Maybe one should’t draw doodles at important meetings.
However, very few people in art teams I’ve worked with don’t exit meeting rooms with pages full of doodles and maybe a couple of notes.

My favourite doodle session is the recurring Monday Runescape Lead Artists meeting.
Ok it’s not an official doodle session, it’s more the occasion when the Art Manager and the leads of Animation, Characters, Environments, Concepts and UI meet to discuss ongoing and future projects, issues, ideas and such.

But it’s the most relaxed meeting of the week, the guys I work with are great, and when they start talking about nodes and flags polys then doodling ensues.

Last Monday I decided to take home a couple of them.
I also coloured one, as you can see below.
It’s just meh, something I did while watching the last two episodes of Prison Break Season two and packing for my holidays.
Anyway, there it is.

As I said, it’s not the best drawing in the world
The ship hasn’t got a proper design, there are barely any details, the clouds are crap and the sails are, well, average quality.

So, it won’t make it to my portfolio, but I think that as a Monday meeting doodle is more than enough.

By the way, I also took notes of course. They were just in another page.
