Hello Stranger! Welcome to my Blog and you are now entering the Doodle post. Please Enjoy and don't hesitate to ask out here fb.com/nextgenerationpeace or on the comment section.

By the way I'm Nicole creator of Victoria Doodle and today I will share my personal experiences with Doodling. Please Enjoy!


Let us define first what the word "doodle" means via Google-ing.

Doodle is an unfocused drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied.

Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by students daydreaming or losing interest during class.


Effects on Memory by Professor Jackie Andrade

According to a study published in the scientific journal Applied Cognitive Psychology, doodling can aid a person's memory by expending just enough energy to keep one from daydreaming, which demands a lot of the brain's processing power, as well as from not paying attention. Thus, it acts as a mediator between the spectrum of thinking too much or thinking too little and helps focus on the current situation.  



Basics of Doodling:

As for experience I consider doodling as a free art. That it doesn't follow any rules. Free art as Free act on how you stroke your design for it. For me all you need is an inspiration or even if you are particular with what character is own your mind you can easily scribble/doodle it out. Music can be a catalyst when you doodle just like with the following Video clip "Basic Doodling" by Fatimah Somandar, as you heat it, it is accompanied with a song that best suits the doodler's mood. So I hope you enjoy the next few fun facts!  ☺


So to be able to come up with a simple doodle just like on the video you'll be needing the ff:

Basic requirements:

1. Paper/sketchpad
2. Pencil/Pen/Colored Sharpies

Doodling first with the aid of a Pencil shows a wide scope of your design. A light stroke of a pencil showing off your art can be greatly followed by pen for darkening.

Doodling your outlines with a My gel Pen gives a dark shade that suits the layout of any characters/shapes/strokes you prefer to draw. Right after the outlines were done you can erase the pencil marks for clearing out.

Sharpies can aid colorful tricks for a doodle art. It gives a great mark for shading and strokes. Fine art is what sharpies offers.

3. Inspiration/Motivation/Confidence

4. Thoughts and Ideas

5. Heart and Mind

6. add-on:  a song, food, pet


As a Doodler what can I hare about Doodling

I get to know doodling because of the social blog site Tumblr. The bloggers on Tumblr are very humble and with that they share everything they know about life and even their art skills. One day I happened to go over the Dashboard cause I am bored that day nothing to do but to blog my day out. An artwork posted by a blogger caught my eye. It is somewhat like an abstract of swirls with a burger, lollipop,pizza, ink spills and even word arts. With that I've decided to do my own version of it. As of now I remembered that day I did my first one. So be it.

Next thing I thought about was my materials in doing some. So I happen to have a bold pen that time and piece of paper. Without the aid of a pencil I finished an artwork and because of that I challenged myself to do more and to learn more about Doodling and its remarks on the World.


Doodling for me is a Past time giving up Bigtime impact in my life. The good thing about doodling is that you'll never know how it is gonna be like in the end. With all the objects and characters you used. It will end up with a good combination leading to an artwork. Just putting on all the basics bonded with inspiration and confidence you can have a pretty much good looking doodle art of your own.


Everyone can doodle. Everywhere we can doodle. Just grab a pen, paper and just blend yourself to the current situation.

HOW TO APPLY DOODLING ANYWHERE

1. SCRAPBOOKING

During our School event my Scrapbook looks like this. Anyway THIS IS MY SCRAPBOOK's Cover. Inside this was my Adventure during our Public Health Service. Though you might be asking I'am a Medical Technology Student and I'am a current student of Notre Dame of Marbel University a fourth year graduating student.

2. POSTER MAKING

Because my younger brother is graduating ending his High school journey I made him a Poster Doodle Art. It was exposed during his graduation party at home and I suddenly get compliments because of it. Some visitors were asking question on how I ended up with that or what's happening in my mind. *If you know what I mean.

3. Display

"As a doodler everything is possible" - Victoria Doodle That's my saying as per experiences as a doodler.For the next artwork I may describe it as a Doodle Display because just unlike the poster sticked itself on the wall this one can be move another place for exposure. I did doodle for my Younger Sister for her HS grad also. With this one I'am inspired with PANDAS so as you observe I did Panda characters. Solely Black and White expect for some.


