I love Gemma Correll's illustrations and am happy that I can now attempt to recreate her style thanks to this book.

Doodled Cats: Dozens of clever doodling exercises and ideas for Cat People by Gemma Correll is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. This is such a fun book for any age. Lots of cartoon cats, just being their proud selves, and lots of fun facts about cats and cat owners, LOL. This also shows the reader how to make these cute cats, the accessories, and more yourself. It is a delightful book that will bring out the doodler in everyone. So cute!

Fun and easy. I’ve used this book to design a little cat motif for each of my cat loving friends. I’ll use these to illustrate cards and email I send with the cats reflecting the topic of conversation. Seek out the dog version of this book too!

I happened to receive this ARC right before a long car trip. I have to thank Ms. Correll for a much smoother ride as Doodled Cats kept my son busy for hours. He loved learning to draw all the different breeds of cats. Highly recommended!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Absolutely lovely, would make a great gift for any cat lover!!

Gemma Correll’s style is a delight. The tips and promps are simple but fun. Overall, great book.

DOODLED CATS is one of my new faves, with scads of exercises for artists — or artist wannabes — who love kitties. I fall into both categories and am enamored of this sweet book which also shows you how to “cat doodle” a mug. What fun lies ahead! The author Gemma Correll is a social media mega star and this darling book demonstrates why. 5/5

Thanks to the author, Quarto Publishing Group - Walter Foster, and NetGalley for the review copy, in exchange for my honest opinions.

Loved this book tons of easy to follow drawing instructions that any one can do.  There are a lot of great information about different pens and fun questionnaires about the cats in your life.

The first part of this book are things like random cat facts, how to know you’re a cat person, etc. Honestly I mostly skimmed this section because while the silly lists and facts were cute, they, weren’t what I wanted the book forr - I wanted doodles. In fact this section made me a bit nervous that I would end up not liking the book.

The rest of the book is a mix of cat doodles and instructions for how to doodle them yourself. When I finally got to this section, I became much happier with the book. The doodle tips definitely helped me. I’ve struggled with how to doodle kitty bodies and while I am no pro now, I do feel more confident that I can at least doodle some basic cats in different positions now.

I got and read both this and the dog version at the same time. For those of you who are both cat and dog people or who just want a book about doodling them, you will find some repeated content. There’s a section of doodles about dogs and cats that is identical in the two books. Even a project in the book (doodling on a coffee mug) is esentially identical (cat or dog stretched out around the mug with way too many legs).

I liked the instructional aspect of the book better than the stuff that felt like filler. This would be a very short book without it, so I see why it’s there. I just would have preferred those pages be used for more tips and tricks. Personal preference though.

A wonderfully fun step=by-step drawing guide, packed with ideas and humour. Well worth a look for a doodling cat person.

Are you a cat person? You will fall in love with this book if you love to doodle too. Illustrations are basic so any age can use them for their entertainment. You can then use these doodles to make your cat into a different characters too. I found it to be a great stress-reducer in addition to a time-killer.

Kind of cute book, kids would probably love it, and adults could use it for ideas for cards or just playing around with pen, pencil or marker. If you like cats a lot this is probably something that would appeal. I think it is sweet and my grandchildren would certainly use it.

Doodled Cats is a fun art book by Gemma Correl. The book delivers exactly what it promises; doodled cats. It includes everything from funny comics by the author to fun tutorials, guides, and prompts. I enjoyed the comics by the artist so much that I rather wish there were a few more of those, to be honest.
This is a fun and quick guide, but it includes many unique ways of getting a person to think different about doodles. From half-finished works the reader is supposed to finish, to silly prompts and ideas. They made the whole thing fun, while still being informative. I probably don’t need to point out how difficult that would be to balance out.
I think for me, my favorite chapter would have to be the third chapter, appropriately titled ‘it’s a cat world.’ It has cats in funny clothing, anthropomorphized cats, cats & dogs together, and so much more. It had me giggling at more than one point, which I suspect was the author’s goal.
If you’re looking for an art book that’ll help you relax and let yourself doodle, then this is the perfect book for you. Especially if you love cats, but that was probably obvious, wasn’t it?

