Doodle time!

I've been making tons of these doodle drawings lately. I got the idea from a random blog of a 4th grade art teacher. If a 4th grader can do it, so can you! :)






Here's what you'll need: 
black Sharpie, colored pencils, paper, sharpener.

Start by drawing a wavy line across the paper like this. Don't make your hills too big.



Make 8 dots along the line. They don't need to be spaced evenly, do it however you like. 



From there, start to connect the dots. Don't worry about it being perfect. You can also camp out in certain areas to make them bigger or avoid them to make them smaller, which gives it more of an optical illusion type of effect. 

here you can see what the beginning of the design
should look similar to.
After you fill up the entire page, it should look a little something like this: 


Now you can start coloring the sections in. Pick colors that go well together. I chose different shades of browns, reds, and greens for this one, since it was a special request. 


When you color in the sections, to give it a more 3D effect, you want to press harder with the pencil in the corners and lighten it as you get towards the middle. 



 Once you're finished coloring it in, it should look just as awesome as this! 



Have fun! :)
