How this list was compiled: Original list written for Draw This Next on 2026-10-02: 60 small Valentine's Day doodles for a card, an envelope or a margin, each with the strokes that start it. Two groups are the day's own (hearts on Valentine things; love notes and envelopes) and every doodle is also marked easy, cute, detailed or for cards. The list is written for family, friends and classmates: it holds no couples. A plain heart and its variations (with an arrow, with wings, in a row) are not on this list, and fuller subjects are on this site's Valentine's Day drawing ideas; no doodle repeats a title from another list on this site. The date, February 14, and the custom of sending cards were read on 2026-10-02 in the Wikipedia article Valentine's Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_Day, CC BY-SA 4.0).
