This document outlines a doodling exercise to develop design skills such as imagination, confidence, risk-taking, seeing possibilities, playfulness, and creativity. The exercise involves drawing simple objects from different angles, extracting patterns, merging patterns in different ways, reshaping designs, using symmetry, repetition in lines, and modifying designs by simplifying, complicating, sharpening, softening, adding tone and shading over a series of timed sessions. The goal is to move beyond skill-based design toward creativity.
