More Zentangles!
Zentangles are becoming really popular in the art world - they are spreading their tentacles and curlicues far and wide thanks to the internet and lots of creative people. However, you don't have to be an artist to create these varied and complicated-looking doodles.
I have gathered a selection of links and resources for you to enjoy and, hopefully, encourage you to pick up a pen and have a go.
Be careful though - it's an addictive habit!
The Zentangle® art form and method was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. Zentangle® is a registered trademark of Zentangle, Inc. Learn more at zentangle.com.

Reviewer, Alyce Schwenn says, "I've been tangling for awhile. I anxiously awaited this book and was not disappointed. I cannot draw, but after following the step by step instructions, I was amazed at my results. My husband didn't believe what I was able to do. The instructions for shading were really helpful also. I find tangling very relaxing and look forward to seeing what I'll accomplish with practice. You won't be disappointed with this book."

- Just added this as a lens roll to my Dilettante or Renaissance Soul.
But how amazing, I was doing this sort of drawing years ago and had no idea it had a name :) and how lovely to see it is now becoming so popular.

Amazon Price: $9.99 (as of 02/15/2012)
Zentangle is meditation achieved through pattern-making. It is a complicated looking drawing that is built one line at a time. Simple tangles, or patterns, are combined in an unplanned way that grows and changes in amazing directions. With your mind engaged in drawing, your body relaxes.
Something different?
Doodling for Papercrafters
Doodling for Papercrafters (Leisure Arts #4313)
Amazon Price: $13.21 (as of 02/15/2012)
Doodling is the hottest thing in scrapbooking and Maelynn Cheung is all over it. Her book gives step-by-step, fear-banishing instructions for putting your unique mark on all your papercraft projects. You'll learn different doodling techniques and designs, what tools are necessary (and what aren't, but are a lot of fun), and how to easily adjust your handwriting to make it more artsy. And if the idea of taking a pen to one of your pages makes you nervous, just wait until you get a look at all the projects inside. Each of these fantastic doodling designs was created--not by professional in-house designers--but by actual papercrafters just like you.
