THE RULES

So these are the rules and guidelines and clarification of purpose for Compulsive Doodlers Anonymous.

The sole purpose of Doodlers-Anon is just to make sure that not a day goes by that its members don't drawing something. The formation of habit is the key and only function of our group, and all that we will hold each other accountable to.

On a day to day basis these daily drawings will likely take the form of sketchbook-type stuff or just drawings & doodles done to satisfy our daily dedication to Doodlers-Anon. Real paid work, however, or schoolwork definitely count if that's the drawing you've done that day. One does not need to do extra work solely for Doodlers-Anon if it takes away from your regular work.

I would say that painting would qualify, or any sort of rendering of images with one's hands would do, and can be offered up, but not creating digital images or layout with a mouse, only because there's no physical practice exercising any natural hand-rendering skill in that. So if you've been clicking with a mouse all day, take a break and pick up a pen or pencil.

Posts are every Sunday, minimum of 7 images, put together or drawn separately, as long as you worked on something every day of the week. Doing make-ups the next day defeats the whole purpose of supporting the daily habit, so we're on the honor system, And everyone must come clean if they skipped a day.

Once again, the sole purpose is to be able to say that, yes, you draw every single day of your life. No matter where you are or what you're doing you make at least five minutes to dedicate an image to paper.
