CONTENTS

Oodles of Doodles

Introduction:

Why Doodle?

You have most likely already been doodling for years. (Remember your

school notebooks?) But as it turns out, its not an impulse you should

suppress. This seemingly mindless activity has a ton of benefits:

Doodling can help you focus.

Seriously! Studies have shown

that it can help keep you in the moment, and that youll remember

more of what was going on while you doodled. So go ahead and

doodle on your notes during your next boring class or meeting. You

might just end up a better student or employee.

Doodling relieves stress.

And after all, its just a doodle; theres

no pressure to make it perfect.

Doodling leads to new ideas.

Creativity leads to more

creativity. You never know what connections you might make as

you draw them out.

Doodling can help improve your drawing skills.

Your piano

teacher was right: practice, practice, practice.

Introduction

How to Use This Book

Your doodles dont need to be museum

quality; the act is more important than

the outcome. But sometimes its hard to

interpret a three-dimensional object in

two dimensions. This collection is here

for your practice and inspiration. First,

find something that resonates with you.

(Hearts? .

Food? Same here! .) Then

grab a notebook and something to write

with. The doodles in this book were done

with pencils, pens, gel pens, paint pens,

markers, and more; whatever you have

on hand is fine. Then go for it: put pen

to paper and draw your doodle. Draw

it a few times. What does it look like if

you add more details to it? What does it

look like if you draw it with a different

medium? What if you add texture or

change the colors?

How to Use These Doodles

Fill up your sketchbook or

journal.

Give yourself the space you

need for brainstorming, reflecting,

unwinding, and simply playing.

Illustrate your planner.

Motivate

yourself with all manner of banners

(), and

doodles of your goals, whether theyre

fitness-related (), financial

(), or anything else.

Decorate the margins.

Doodling

during the meeting or phone call can

actually help you pay attention, and

who knows! It may also inspire your

next big idea.

Personalize gifts and letters.

We

dont handwrite much these days, so

when you do, make it special. Use a

doodle alphabet () to

write your friends name, add a border

() to the note you leave

on your coworkers desk, or cover the

outside of a gift card envelope with

doodles of what it will buy.

Craft away.

These doodles dont just

work on paper. You can use them on

whatever craft projects youre busy

with, from mason jars to wooden signs

to scrapbooking and card making.

And be creative!

Doodle here,

there, and everywhere you can fit a

handmade moment into your life.
