DOODLE ART HANDBOOK: The Non-Artist’s Guide in Creative Drawing Kindle Edition

I got the Kindle version and I was going along fine until I hit the advanced group of tangles - the instructions for half of them are missing. Except for that, I really enjoyed the book and got some good new ideas from it.Edited ... I went back and realized it wasn't just the advanced and expert chapters that were missing a bunch of instructions, but every chapter had tangles shown on the first page of the chapter that there were no instructions for.

I got this book to use for lesson plan ideas. Many children are super stressed about Covid-19. My students love it and tell me they feel better concentrating on drawing patterns. Our principal sat in on one of the lessons and was so impressed with this book, I felt I needed to buy a copy of it for her. She was very happy. She said that she too feels less stressed while drawing doodle art. Granted, there are some doodles that are more enjoyable to draw then others. It is so funny that some doodles some students do not enjoy, others are in love with. Everyone is different. I felt sad reading the feedback from a couple people upset because not every doodle is demonstrated and the drawing demonstrations are not detailed. The kids do not need every single thing demonstrated to catch on and created their own world of doodles. This is a fantastic book that encourages unique creativity and stress relief and I highly recommend it!

Well, I read this book out of curiosity and because I wanted to learn more about doodling.In general, I would say this is a well written entertaining and helpful finding for those who are interested in art and in "zendoodling" in particular. The book has some strong and weak parts. I tried to make a fair review of them all. Here we go.PROS+ Lessons start right after the introduction. The book has basic patterns, step by step instructions, guidelines and shading. There is no need to get twenty books for the same information. Massive value for the contents. So you don't need a series of other books.+ I love some illustrations, especially animals like a lion or an owl. They are really cute. One day I will draw a better one lol.+ Good for beginners and intermediate level. I found the simple patterns really easy to reproduce. Step by step guidances are easy to repeat and well described.+ Advanced drawing. Once you are good enough (not my case yet, but still) - expert level patterns, optics illusions and shadowing look pretty neat, which usually many books don't show. Moreover, while reading even beginners can try and actually draw some really outstanding pics.+ It is not just a book about seeing and doodling, it is a book about our MENTAL HEALTH. It tells how to get rid of the stress and relax while you draw something. Authors give a lot of advises how to start your first doodle project , how to express yourself, how to relax and get advantages and satisfaction from drawing.+ I love the MAIN RULE of this book - You can draw anything and in the end it doesn't matter what your drawing looks like-or doesn't look like! What's important is the act of drawing itself. Opening your eyes and your heart to the world around you is the main idea of this book, as I see it.+ Despite the fact that nowadays many books push you to buy something or attend their courses, this book helps you to open up certain avenues of your soul, express yourself through doodling and be more creative, without any hidden advertising.+ Inspiration gallery is really fun. My favorite is a small girl's picture, I can't imagine that she is so young to draw like this.CONS- I am not sure if there are any colored pictures. There could be something, although many Kindles are black and white.- There is no option to buy a printed version of this book. That’s disappointing. I would buy one for my mom, as she doesn’t feel comfortable with electronic devices.- Sometimes it's too much theory and discussions about what is doodling and what is not. Frankly, I skipped some chunks of text. But this is my point.Concluding, this is a solid book teaching exactly what I was looking for. For all folks who are in doodle art I would recommend it with no doubt.Thank you.

Doodle Art Handbook is neat.Everyone knows about doodling. We all have done it while on a conference call or trying to remember something. Who would have thought that my little doodles could really turn into a something besides a post it note scribble. I still don't think they can but this book tries to teach me they can. Doodle Art Handbook is a book that starts with introducing what doodling is and lets us know that there are different types of doodling. It walks you step by step through the multiple techniques to create a larger piece of art. I didn't know there were different levels all the way up to expert. Expert to me looks like a coloring page or something but not doodles. Either way the book was interesting and I learned something new. If you are thinking about learning how to turn your post it note desk art into something beautiful this might be the book for you..maybe. I still haven't mastered doodling but maybe you can!

This has been one of my favorite coloring books by far I love the designs. Each page is complex but easy enough to complete in one sitting. I have nearly completed the book and will buy some of the other books in this series. One thing about this book is the paper is really nice with a smooth texture that takes ink really smoothly with full coverage without requiring going over multiple times. The pages are perforated so they can be removed and used as journal pages or framed. I use markers and unfortunately they bleed through the page so the reverse of the page is dotted up with bleed-through but there isn't much help for that. Also, the designs are all different but have similar design elements from page to page so the lack of variety in the details might not appeal to some, Otherwise I love the book myself and highly recommend it. I used a wide variety of pens - sharpies, color pencils and gel pens.

For £11.29, this book is so not worth it. 162 pages and only 95 of those pages are actually relevant to what you are looking for. Basic, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert. Between 8-11 pages for each level. It shows twelve patterns for each level but in reality you only get step by step instructions on how to draw 5. Not only that but the step by step animal drawings aren’t really step by step. It’s more jump two steps. Maybe it’s just me, but it feels very poorly put together, with some unwanted writing that you have no interest in, especially when it gets to page 111 - 162 that talks about doodle art for meditation and stress relief. They could have used those pages to do the rest of the step by step patterns they missed out on. And could have even done more in depth step by step for the animals. Cause I’m truth those random animal drawings feel like someone just delete parts of something that was already drawn and hope for the best. Again. You’d feel bad you can’t draw as well as what they show. In all I would recommend people avoid this book unless you’ve been doodling and drawing for a while. Sorry

Great book for any level, giving step by step detail and great explanations. The end of the book also shows examples of how to apply the doodle art.

Great book for learning doodle art. The instructions are easy to follow and are separated into chapters, ie, beginner, expert ..... Would recommend this book for anyone starting out. It also covers shading and drawing of animals, flowers etc. Great book

If you want to know how to do and the history behind doodle art then this is the book for you

If you think you can't draw, this will teach you a style if drawing anyone can do, which is calming and satisfying
