I have been trying to do doodles like Nici does for a couple of years now.  I have never been able to do them in a way I liked.  But I have enjoyed doing designs for a while now that are squares with various designs in them.  Here is an example of one of them.

This gave me the idea to try the same thing with a circle.  And I was pleased with the result of this sort of funky mandala design.

What I liked about Nici’s doodles was that she did some of them with twinklink H2O’s ( metallic watercolors) so I tried this type of mandala with the twinling paints.  And it is as close as I’ve come to liking a doodle type image I’ve done with them.  I think it’s a mandala doodle

All of these were done in my journal which is a sketch pad.  The first two were done with sharpies.  The last one was done on a page coated with black gesso with twinkling H2O’s as I said.
