Artist's views of Drawing and is this related to doodling?

Starting off with the book 'What is Drawing' Ed. Kingston, A (2003) 
When you seriously think about how different drawing an doodling is, is it that different? Are can as an artist myself say that they can be interpret the same?


Gunning, interviewed by Michael Ginsborg, talks about drawing being simultaneously a trace of events and a state of imminence: it is her attitude, and ultimately what happens within and through her work, that defines her drawing - rather than the material she uses. (Ed. Kingston, A 2003:pg17) 
Here shows an immediate connection between the thinking, sensing and showing. What then is the difference between this and doodling?


Taking this confusion further I am going to research the route to all doodlism's.
Doodle history goes back to the beginning of time, when abstract drawings were used to communicate and keep records. doodle-art-alley.com (2008)
How has this changed? ... absolutely nothing through time!
