Ok, get a pen, it can't be just any pen... I think you can use the pen end of your SU marker in a pinch. but i love the zig pens, I use a .01 tip, or a .05 depending. (HL has them)

Ok, got your pen? just use a normal pen if you can't find the fancy ones.

Then stamp an image. For this I recomend an animal. We are gonna doodle grass.

got it stamped? Don't color it yet! If you mess up the doodling you will be heartbroken! (believe me I know)

Ok, start with the grass line. this does NOT go right at his feet, that looks funky. it goes about a quarter way up the leg, try to make it go straight even when you have to break the line for the legs, maybe use a ruler or a scrap of any stright paper. Here's how I want you to do it:

1. Start at one end. draw a line, doesn't have to be perfect, then stop, do only like a quarter of an inch to a half of an inch.

2. then three or more dashes going up, don't have to be perfect, can come from the same point or just be all sitting there, whatever makes you happy.

3. now after a slight space start your line again. Do this over and over across the "grass line" of your image.

Now everything above that is sky and below it is grass. You can add some partial grass lines below the grass line for added depth. Color it green, you can color the whole thing or just right along the lines.

This is the very first thing I doodled. I only know this, the clouds and the edges thing.

I'm serious, do it right now and show us! You will love it, it's so easy.

there are more complicated doodle grasses, but I'm stuck on this easy one.

Ok, I did pics and put it all on the blog. (It's just easier to do that than put it on a million links here.)

Enjoy, it's just a quickie!

I just doodled the grass on paper. But if you use black pen and screw up, you can't erase it. So why not just use the colored pen right away? I doodled with a pencil just to see how it would look. Looks good.Kim
