This page spread might address my thoughts on doodles? In light of things to come I thought it was prescient. Keeping a journal is like that. You know you’re thinking about things before you think about them.
The drawing on the verso page is NOT a doodle, it’s a quick sketch with a fine brush pen, while I’m not wearing my glasses and have vertigo—very exciting trying to draw then. But it can ground you with the extra attention it requires.
The bird is a doodle. Done immediately after the dog sketch.
