Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may
only be composed of random and abstract lines,
mostly without ever lifting the drawing device from the paper, in which case it is
normally named a "scribble".
Doodling and scribbling are most
frequently associated with
immature children and toddlers, because their lack of hand–eye coordination and lower mental development often make it very
hard for any young
kid to
hold on their coloring attempts within the line art
on the subject. Despite this, it is not uncommon to
witness such
behavior with adults, in which case it is generally done jovially, out of boredom.
Distinctive examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by
student daydreaming or losing interest during class
. Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available.
Popular kinds of doodles include cartoon versions of teachers or
companions in a school, famous TV or comic characters, invented
fictional beings, landscapes, geometric
frames,
shapes, textures, or phallic scenes.
