These simple little cartoons that people scribble while they’re chatting on the phone or listening to someone boring can also really improve a person’s drawing skills. Just a few strokes—a rainbow arc, a wavy line, a small cone for a stem—make an acorn appear on the page. Complete the picture by giving it a smiley face and a “speech balloon” with some witty words inside. It’s just a short jump from a single picture to a full-fledged comic strip.

Doodle away, its good for you now...,
This review is from: Oodles of Doodles (Paperback)
This book is fairly new, and pretty fun for doodlers. Remember when you used to get in trouble for doodling in the margin as a kid, well we still do it now at work or while on the phone. Well, I do... Anyway it turns out that those simple little sketches and scribbles are big stuff now. Someone decided that it releases some sort of brain mumbo-jumbo and makles your thinking more creative. Whatever, I still think it's fun. Doodles are the first step to better art skills. This book helps you refine your doodles so they look better when someone else finds them. Also try the Ed Emberly books, "Make a World", and "The Big Green Drawing Book".

Smaller than expected,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oodles of Doodles (Paperback)
We have purchased other doodle books as gifts from bookstores. They were all larger, like a traditional coloring book. I did not pay close enough attention, I suppose, to the description for this book. It is about the size of a cd case. The price is lower than the other books, so this makes sense, but I was expecting more "real estate" for drawing. I suppose these will be easier for on-the-go doodling or stashing into a bag for travel and waiting rooms. I will describe it as such when I give it to the recipient.

oodles of doodles review,
This review is from: Oodles of Doodles (Paperback)
I am 36 years old and I bought this for my kids, they love it, but I love it even more. It is very simple but it helps you make simple expressions or little doodles come to life. This is my favorite little doodling book!!!!!!!!!!
