These simple little cartoons that people scribble while they're chatting on the phone or listening to someone boring can also really improve a person's drawing skills. Just a few strokes-a rainbow arc, a wavy line, a small cone for a stem-make an acorn appear on the page. Complete the picture by giving it a smiley face and a "speech balloon" with some witty words inside. It's just a short jump from a single picture to a full-fledged comic strip.
I am 36 years old and I bought this for my kids, they love it, but I love it even more. It is very simple but it helps you make simple expressions or little doodles come to life. This is my favorite little doodling book!!!!!!!!!!
My kids fight over it.

I have two boys who love to copy the drawings from this book, and they fight over it all the time. I would get each of them a copy, but I think it would ruin the magic.
Doodle away, its good for you now...

This book is fairly new, and pretty fun for doodlers. Remember when you used to get in trouble for doodling in the margin as a kid, well we still do it now at work or while on the phone. Well, I do... Anyway it turns out that those simple little sketches and scribbles are big stuff now. Someone decided that it releases some sort of brain mumbo-jumbo and makles your thinking more creative. Whatever, I still think it's fun. Doodles are the first step to better art skills. This book helps you refine your doodles so they look better when someone else finds them. Also try the Ed Emberly books, "Make a World", and "The Big Green Drawing Book".
