I doodle a lot, and I cheerfully admit my visual language is unsophisticated. A lot of it is just scribbled faces with various expressions:
Do you doodle? If so, what form does it take?

I regret no. Somehow I never did take to it. And now with all my writing done using a computer I hardly ever have blank paper and pen or pencil before me to start.
I used to doodle mostly abstract patterns while sitting through classes. Learned as much or more doing that as I did trying to take notes.
Rummuser,
That’s too bad.
Mike,
Thanks for telling us about it. I never did it in class — it probably would have been a good idea. I used to take notes but I probably didn’t think about the ideas as much while I was writing.
No, but seeing your face expressions makes me want to. I could do that!
Just remembered: I used to make comic birthday cards for my bicycle group members (“Cyclones”). Everybody laughed. I’ve been accused of putting myself down but these cards were really good. 😀
In fact, you showed me one of your cards years ago, and you were one of my inspirations to try drawing cartoons. I remember wishing that I could draw something like that too.
Doodling for me is a little difficult at times, because the “pencil” as such is a fine motor skill and my tremor knows it and at time acts accordingly so I end up with lines and things going all over the place…
But on the other hand I have made some very entertaining art works, when I was doing my art course that way.
I have beside me all kinds of paper – some attached to books through to scrap paper that get notations on them all kinds of reasons. I also have a lot of different pens/pencils which are used in a doodling sort of way. But mostly my doodles are written words…
My doodles are often big and expansive, so maybe they don’t need fine motor skills? I often use magic markers, and the wide movements feel liberating.
Very rarely. When I do it tends to be a grid which I fill in with different patterns.
That works too.
