I don't, but I understand the compulsion - I'm always drawing and doodling on margins, faces and human figures and spaceships and whatever takes my mind at the time. Can't curb it.
Well at least that's a somewhat more creative distraction, the only phrase I can think of to describe how doing this makes me feel is that it makes my brain itch.

Goodness help me if I shade over the boundaries of a letter, that drives me nuts. :rolling:

I have this odd habit of folding cats, everytime I see a cat I have to fold it.
Wait, wut? :|
 
Whenever I'm around a group of white people I always get the urge to hang them all. From a tree. With razor wire. While singing "Hello Dolly!".
 
Anything with spaces meaning
A,O,B,D,R,P,Q,6,8,9,0
 
I would either shade the text on my folders, shade the deges or doodle on them (even though we're supposed to keep the clean and tidy; no one bothers with that).
 
i shade pretty much anything that is enclosed on the paper. I also shade everything outside it too.
 
I do it all the time, but uh... Not as thoroughly as you.

I usually just outline entire words when i've got the time to do it. There's really no selection process, some words just look like they need a few more lines :/
 
One thing I used to do, but haven't done in a while is imagining a stream of water (and drawing the stream) coming down from the top of the page. When it hits the letters I draw how it flows around it. I once did it for an entire page and the stream had divided up into about 50 streams by the end. Took me ages.
 
Sometimes if the tacher goes on and on and on about something not even related to what we're studying.
But mostly, no. I think it looks stupid.
