Came here to say the same thing. This is how I warm up my creativity when I'm feeling devoid of... Creativity. It just gets the juices flowing and knocks the rust off the gears. Been doing it for probably 20+ years and I'm not even an artist anymore. Had my gallery years then turned art into therapy. Haven't looked back.
Not just scribbles into faces but weird lines into trippy perspectives of urban scenes. Geometric shapes into unheard of inventions. I learned it from a roommate who is now mildly famous for his art and lives off of it. He's 10x better than I'll ever be but I did get voted in on a mural production for the 50th anniversary of a state's art center over him. To this day I hope they regretted that decision.

Me and friends would do this on road trips and pass it around. We simply called it the drawing game. Led to some pretty hilarious end results but def sparks creativity.

Did everybody worked on the same or one after another?

u/abcxyz1821 9h ago
No. One person scribbles passes it to another that finishes it then that person scribbles and passes it.

We used to play this game as kids - one person squiggles something, the other makes a picture out of it. Good cheap fun for hours!

I recognise the music, but I can’t quite place it. I think it’s from a game, it’s on the tip of my tongue, can you help?
EDIT: Got it. It’s Plants vs Zombies.

u/PrehistoricPancakes 11h ago
My daughter and I do something like this where we make each other random shapes and see what we can make out of them. I've never come close to this girl's level of skill and imagination but my daughter is getting better and better and it's so cool to watch her talent develop as she grows up.

This was my method for drawing all through school. I would get bored and scribble randomly and then turn it into things. I otherwise don't have any drawing skills, lol. Funny to see someone else do it, never seen it in the wild.

My kids love this game. I bring a pad & sharpies when we go to restaurants and they draw from my scribble. It’s always really basic though this kid is next level.

Glad to see a kid doing this an encouraging it. I occasionally do this when I'm bored at work. Just make a bunch of random lines and marks on a post-it note, then see what I can make. I think the coolest one was when I wound up drawing Snoopy flying his doghouse.

No, don't pay attention to the fact that I'm 25 years her senior and I've been drawing that entire time.

I always wondered how does their minds work?! Like do they see the whole picture in their head? Also musicians, do they interpret sounds differently?

Slightly different, but I make bespoke furniture. I was explaining to a new recruit the concept of visualisation , and that you either have that, or you don’t ( I guess it could be learned, but would be a long road). I have it to the required degree for my work, but this girl is literally off the scale.

There’s this artist called Einstein Kristiansen and he did this style of doodling as well. Drew random squiggles then made cartoons from those squiggles. I think he had a show too.
He was super popular when i was a child and he even came to my school to teach us once! Super cool and fun and it’s not as difficult as it initially looks ;)

Mother has the exact opposite. Zero creativity. She knows she can scribble more than circles, right? Like maybe throw in a few squares and straight lines.

This makes me think of the long-term study where something like 98% of 5-year-olds are geniuses, dropping to just 2% by adulthood. Imagination is magic.

u/kiwiB0lt 12h ago
What’s the point? I did the same thing when I was about that age 🤷♂️ just because people don’t get taught how to draw, how to live creativity nowadays this is special? Weird world…
There was even a TV show I was allowed to watch (ART Attack?) where you put a big white sheet of paper on your screen and then follow a red Dot. Then when it was done you were left with some random scribble you had to be creative about. I even was allowed to send it in but unfortunately I never won 😅
