Trying to get the drawing from my head, now that would really stress me out and fuel my hyperthinking! But I guess we are all different. I do find this post very interesting and I will explore the ideas of Zen doodling more. Thanks for the introduction!

The meditation aspect for me is in the doing regardless of the end product. The act of creating is what links us to other artists no matter what their media or focus.

I've never zendoodled, but I do start with boarders when drawing trees and such, and fill in the leafy areas with a mix of inventive stippling and hatching similar to the zendoodle methods. It is mediative, liberating, and experimental. I would have never put the two ideas together, but I can see the shared process.
