Hello, my name is Nada Ahmed,
and I'm a doodle addict. France

I'm an Egyptian poet and writer living in the south of France. Discovered doodling as a form of self-expression a few years ago and it changed my life. I had always thought I was bad at drawing and was intimidated by the practice, but now I'm confident enough to experiment with lines, patterns and contrast. My style varies between mandala patters and 3D effects.

I specialize in doodling, drawing, writing.

A pattern I saw while staring at the sun through my sunglasses.

This was my first trial with doodling in years. Done during the COVID lockdown, I was feeling lonely and anxious, and had only a piece of paper and one marker at hand. I smoked a joint and started drawing. I'm particularly proud of this one because it was completely intuitive and free-style, and it made me confident enough to keep doodling afterwards.

First attempt at humpback whales.

I initially wanted to draw a mandala but after outlining the big circles, I thought "why not add some texture?" and there you go. Experimenting with different shapes and shades always pays off.
