DOGlightful Doodlescapes: A Coloring and Sketch Book with Dog Paw Mandala Design Prompts for Those Who Prefer to Run Wild and Free to Forge Thei

You know how excited dogs get when you let them off the leash and they run through freshly fallen snow? Or zoom along a shoreline splashing water as they go? Or tear across a meadow? Or kick up their feet rolling in the fallen leaves? Or dig like crazy in the dirt just for the sheer joy of throwing it everywhere?

Ever get the urge to run wildly unfettered and happy like your dog?

At Big Black Dog Studio, we totally get the desire (and need ) to let loose and run without constraints while our imagination takes on us a wildly enjoyable ride of creativity.

DOGlightful Doodlescapes is minimalist as far as coloring books go yet loaded with possibilities as far as sketchbooks go. This collection of dog paw mandalas from our 2020 Dog Lover Planners is your starting point for combining both the joy of doodling and embellishing with the joy of coloring. Been practicing your Zentangle(R)-inspired techniques? Depth and illusion techniques? Random or repeating patterns? Shading and blending? Here's your chance to break out those new graphite, charcoal or colored pencils and get crazy

60 of our original dog paw mandalas are included in this doodlescape collection as design prompts that let those who don't like to be kept as tightly on the leash as most adult coloring books keep you. Here, feel free to run wild and free to add plenty of your own touches to our design prompts.

Pencils or other non-wet media are highly recommended; otherwise, be sure to put a piece of cardboard behind the designs if you work with gel pens or markers. A pale grey pawprint wallpaper page follows each design to avoid any problems with bleed-through.

Be sure to post your finished compositions to our Studio's Facebook page or tag your Instagram photos with #BigBlackDogStudio, #DOGlightful and #doodlescapes. Want more weekly doodles?
