My first attempt at Doodling :) |
We all have hobbies, don't we? For some, it may be some sort of collections like coins or stamps, reading, painting, swimming and so on. A hobby can be defined as "an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure."
Reading, writing and blogging that had started off as hobbies for me quickly turned into a passion. Yes, I can't imagine a single day without reading or writing. As a kid, I used to love to draw. But like all things that happen as we grow up, it was soon forgotten, casually dismissed as being too childish by my grown up self.
And recently, all thanks to social media, I discovered something called as doodling. Now, the thing about drawing doodles is that anyone can do it. You need not have to be an expert, nor does the doodle have to be perfect. With that comfort in mind, I sat down one morning and with the help of YouTube, created the above doodle. How's it? :D
Learning something new is so much fun. And once I started doing it, I realized that I miss the thrill of learning and doing something new, unlike childhood days when we would jump in head first and think later when it came to any activity, for that matter.
So, tell me, when was the last time you tried learning something new? Do you have any sort of unusual hobbies? Let me know!
P.S. I'm working on the remaining parts of Gouri (yesterday's post) in my head. Shall publish it soon, hopefully.
Linking this post to the A to Z Challenge.

ReplyDeleteThanks Raj :) They were too cute to resist!
DeleteSweet Doodles!! I too love trying out new things. I tried coffee painting. Loved the experience as the smell of,coffee keeps you hooked! It lingers in the painting to. I gifted them to friends :) I want to try zentangling. Maybe after this blogging challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vidya :) I have heard of coffee painting and it sounds wonderful. I have seen a few videos on zentangling and it looks very interesting. Should try it out sometime.
DeleteLoved your cute doodles, wonderful :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruchi!
DeleteLearning something new is always fun!
ReplyDeleteIndeed :) It makes me feel alive!
DeleteAh, your doodles are superb and my unusual hobby would be to sit and observe people. In fact at one time I wished that I had the power of invisibility to watch strangers go about their everyday life without noticing me :)
ReplyDeleteI love observing people too :) We need an invisibility cloak right? Thanks Prasanna!
DeleteIt is soo cute.. loved your post Aathira :)
ReplyDeleteCheers

DeleteSo cute. I love doodling too. :) origami is my new interest as my kid asks to make stuff out if paper for him. It is great to try and learn new things. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vinitha :) I have never trued origami. Shall google it :)
DeleteThat is good. Now from doodling try to graduate to Cartooning ! Drawing cartoons can be made really crisp if you can write nice captions too, which you can do very well. R K Laxman's cartoons were famous only because of their appropriate captions
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your encouraging words. The Common Man by R K Laxman is definitely a masterpiece. I shall try my hand at cartooning too :)
DeleteDoodles looks like real fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved yours!
It is. Thank you!
DeleteDoodling sure is a stress buster. I have my first doodle framed and hung in my bedroom :)
ReplyDeleteI think I do remember seeing a picture of yours :)
DeleteYour doodles look lovely. I tried learning Spanish a year ago through Duolingo. It was absolute fun. Have stopped due to time constraint. Need to continue learning :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sundari! Spanish and Italian are languages that sounds like fun. I hope you get time to continue it :)
