I spent much of my high school in art class. My original plan was to go to art school. A friend of mine and I would often just sit with charcoal and our sketchbooks and draw, listening to music.

Sometimes I miss the feeling that comes after you have been drawing for awhile.

I haven't drawn in years but now that my daughter is old enough to enjoy coloring, I find myself creating characters for her. I'll ask "You want me to draw a face"? She will say yes and then I draw each part and ask her what it is: Nose, ear, eyes etc. It's fun and it has me "doodling" again. It can be a very zen like experience.

I really enjoyed this video caio, his characters seem like they want to jump off the page in to animation. They remind of of the characters from Mary Poppins when they jump in to the street drawings.
