I think my doodles have changed in recent times. Used to be I’d just draw random little stuff—rocketships; comets or fireballs based on the holes punched into the paper; random geometric stuff. One time in ninth grade I filled the side margin (at least) of a sheet of paper I had to turn in in with drawings and got a note from the teacher telling me not to do that again because she was “not the art teacher”. At the time I was rather angry at this. In hindsight, it was stupid of me to have been so mad.
I think my doodling has been dramatically cut back of late. Mostly when I do doodle now it’s geometric shapes and related stuff. I tend to write Arabic words now instead of doodle, and not in the normal handwriting style—I tend to write in full-out Neskhi script (though I do not always include the short vowels). I also draw sometimes stuff for class—this is especially common in classes on syntax where I have to draw trees or other diagrams.