4. Open minded Doodling for everyone

Because of loving Doodling that much I came searchin' for more inspirations with that you and I can aid ourselves with new techniques for another doodle. Below is my Victoria thingsweforget doodle inspired  It is as you can see filled with things we might not be forgetting in life. Some: Eat Mindfully, Stay Curious, Step out of your shadow, Day dream some and my personal favorite: Keep an open Mind

To keep an open mind as a doodler is very important. We must not be limiting ourselves to what we already know cause the only permanent thing in this world is change. So we might wanna have a new inspiration, new perspectives and even new style for A NEW DOODLE ART.

5. Building up and Sharing Happiness to others

Because my doodles are adding up every other day also new ideas are also coming in I decide to put up a facebook page labeling it as VICTORIA DOODLE coming from my name. This is not an easy decision by the way for the reason that I must set a goal for creating some.

THE REASON BEHIND THE VICTORIA DOODLE PAGE:
1.Doodles to be created
2.Doodling to be shared
2.Doodling as I loved it that much


Thank you for visiting my profile and I hope it helped you in any way.
Basically it is the thought that counts. Keep on doodling  everyone! - Victoria Doodle

The Ready Set is the solo project of 21 year old Jordan Witzigreuter, started November 17th, 2007.

Born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, his interest in music formed when he began playing drums at the age of 10. He says that he came home one day and his mom told him that she had signed him up for drum lessons. He states that those lessons are the main reasons he is where he is in music today. By the age of 14 he was playing in bands, playing drums while getting more familiar with other instruments, and by the age of 16 he was touring in them. He later found a different outlet for his creativity through writing lyrics and music in an acoustic duo, which eventually led to the formation of The Ready Set. He was a member of a ska band, "Take Sides", an acoustic band, "brideandgroom" and a hardcore band, "Saints Never Surrender" before creating The Ready Set in the fall of 2007.

During the summer of '07, Jordan wrote a few songs and kept them to himself, as his main focus was the acoustic duo he was a part of. When the other member left to pursue a different career, Jordan decided to take the songs he had started, finish them up, and put together a Myspace page just for fun. In January of 2008, he released his first EP "Syntax and Bright Lights", which was completely written and recorded in his basement. He soon after began writing for his second release, a full-length titled "Tantrum Castle", also recorded in his basement.

Shortly after his high school graduation, he began touring in other bands, which made it clear to him where his heart was: The Ready Set. In July of 2008 he released "Tantrum Castle" and began touring full-time as The Ready Set. His live performances have evolved greatly since his early days, changing from a two-man show with keys, vocals, and a computer, to a complete full-band show with bass, drums, and lights. Witzigreuter says that his first performance for The Ready Set was at a coffee shop (The Mocha Lounge) where he worked in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Since then, The Ready Set has toured with numerous bands, including a supporting slot on a full US tour with Boys Like Girls, both The Bamboozle and Bamboozle Left, the Bamboozle Roadshow, the MTV VMA Tour, as well as many smaller tours.

The Ready Set has also made performances on MTV on multiple occasions, including an appearance on MTV's TJ Search Live Finale and being the "One to Watch" on MTV's 10 on Top. Witzigreuter has also been featured twice on MTV's Buzzworthy: once on December 11, 2009 as an up and coming artist, and again the following year on September 7, 2010, complete with an interview video and a live performance video.

Throughout multiple self-booked tours, The Ready Set has continued to prove itself as a show worth seeing as well as hearing with it's abundant energy and emphasis on showmanship. In November 2009, Witzigreuter signed with Decaydance Records and Sire Records, both subsidiary labels of Warner Bros. Records. He released his first full–length studio album, I'm Alive, I'm Dreaming, on June 15, 2010.

The lead single, "Love Like Woe" has reached #71 on the Billboard Hot 100, #33 on the Billboard pop chart, and #15 on the Mediabase Top 40 Radio chart.

FUN FACTS  about Jordan



1. I am very shy in person. It's easier for me to communicate on the internet, as such technological advancements have badly damaged the youth's social skills.. Or at least mine



2. Every comment, message, etc I've ever sent you has been authentic, as with my song plays. In my opinion, ANY sort of myspace bot is ridiculous. Any band that uses one is deducted 10 respect points. Haha

3. I graduated highschool in January of 08 and spent my second semester of senior year in college/in college computer labs/my house working on TRS things, booking shows, writing, designing, etc…

4. I devoted 90% of my time to this project since the start of it, so I take lots of pride in getting things done on my own.


