You Want to Borrow My Notes?

I don't think you do. Unless you are a very visual person, then my notes aren't for you. All of these pictures were drawn during my British Literature class. I seriously tried to pay attention, but I just couldn't. So in between writing down Beowulf information, I doodled.

My Alice in Wonderlandesque drawing


Sometimes I would draw what I was drinking during class



We watched a Sir Gawian and the Green Knight movie and I couldn't stop thinking about the Jolly Green Giant!


Then I drew a Mexican

I call him Bat-skele-stein


I was so bored that I wrote out some of the lyrics to "Collide" by Howie Day

I noticed this Middle English dude on the front of my textbook and I just had to draw him. We were discussing The Canterbury Tales, so I obviously drew Darth Vader fighting him. Who doesn't connect Chaucer with light sabers??


Last but not least, I drew this picture of Sir Thomas Wyatt cheering on Johnny Damon of the Yankees. That's a beer in his hand. He knows how to celebrate!!


If any of you were worried about my grade in that class, don't be. I got a B!!

  3. Your doodles are hilarious :)

    I tend to scribble down little pictures during my Eng Lit classes too, like last week, we were discussing "A Midsummer Night's Dream" so I decided to draw a picture of Tatiana, which was brilliant by the way. I even included wings and a magic wand! :D

  5. I am glad I ran into your blog for two reasons:

    Reason,

    a) You're an English major with a focus on writing -- me too! :) Only, I still have two more years to go. But, I have not the first idea what kind of job I'll be getting, same as you.

    b) Your drawings cracked me up! I wish I could draw like that, even if it is just to doodle. I'd really like to learn how to paint...but anyway, that's off topic.

    I hope you've had a wonderful day, and that your week is splendid. :)

  10. Sir Thomas Wyatt a Yankees fan? Surely you jest! Love all the doodles though. Doodling is the best way to keep your mind occupied during a boring class. Mine all had the style of that first one though. They were all time and boredom centered.

  11. I might just love you. I would doodle a scene I thought appropriate from a song in my forestry classes. The two that come to mind are Wonderwall by Oasis and Innocent by Our Lady Peace. I would usually do things a little more out of left field, but those two I remember vividly. Those were the days.

  14. I am so jealous, you can write and draw (and probably have numerous other talents). I have no artistic talent whatsoever.
