Doodling is "easy" but are your doodles as cut as you wished??

With Doodle it All, that is a question of the past. This colourfully book will provide you with the basics to make the best doodles ever!

Starting with a comprehensive list of materials to use (pencil, colors, pens and types of paper) and a step by step how to technic, the reader (or artist) will advance amazingly fast throughout the different levels of Doodle complexity.

A book fit for all ages!

ARC for this books was provided free by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute book with a lot of different types of characters to draw. I am not an artist, so this is a perfect beginner book for me. It is very basic, though, and would make a great beginner doodling book or children’s book. The author walks you through some basics and the different types of pens to use before diving into the doodles. I especially enjoyed how to take a simple doodle, like a cat, and tweak it slightly to make several different types of cats.

I did notice some typos and the formatting was way off. This ebook does not translate well onto an iPad. I found it very difficult to read and follow. I’m sure it makes a really cute book, but definitely not an ebook. Thank you to Netgalley for the providing me an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Doodle Away the Day
Doodle It All is filled page to page with a large variety of easy to draw doodles. From animals, to people, food, and flowers there are a lot of doodles to learn in this book. This is a very accessible drawing book, as the doodles use simple shapes, and coloring techniques. Each doodle is broken down to show each shape as they build into a recognizable design. The doodle designs as a whole do not share the same style, as some designs are more childlike than others. In the same way, some doodle designs come out more recognizable than others. Also, some of the designs are reiterated with different details or with a different perspective. The written descriptions are brief clues to understanding the shapes of the doodle. Though, quite a few of the doodles have no instruction at all. This would have been a stronger doodle book if the designs were consistent, with a more instructive dialogue on how doodles are designed. Over all, this is a fun and stress-free doodle book, with a lot of creative content.

Nice book for beginners. My ten year old daughter enjoyed looking through this review copy. She was easily able to follow along and replicate illustrations with the easy to follow directions and images.

Very cute and easy for kids to learn to doodle. Very amenable to them due to the colors. Will improve their observation skills.

I doodled along with this while listening to some audiobooks. I’ve never been a great drawer but these were perfect basic sketches to get me through. I can now draw llamas, dogs, and penguins that actually look like said animal. With more practice I can memorize all that’s in here

Well this is a quirky book! I think it’s great. Jammed full of super cute drawings and doodles with instructions on how to recreate them. Lots of advice on pens and pencils and the different effects you can make.
This would make a super gift for a young person who has maybe started journaling.

This title is very cute and will be loved by doodlers.  Learn to draw in many categories including animals, people, food, flowers & plants, around the house and more.   The book begins with lots of information about ballpoint pens (a lot more than I had guessed that there was to know here)  and drawing materials before going into how to make the many objects included within.  The end of the book has a section on "special lessons" should a reader want to learn more techniques.  Throughout are adorable doodles that I know that I will enjoy creating.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

Easy to follow instructions to help elevate your doodles. I found this helpful and well organized. This is a very basic guide. If you’re looking for more in depth drawing instructions this isn’t your book. But if you just want to mess around and make cute doodles this will help you achieve that.

I liked this book. You will find a part about ball-point pens in it, tips on color combinations and coloring techniques, and of course many illustrations you can learn to draw. This book is a simple step-by-step guide to drawing various animals, people, food & drink, plants & flowers, and more.

It is an excellent book for children, but it is also suitable for some beginner adults who are interested in this style and want to learn some basics.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this! All opinions are my own.

What a fresh, friendly, and accessible little book.

The dog variations and breeds were a particular highlight.

Decorative lines, frames, borders are super useful.

Love the creative way they credit all the artists in the end.

I really nice book for a younger child looking into get past the chicken scratches. This has very simple and easy to follow instruction for many many objects. The illustrations and bright and engaging. Most of the doodles are very easy to do so there is no barrier to entry. This can almost be called a encyclopedia of doodles for the amount of doodles it has. Its definitely targeted for someone younger and could be a nice present. I did have trouble with downloading this book onto my kindle.

Kindle version is a bit all over the place and hard to follow, especially for a young child. It did have a cute variety of doodles though. Thank you!

I honestly loved this book, I am a rubbish drawer and over the last week I have gone through the book and then selected a few pages at random. I won't profess that my drawings are perfect but the illustrations in the book are perfect and laid out to be easy to follow....I look forward to the release of this book and have suggested it to a few of my crafting friends

Doodle it All is a fun little book showing you how to creatively doodle starting off with simple objects and animals along with a variety of other things. The doodles are very easy to follow and fun doodling is not meant to be major works of art just simple ways to unwind and express creativity. This book is perfect for that and would be wonderful for younger children or anyone wishing to just have a bit of fun.

I received this book via NetGalley for an honest review.

Not quite what I was expecting. My copy of the eARC had a lot of words missing. Luckily the doodles are easy enough to follow along with. Also, the images seem as though they were just scanned in, making it a bit lackluster. I understand it’s not the finished copy, but it doesn’t make me want to buy the book.
