Get a small sketchbook and keep it with you ALL the time. You are a budding artist and someday you will value the ideas you put down in the book.

Give your doodling some thought...and make your drawings into line drawings of objects you observe. Then try shading them with either a pencil...or switch to a pen if 'messy' is really a problem. If you use a pen, shade with a technique called "hatching."

And read this, you'll find it interesting!

Your doodling is developing your artistic skill. Don't stop! Don't stress! Just doodle in your special book...let your creativity go!!!!

do something else

break all your pencils

Don't.What's wrong with doodling?I myself love to doodle.

aah yes i do that too in all my school notebooks too...probably just get a sketch book and whenever you feel like drawing...pull it out. if you forget (which i do with a lot of things) write it on your hand...that's what i always do. :)

Don't stop, must do it on pages you reserve for it, and NOT on anything else. Get yourself a spiral notebook that can open up to lay flat and have fun.

Don't! Doodling is a great way to express someones creativity. Almost EVERYONE doodles. I doodle on every paper I can get my hands on! To stop yourself from doodling on important papers, have a couple sheets of blank paper with you so you can doodle on THOSE instead of other papers. Good luck!

I have the same problem "Doodleing (more of an art you ask me:) is like daydreaming on paper, ,limit the doodle's you do,a few smile faces would'nt hurt though, as soon as you stop focus!

dont rosie! doodling=fun. dont EVER change. :)

Don't stop! I doodle all the time! Just try to doodle where it is appropriate.
