Doodles are odd things. Even though they are a tool, good doodles can't be produced on command. A doodle must be formed and sculpted, but spontaneous at the same time. While I could parry this "doodling philosophy" into an extensive metaphor about how a man should be poised, prepared and yet totally extemporaneous, I will save that rant for another day.
Bottom line: Doodles have to flow organically. That is why my doodles (although the one below doesn't) often proceed from the material I am listening to. The doodle below is a gnomish fellow with a flamethrower- no relation to the lecture at all.