5. My main instrument is and always will be drums, regardless of if I'm playing them in a band. On a side note, there will be some real drums [and bass] on my next album.. Along with electronic ones of course

6. Every bit of music by The Ready Set is and will always be written/recorded by me, Jordan. No one else!!


7. I am terrible at keeping in touch with people! This is something I am working on!

8. If you see me at a show I will be doing 1 of 2 things: texting or rushing around to get things ready for our performance.. But please don't hesitate to come up and talk to me! I get very very stoked when people holla/take pictures with me/talk about whatever! Once again, please don't mistake shyness for butthead-ness.

9. When I'm not spending time doing TRS things, I'm spending time with my girlfriend Katelyn! You can find us at pet stores, coffee shops, and the 2 cool clothing stores our city has to offer. If it is food time, you can find us at a Thai restaurant or Panera yumm

10. I try to keep things personal with fans! I think it brings a better understanding of my lyrics and whatnot.. And I like to be friendly!

11. When I started The Ready Set, I was under the impression that there were 2 other electronic bands of this variety. I was very wrong.

11.5. I'm short in person and I can't grow a legit moustache. Or beard for that matter.

Christofer Drew Ingle is a singer/songwriter from Joplin, MO. He is in four bands currently. He is in Never Shout Never with Caleb Dennison (lead guitar), Nathan Ellison (drums), Taylor MacFee (bass), Dustin Dobernig (keyboard), and Hayden Kaiser (percussion). Some other friends on tour with him are Jeremy Burke (friend/tour manager), Carter Hulsey (best friend), Scott Fahrig (friend/tech guy), Nick Smith (friend/merch guy), Big Cat(tech), Denton (sound guy), Hansel(mastermind), and Lucy(tour pug). On stage you'll usually see Chris singing on a rug without anything on his feet. There are usually scarves or flowers on the mic stand. He plays the uke, guitar, harmonica (usually at the same time as guitar), and sometimes a tambourine. He can play the piano. He can even play the drums a bit. His bandmates are also members of his side project called eatmewhileimhot. They play all the same instruments and Chris screams his heart out. He does ALL the vocals. He told me on May 7th that there will be some new eatmewhileimhot songs online for FREE soon! He just recently started two other bands. The first is called Glenwood. Chris plays bass, Hayden Kaizer plays drums, Scott Fahrig plays guitar, and Taylor MacFee is the lead singer. They've only had one show so far. Glenwood is mainly just for fun so they can jam with their friends. He started yet another band called "the ooolala". It was really just a one-day thing. He was home on break for a week and had some tunes in his head he needed to get out. He called his buddy and they got real stoned and recorded some stuff. He probably won't work any more on it though. He recently tweeted: #becauseofweed i started a band call[ed] "the ooolala" haha

He has released 3 EPs and one full-length album. On July 27th, Never Shout Never will release "Melody" and eatmewhileimhot will release xALBUMx. On August 24th, Chris will release his first album under Christofer Drew called "Harmony."

Up in Personal:

Growing up was hard for him but he made it through and has no regrets. He was born in SanDiego and lived there until he was 2. He then moved to Portland and lived there until he was 5. He grew up in Joplin, MO. His parents' names are Nancy Keifner and Edward Ingle. His mother taught him about life and love. His father taught him about music and how to be a man. His parents have recently divorced (August of '09), which inspired his new song "What Is Love". He has an older brother named David who is an artist. He has two younger sisters. Hannah is 18 and off to college. He is paying for her tuition. Sarah is his 15-year-old sister. She inspired his song "15". Chris' high school life was rough. He got picked on for not playing football. He did, although, run track, cross country, and thought about tennis as a career for a while. His father was big into tennis. He was a real dork in high school. No one really talked to him. Therefore, he would stay home half the time and make music. Then; he got dropped. That is sometimes the hardest thing for him to tell people. He doesn't want anyone to think that dropping high-school is a good thing. At about 13, he started getting interested in the guitar. He learned how to play on his dad's guitar. He started smoking when he was 14. He smokes American Spirits which are pure tobacco. He is trying to quit. His 16th year was a busy one. That year, he started Never Shout Never. He became a vegetarian that year as well. At 16, he lost his virginity to his girlfriend of 8 months. His love was pure; hers was not. He found out that she cheated on him with one of his team mates from the tennis team. This experience inspired his song "Lost It". At the time, he hung out with his friends at a hookah bar where he had his first experience with weed. That year of his life was full of experimentation. He got into some heavy shiz. He is not very proud of it. He started experimenting with a lot of psychedelics. He said they were fun, but not something to take as lightly as he was. That phase of his life is complete though. It was a great time of self discovery. He's always had low self-esteem and been depressed in his teens. His parents weren't pleased with all his behavior, so they kicked him out. Nick Smith dropped out of school with him to help support him and because he believed in him. He spent 3 months living in his car and friend's couches. He got back on his feet with the help of his friends and band mates. His music brought him through his hard times. He's produced 3 EPs and his first full-length album. He's currently on tour. He just finished up touring on the AP Tour in his band Never Shout Never along with The Summer Set, Every Avenue, Hey Monday, and The Cab on the AP Tour. Warped tour is where he's at right now. Having a blast and chillen with his buds all summer long

