A Doodle is a Doodle-2

Some of you might remember a previous post on doodles. Now I'll share with you another doodle and a master drawing which is also explained in the previous post. I have oodles of doodles and master drawings.
Below is called "Duodenum Doodle" drawn with ink on Canson 11 x 14 acid free paper. This is only about half the drawing as I scanned it in and is too big for the scanner. I might add that this drawing is in no way indicative of an actual duodenum. It is just a doodle done to occupy my mind AND my hands. I've also added a nonsensical poem I just wrote about doodles.
What do doodles do?
Occupy the mind
to save you time
and keep you busy
when you’re in a tizzy
and your mind’s in a whir
and you think you’ll go stir
crazy as loon
below the full moon
when the weasel goes pop
you’re sure to stop
to doodle some more
in hopes the lore
will continue the fun
and you will run
for pen and paper
to scrap the scraper
and squiggle and dot
to stir up the plot
and scritch and scratch
and things like that
with circles and lines
and curves combine
to move about
there is no doubt....
that’s what doodles do.
The master drawing below is done with charcoal on 9 x 12 acid free paper. It is a copy of a drawing by Luca Signorelli (1445-1523) an Italian Renaissance painter.
Notice the 'S curve' of the figure? The S Curve is a traditional art concept in Ancient Greek sculpture and Roman sculpture where the figure's body and posture is depicted like a sinuous or serpentine "S".
