In the past it was eyes. My college friend with a degree in experimental psychology said it was paranoia. I do not draw eyes any more I render them. Here is one I'm working on for a computer animation.


I've heard it's related to schizophrenia. I'm not a paranoid person(well not very much anyway). I wonder if it's because we avoid eyes so much in real life that we're kinda obsessed with them subconsciously? Kinda like one of those things that's alluring, because it's such a mystery?

I sometimes draw eyes, and I wouldn't say I'm paranoid—not very much at least. I also draw fractals (usually triangles getting progressively smaller according to a certain pattern). I also doodled landscapes, maps, abstract geometric designs, and random scribbles.

Mostly a self-portrait cartoon character - a little bit cooler than I actually am. ;)

Absolutely nothing. I don't doodle, I don't draw.

Oh yeah....

As a boy, I would draw trains on the school blackboard whenever possible.

in junior high, it changed to the nuclear mushroom cloud... in full, glorious, full-board detail.

BOOOOOOMMmmmmm!! !! !!

I used to doodle tornadoes and lots of different faces. All the faces would have very exaggerated facial expressions and were very cartoon-like.

Now I mostly doodle eyes and tons of geometric shapes. The shapes usually start the same and end up in two different ways. They will start building up like building blocks with squares, rectangles, circles, and cylinders that would start widely grouped on the bottom and support other layers like a house of cards. They either end up as a complicated balance game or shaded and subtlety tweaked until it looks like a curvy forest of shapes. I'm not sure if that last part will make any sense. OH well.

Stars, squares, hash symbols. I used to draw eyes too, really evil looking ones 8O
I've drawn palm trees, dogs. Most of the time I use my ruler and use it to draw some straight line patterns on post-it notes. A very good waste of the stationery supplies at work :P

another one that used to draw eyes. Realistic eyes. I had a friend in uni that also liked to draw them but definitely not in AS spectrum, so maybe it's more common and not "AS exclusive". I think I started doodling after I saw some of Escher's wonderful drawings.

I tried once to do eyes. I did a really good rather large one, but I was no good at small ones, which are more practical for me. I like cat's eyes better, though.

I drew on graph paper most of the time in school, but I'm designing a paper doll right now. I'm making all sorts of different outfits, all with nice, clean lines, no shading. ever.

and I LOVE the fibbonnacci numbers. They are so fixed, and they make a beautiful spiral

When I was a kid, I was more inclined to drawing eyes....and trees.....faces.....elaborate princesses.....also fake advertisements for things.....I got lots of notebooks taken away filled with fake advertisements..

I have notebooks and notebooks and notebooks full of doodles and drawings from the past

These days it doesn't seem like I do very much.

mostly it is strange imaginary creatures that often look angry or confused.

Often they have big mouths with lots of teeth.

oh yeah...and lots and lots of spirals.
