved lines to draw your ink jar. I guess we could also call it a bottle. And when you’re finished drawing the bottle, write the words INK on the jar.

Step 5

Step 1

If someone asked you to visualize the idea of being ORDINARY, what would you draw? Let’s give it a go and see what we come up with. First of all, let’s draw an icon of a person. Use an oval shape along with several curved lines to draw the head and body of our figure.

How to Doodle Opposite

How to Doodle Opposite

Step 1

drawing opposite

If someone asked you to visualize OPPOSITE, what would you draw? I think the idea of OPPOSITES can be summed up within the first step of this doodle. Simply, drawing two arrows pointing in opposite directions helps us to get this idea across. But let’s add another element to this.

Step 2

draw opposite

Draw four small oval shapes alongside each of the arrows. Then within the oval shapes, draw a dot. These ovals will become the wheels of two cars that we are going to draw in the next step.

Step 3

doodling opposite

Use a combination of arc shapes and straight lines to draw the body of the two cars. Notice in the example how the cars are angled. This, of course, adds a layer of complexity to the doodle. But it’s good practice to draw various objects using different angles and positions.

Step 4

doodle opposite

Add some more details to your two cars by drawing the exhaust. Also, use a line to split the windows in half. One half will be for the front driver, and the other half will be for the passengers sitting in the back seat. Oh, and don’t forget to use a cloud shape to show the smoke coming out of the exhaust.

Step 5

how to doodle opposite

Finish off your OPPOSITE doodle by giving it some color. And there we have it. This is one of many representations of the word OPPOSITE. How many other ways can you think of to visually represent this word?

How to Doodle an Opportunity

Step 1

drawing an opportunity

If someone asked you to visualize an OPPORTUNITY, what would you draw? Here, we would need to visually represent something valuable that is within our reach. Let’s give it a go. Begin your doodle by drawing a straight line with a spiral at each end.

Step 2

draw an opportunity

Hanging down from this spiraled line, draw seven straight vertical lines of different lengths. Then at the end of each line, draw a diamond shape. Notice how one of the lines is far longer than the others. This will become a significant piece of our opportunity doodle.

Step 3

doodling an opportunity

Below the diamond shapes, draw an oval shape. This oval shape will represent the head of our doodle character. Notice how the oval shape has been placed to the left of the lowest diamond.

Step 4

doodle an opportunity

Let’s now show that our doodle character is reaching out for the lowest diamond. Use straight lines and small oval shapes to draw the body of our doodle character. Notice how the back is a little arched. Notice also how the knees as slightly bent.

Step 5

how to doodle an opportunity

Add the finishing touches to your doodle by giving it some color. And for that extra effect, add several straight lines around the middle diamond. This highlights the idea that it is shining and instantly increases its value. 🙂 And there we have it. This is our visual representation of an OPPORTUNITY.

How to Doodle Open

How to Doodle Open

Step 1

drawing open

If someone asked you to visualize the idea of OPENING something, what would you draw? How about a combination of an open box and an arrow? To begin your doodle, draw a rectangle in the middle of your page. Notice how the rectangle is leaning slightly towards the right.

Step 2

draw open

To make our rectangle look like a box, we need to draw it in 3D. Do this using 5 straight lines. Notice within the example the angle and length of each of these lines. Notice also how these lines mirror the angles of the lines we drew in step 1.

Step 3

doodling open

Let’s now demonstrate that the lid of the box is open. To do this, draw three straight lines at the very top of our box drawing. Notice the length of the lines within the example.

Step 4

doodle open

Let’s draw another open section of the box. To the left of the box, doodle 3 more straight lines. Notice again the angle and length of these lines. This gives us the impression that this is part of the top section of the box that is uncovered.

Step 5

how to doodle open

To demonstrate the idea of something being open, draw an arrow pointing upwards on your box. This arrow is pointing to the opening of the box within our doodle. This now helps represent the idea that something is OPEN. Finally, add the finishing touches to your box by giving it some color. Notice how the inside of the box is a darker shade of color. This makes our box look a little more realistic within this example. How many other ways can you think of to doodle the idea of OPENING something?
