I often incorporate drawing into what I do for a living, and LOVE a good marker! Do you create any art in any way?

I like to draw or sketch with graphite  but I am not very good with it.

Graphite is a great medium -- I love the smudginess it can give. Do you experiment with different hardness to get varying effects? And what paper do you prefer?

I just use a normal pencil mostly because I just doodle.  I use just regular paper

Doodling is a *great* way to think! Have you ever looked into sketchnoting? It's a visual way to capture information, and makes listening a lot more interesting and fun.

I have never heard of that and will have to check it out.  I love the google doodle that they put on their homepage

Agreed! They have Doodler-in-Chief at Google who shepherds the process. You might want to check out "The Doodle Revolution", or any of Mike Rohde's books.

Interesting.  I will have to check it out.  I have the video game doodle jump on my phone