Chris has many tattoos. He got his first one when he was 16 in a trailer park. That tattoo is on his right wrist. It says "faith" in Hebrew. The peace sign on his left foot symbolizes how he tries to walk in peace every day. He has double bands on his biceps and the Greek symbols for Alpha and Omega on his forearms. The Alpha is on his right forearm and the Omega is on his left. Alpha and Omega symbolize beginning and end. There is a sun on his right shoulder and a crescent moon on his left, also symbolizing the beginning and end. He has a live tree just under the sun on his right bicep above the bands. He has a dead tree just under the moon on his left bicep above the bands. There is a black bird with its wings spread on the both of his forearms just under his elbow. On both of his elbows, he has a yin-yang sign. He just recently got two new tattoos on his wrists on April 22 in front of about one thousand of his fans. Each is made up of a band, dots all the way around, another band, two circles inside each other, and another band. Inside the right circle is the Chinese symbol for the eternal Tao and inside the left circle is the Chinese symbol for peace and harmony. The tattoos face in. Chris has an anchor on each hand. The design is intricate and detailed. His right hand has his mom's initials, "N. K." His left hand has his father's, "E. I." His right knuckles have the word "LIVE" across them and his left have "FREE". On his right thigh is a treble clef that usually extends all the way to his knee so you can see it in the knee holes of his jeans. A bass clef is on his left thigh and doesn't extend as far down. Across his chest just under his collar bone reads "Love is my Weapon". Under that, taking up the rest of his chest, is a dove with its wings spread. This symbolizes peace in his heart. Probably his least known tattoo is the word "TRUTH" on the inside of his bottom lip. Chris got it on March 20 after the Austin, Texas SXSW at Emo's. He was kinda regretfully "messed up" and went down the street to get it done. Teeny-tiny stars inside his Chinese tattoos were first spotted in his "join the revolution" picture of him pouring coooookie crisps that he posted on June 5th. He probably got the tatt on June 1st when he tweeted the word "ouch". He's said his body is a canvas and he's gonna "put his body to shame". So, there are many more to come.
**there are more. if you want a full list, i have one posted separately, and on ask.com several times.

Chris loves him some hats. Each hat symbolizes a phase in his life. His navy blue pilot hat symbolized him being on autopilot. His white sailor hat symbolized him being lost at sea. So far, my favorite has been his bear hat. It symbolizes him being a wiley kid and just havin fun. His raccoon hat was the last one he wore. He has not yet talked about what it means to him. He hasn't worn a hat since he cut his hair.

Chris has had the same hair for his whole music career. Lots of his fans only like him because he's cute; his hair was a big part of that. He wants to be known for his music, not his looks. On May 15th, he got a mohawk. Although liquor inspired his decision, it was a good decision. Just before a performance in his hometown of Joplin, MO, called Boom Town Days, Chris cot his hair cut yet again. It is just hair. He titled one of his early pictures "fuck hair." because it doesn't make him who he is. It will weed out all of his fans that only liked him for his looks. I, however, will stand by him.

Another accessory he is never seen without are his bracelets. He only wears them on his left wrist. Every time you see him, he'll have more and/or different ones. He normally has many on at one time. Most are gifts from fans that are thrown to him while onstage. He shows how much he cares about his fans by wearing them.

His style is very unique. He is strongly influenced by the Bob Dylan and Beetles era. They influence everything he does; his music, style, mood, and behavior.

