Doodling Vs Drawing
Doodling is to the [artist] what stream-of-consciousness is to the writer.
~Alvalyn Lundgren, Alvalyn Studio
Doodle or Art?
Great question!
It has both the aspects that Alvalyn Lundgren’s article describes. It had no real purpose. It doesn’t need to depict anything like a person. There was no pressure to perform, but it is meaningful, and a drawing that does communicate. Not sure how well or not. It is merely a series of marks. They are playful, geometric, linear, shaded, or whatever. It is a question I am interested in considering.
I will go with automatic drawing with thoughtful consideration. Thus, art.
Process, Product or Both?
A process is a series of steps designed to lead to a particular outcome or goal. It is exploration, a journey, it is fluid, dynamic. A product is the outcome or goal of a process. It is static, solid, fixed in a single moment, a snapshot, usually an artifact created through that process.

Process or Product?
I think for most artists, it should be the same. Each stroke informs the next. Each piece of work informs the next, but remember the key is paying attention.
