What do you need for doodling?

So often times I get asked why I doodle.

My honest answer is the point of the activity. Because it relaxes me. I love how I can start with no plan, and through simple redundant careful movements, it becomes this thing bigger than the sum of its parts.

In terms of materials, honestly its just plain paper and a pen. If you would to invest in materials for a bigger pay off- here is what I use.

Micron pens

Walmart has then at an affordable price

Note Pad that wont bleed (I prefer  mixed media notebook)

Available on Amazon

And if you like color here's what I use (Warning: I find color makes decision making infinitely more difficult as you not only have to keep track of shapes, but alternating palettes as well so I recommend sticking with black for beginners)
