What is zen doodling? It's a method of producing detailed patterns out of very simple lines, similar to what one scribbles on a notepad while talking on the phone. The practice of creating the repetitive patterns is said to invoke a meditative state, hence the "zen" part. Because it is doodling with simple lines, anyone can create zen doodles regardless of prior artistic experience/talent. And it's fun!
Go on Pinterest or YouTube and search for zen doodling, and you'll see a metric ton of examples for this style of art. I recently downloaded the book pictured here from Amazon and toyed with it briefly. Today I will dive in and look at some designs to see what kind of zen I can create.
