What is a doodle?
Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be composed of random and abstract lines or shapes, generally without ever lifting the drawing device from the paper, in which case it is usually called a scribble..
Doodling can be traced back an estimated 500,000 years when our ancestors scribbled zig-zag markings on cave walls to tell stories, keep records of images, or glorify the divine.
