Craft-A-Doodle: 75 Creative Exercises from 18 Artists

By Lark Crafts
144 Pages (Paperback)
Date Published: August 6, 2013

Using a simple doodle as a starting point, 18 artists take you on an inspirational, crafty journey! Filled with inventive prompts designed to fuel the imagination, these 75 exercises motivate crafters to pick up a pencil, brush, or marker, and explore their artistic voice. From quick “try it” ideas using shapes and patterns to doodled portraits and contour drawings, these step-by-step projects are wild creative fun. The featured artists include Cori Dantini, who provides a “Recipe for a Face”; Flora Chang with innovative watercolor designs; and Teesha Moore who offers ideas for adding personality to doodled characters.

I doodle a lot and never did I realize there could be a science behind actually doodling.  Well not a science exactly but rather a way to make an everyday doodle in something more.  This book has 75 different creative exercises from 18 different artists to get you thinking outside the book of doodling.  Bye bye circle doodles or boring flower doodles, hello artwork!  From creating A Visual Diary to framing words there are so many great ideas in this book.  From simple exercises to more complex there are lots of Doodle Prompts of ideas, tips and lots of pictures!  Yes each page has pictures on because this is a book where pictures really help show off what the artist meant!  I love flipping through the book and obviously I am no artist.  This would be a great book though especially for any budding artist, young or old, or even an artist looking for new inspiration.  Think of this book as Sudoku for your crafty side of your brain!
BUY IT: You can buy Craft-A-Doodle: 75 Creative Exercises from 18 Artists at your local Walmart for $12.76 or look for it wherever books are sold.