He is single. His favorite color is green; the color of life. He is 5'11". He is left-handed, but plays with his right. His gauges are 7/8 and he is planning on going to 1 inch. His least favorite song of his is "Trouble" and his favorite song is "On The Brightside". "Harmony" is another one of his favorites. He just writes songs to get emotions or thoughts out of his mind; not for money. He doesn't want to be famous-he hates cameras-although he would love for his music to touch as many people as possible. When he was offered a contract with Disney when he was 16, but turned it down because he's NOT A SELLOUT - people need to quit saying he is. He believes that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. He loves everyone and respects their beliefs. He does not go to church. He hasn't been since he got kicked out when he was 16. He does love his Jesus though He has a strict vegan diet. It was a little difficult to get used to, but now his body feels great! Also; it keeps him slim, hah. Being vegan on tour has been hard, so he has gone back to vegetarianism for now. He has an apartment in Joplin where he lives with one of his best friends; Carter Hulsey. His mom has moved into his room since his parent's divorce; he sleeps on the living room floor. He even recently bid on a house in Joplin. He loves talking to his fans and loves to hear how we view life and such. He loves the people that have enough guts to come and converse like regular people with him. He got a live band so he could take some of his best friends on tour with him. It makes the whole experience a little more fun. He knows some of us hate it, but you haters have to understand that he does what makes him and his best friends happy. Not you. He is 100% straight. He has been called gay ever since he started playing music. I guess he does come off that way (high voice, tight clothes, girly hair, lol). He assures us though, that he loves himself some lady. He has had the same girlfriend for about 2 and a half years on and off-they have officially broken up since Jan or Feb '10. He changes with each day. He takes steps forward and back. He tries to grow like a tree, and hopes that he can reach his full potential by the end of this short life. Change is good, but growth is better He hopes to have a rebirth with this new album. He would love to put out this record under "christofer drew"; but he still needs to work out some logistics, hah. He has about thirty songs written and ready to record; but unfortunately…he must choose. The new sound is going to be a little more folk-driven. He is scheduled to record his new album this summer. Since he was about thirteen; he has always been a very heart-broken person. He mostly only listened to melancholy or depressing tunage. Although, as he started to get a couple more years on him, he started to develop a love for feel-good music. He thinks in a sense; it fills the void. He just wants to create music that makes people feel. It doesn't always have to be happy, but he always wants there to be emotion behind the music. He can't completely speak for his family; but at first, they were a little more startled than anything. He literally dropped out of high school out of nowhere and hit the road. He got kicked out of his house for a little bit, but as his parents saw that he was genuinely working towards a goal; they happily welcomed him back. As of now, his family is unbelievably supportive. He misses them everyday, and hopes that he can make them proud. At the moment, he is completely single and not looking; just waiting for love to naturally occur. If he was looking...he is attracted to girls that he can't figure out. Also, he loves a girl that smiles. He likes brunettes, but doesn't really care as long as they are just as smelly and happy and loving as he is. The reason he practices positivity is because there is no reason not to. This life is literally exactly what you make it. You can look up, or you can look down. He chooses to always look up. He smiles instead of frowns.

Christofer Drew is an inspirational guy. He is a role model in so many ways even though he doesn't think so. He has been through what so many other teens have been through and has learned from it. He tries to spread peace and love to everyone that will listen. He is so REAL with his fans and doesn't hide anything. That way, we know who he is as a person. He lets us all in and shares what's in his brain on a normal basis.

My favorite thing is to go where I've never been.  
             - LOVING ART -
   
3 easy ways to appreciate ART <3:

      Step 1

      Check out your local art scene to get a sense of what's available. Browse through the arts section of the newspaper for reviews and calendar listings to see what's going on around you. Numerous gallery events, museum shows, performances and tours are available in most areas. Pick two or three to attend with a friend.

      Step 2

      Look for art that you immediately love or that makes you wonder. Ask questions of the people who work at the event to become better educated about what you're seeing. Discuss the art with your companions or other attendees to see what they think and then try to form your own opinion.

      Step 3

      Focus on one of the types of art and become an expert. Find out about popular artists in that genre from friends and books. Attend lectures or classes and get to know the other people who attend, sharing your common interest in the field.

     

*******************************************************************************************************

"In art the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can inspire"

Of course, there will always be
those who look only at technique, who ask "how,"
while others of a more curious nature will ask "why."
Personally, I have always preferred
inspiration to information.

-Man Ray
