Remember those abstract sketches, which usually indulge in boring lessons or lectures? It turns out that it has a name - doodle art, or dudling, which means "the art of karakul».

In this article Website introduces you to a variety of this area as a "double dudling" or the art of drawing with both hands.







Hal Gene in his article on The Artful Parent describes the process of drawing such a way.

You will need:

Paper. Duct tape (optional). 2 pen or pen 2 per person.





How it works:

The whole process is that you draw with both hands simultaneously, creating a symmetrical "mirror" picture.

As described in the book «The Artful Year»:

«Keeping both hands on the markers, put them next to the tips, at one point in the center of the paper. Start drawing the two markers simultaneously, creating a "mirror" image. For example, when the left hand moves to the left edge of the paper, the right should move to the right edge. And when left pen moves to the center, and right then, too, must move to the same point. » Em>

Note: if you need to, so that the paper does not move while you draw, you can use an adhesive tape and glue the edge of the table.
