Drawing In Textbooks Is Frowned Upon But When Doodles Are This Good, It’s Forgivable

We’ve all been there. We’re sitting in class waiting for the seemingly never-ending lecture to come to a close so the weekend can officially begin.

But rather than pay attention to what’s being said, one surefire way to pass the time is to take up doodling in your notebooks…or even your textbooks. Despite our teachers always warning us to never write, doodle, or so much as underline anything in our textbooks, I always felt a rebellious impulse to do so.

And while my doodles were never nothing more than stick figures and the occasional geometric pattern, these students transformed their textbooks into astonishing masterpieces. Here are 24 acts of textbook vandalism that are just too brilliant to hate.

These illustrators are really something. Maybe I should have spent less time trying to maintain my honor roll status and more time working on my art skills.