This is a fun, interactive book which would make a great gift for a kid who enjoys drawing or a cat lover of any age. It's full of Gemma Correll's unique, quirky style.

Doodled Cats is a new book by Gemma Correll, author and illustrator of Doodled Dogs. Similar to Doodled Dogs, it starts with suggestions for the tools you will need to draw (basically just pens), a place to stick in a picture of your own cat if you have one, and some facts about cats.

Then there are examples of different cat expressions and step by step instructions on how to draw cats in different positions, such as curled up, standing or stretching. There are templates to fill in with patterns and suggestions of different accessories and outfits to draw on your cats.
While this drawing book isn't marketed as for children, my children, aged 6 and 9, wanted to try out some of the drawing prompts and the instructions were simple enough for them to follow.

Doodled Cats is a cute book which could provide hours of fun drawing and coming up with new characters and designs. It would make a great gift for any cat lover.

Doodled Cats by Gemma Correll is an excellent book for the cat lover in your life. I consider it more a fun book to read rather than a book to teach you to draw cats. The instructions for doodling are few and basic. It does include plenty of ideas for those who are artistically inclined. It is a lovely cat focused book and would make a great gift.

This book is a guidebook and journal about cats. It will help you doodle different cat faces and cat shapes as well as offers you room to journal about your cat.

Step-by-step practice sections and cat doodle templates make it easy to start doodling your own cats.

Doodled Cats is a companion book to Doodled Dogs, released 26th June, 2018 from author Gemma Correll and published by Quarto Publishing - Walter Foster. At 160 pages and 6x7", it's small and compact and good for purse or backpack for those meetings or lectures that call for a little doodling escapism.

For those unfamiliar with author Gemma Correll's style (see the cover), it's quirky and a bit offbeat and oddly endearing. She has a large following on her blog and other social media platforms.

Anyhow, this book gives some tutorial guidance for doodling cats in all sorts of costumes and situations. It's not primarily a tutorial book, half the page content is given over to entertaining cat factoids and showcasing the author's drawings, but there are some step-by-step tutorial pages to give the would-be cat doodler (ca'doodler?) a very gentle nudge in the right direction.

One note; this book and the companion book about dog doodling have several pages which are identical to one another. I wasn't disappointed or annoyed, but having the exact same format in the same order with about 10% (+/-) of exatly the same page content is ever so slightly cheeky in my humble opinion.

Anyhow, for people who love doodling cats in amusing positions, this is a moderately cute book. Ditto the dog book. People who buy both will be supporting the artist author (and publisher) and that's not a bad thing.

Four stars, the world needs more lighthearted fun cartoons to hopefully distract us from the 'real world'.

This book leapt out at me immediately! The bright pink colour was very eye-catching and straight away I was interested! I love cats, having two of my own. Unfortunately, I’m not an artist, not even someone who can draw really! But, I do like to doodle!

This book begins with the supplies – it’s all pretty simple stuff and nothing more specialised than fine liner pens, marker pens, crayons and coloured pencils! The instructions tell you to follow the lines – red lines mean that’s the next part to be drawn, black lines are the parts you’ve already drawn. That’s about it really!

It’s full of funny little cat facts, figures and lists dotted in between the doodles. The examples given are varied, but I particularly liked the cat expressions! The instructions for each doodle are really simple and so easy to follow that I think even my cat could draw himself! At the back of the book are some cat templates for you to use so you can try out some of the examples in the book.

Fabulous book for all you doodlers, and if cats aren’t your thing I do believe there is the equivalent Doodled Dogs as well! I think you all now know what you will be getting for Christmas!

This is such a fun book, a great gift to a cat lover!
I like how the author has engaged the reader - you can add finish the drawings, add your own spin to it but also learn how to draw a cute cat :)

Very good introduction to Doodle as is the Doodled Dogs by the same author and the same publisher. The tutorials are illustrated and easy to reproduce. An excellent activity to try with friends and family.
