index doodles - circular rainbow, cool

Index doodles! Hello! I don't know why I didn't do them for a while, but a few weeks I decided to start them again. These are super simple and good to do while listening and easy to start and stop - just circles in the forms of dots, small circles and large circles in a limited palette, but I really like the resulting patterns. Hopefully I can work on the warmer colors for a complete rainbow next!

Index doodles

I recently picked up a 59 cent package of blank index cards for doodling. After I was doodling on a piece of paper that I was also taking notes on during a meeting at work, I somehow ended up with a paper of doodles from a coworker and another coworker took my paper (with doodles & notes) and passed it to the doodle giving coworker. I protested and my paper was ripped in half and I got my notes back. I realized that something as simple as index cards would help alleviate this cross usage. So that's where I am.

Although I love the Pigma micron pens, I do sometimes wish there were more colors available. Then I discovered the Stabilo 88 fineline markers, which come in 30 colors. My mantra for pens is usually the thinner the tip the better, so the Stabilo 88's at .4mm are a compromise for the color variety in this manner, but they're still pretty nice. I approve! Also, considering you can get a set of 25 for under $15, they're also relatively cheap.

Anyway, that was a really long way of saying that I've been doodling on index cards with Stabilo fineline markers! Here's the first few cards in which I repeatedly explore the circle...:
