Fun and easy to draw for novice artists. This is a great book for doodling. Easy to use. Would make a great gift for preteens or other budding artists.

I love drawing but I am TERRIBLE at it. Doodle it all helped me take what meagre talents I have and draw better.

Plus it's a whole lot of fun!

I would like to thank NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this ebook.

Doodle It All
by Boutique-sha is a beautiful book for someone like me who would like to doodle more. It would also come in handy for someone starting to bullet journal as it is filled with pages and pages of doodle ideas.

This is a really fun book that would make a perfect gift. I loved the step by step instructions and the pages are full of ideas for doodling characters, scenes, objects and more!! A great pastime and lovely idea for kids and adults alike.

This was really cute! There were lots of really cute doodles of items and characters that were pretty easy to recreate and personalize. I'm not very artistic, but I was able to create some sweet little drawings by following the steps. This was really cute!

This was a really cute book. I liked that it started out VERY simple and then you worked up from there. Simple but effective.

There are so many kawaii and doodle books on the market, and my first thought was, "did we really need another one?" Well, whilst "need" may be slightly too strong a word, this book certainly adds many good things to the mix.

The layout is very clear and logical, with the drawings grouped into categories. This does result in a small amount of overlap - for example animals that appear in several sections - but different versions are presented to avoid straight repetition and, crucially, this layout means it can be used as a handy reference book.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the drawings are cute. Also included are some "special lessons" on ballpoint pen technique. This was a good idea in theory, but in fact they were somewhat over-simplistic ("try some cute color combinations"...)

My favourite parts were the "Around the World" section - which includes such diverse sub-categories as landmarks, animals, motifs and folk costumes - and the extensive section on borders and frames. The numbers and letters section was also a useful element that I have not seen covered in the same way in similar books.

All in all, an attractive and user-friendly book, ideally suited to those relatively new to this kind of doodling.

I have never been artistic when it comes to drawing, but I’ve always been interested in illustration and love comics. This year has been largely about making time for the things that matter to me, things I want to do, and as we wrap up 2020 and head into 2021, I want to try my hand at amateuring doodling, so this book seemed like a great start!

It was a good choice. This adorable book is a simple “how-to” on all sorts of cute drawings, and since its angle is doodling, you don’t need any experience or precision in drawing. A good no-pressure starter guide for sure. Plus, there’s tons of doodles in this book from cute people heads to food and more. It uses simple lines and shapes, which means even I can do it!

It’s out now, so if, like me, you’re taking some time this pandemic-filled year to explore your interests, try your hand at doodling, literally.

Well isn't this a lovely find?! I thought it may be just aimed at children, but it's not at all - it's suitable for all! My daughter (11) and I have really enjoyed looking through this and choosing different things to draw. Some of the drawings are very simple, but there are plenty of tricky ones with lots of details. Each illustration is broken down into a step-by-step guide so that you can see how to build it up. It is very clearly shown which is ideal for you if you feel overwhelmed - my daughter struggles with concentration but she didn't struggle at all with this book. I really enjoy this book and highly recommend it - nothing complex, no difficult or complex materials or tools - pen, paper, you're away!

This book is excellent for anyone who lacks drawing talents but loves to make doodles. The steps are easy and simple to follow but create amazing designs. This book is definitely one that I will be purchasing in the future.

This book has some nice doodles and ideas in it, some are easy enough but I felt there were a lot that were a bit tricky and a lot I couldn't see myself ever wanting or needing to doodle.

Some ideas were original, and I liked the frames section.
Overall a nice book.

This is a great book for budding artists! There are sooooo many characters and everyday objects that you can master very easily and then you can put your own spin on them too!

This book is just the cutest! Have you ever wanted to draw cute things for yourself or a child? This book is the perfect place to start. You don’t need prior art knowledge to be able to start. All of the tiny items are drawn in a simplified way using base shapes and they are super adorable. There are some stationary recommendations at the beginning of the book but really you only need a pen or pencil and a piece of paper to start. There are several topics that are shown: animals, people, food, kitchen utensils, household items, clothes, hobbies, vehicles and so on! Every little illustration is shown step-by-step. Just flipping through this book makes me want to grab a piece of paper and start drawing again! And my absolutele favorite are the special lessons at the end, we get some cute ideas for collage by using masking tapes. Recommended for all of your artsy needs! It would make a great gift for kids, especially if you end up drawing a bit together after opening the book.

I really am one of the worst people at drawing you can come across and my daughter is constantly basking me to draw things for her - especially animals!
I am pleased to say that with the simple instructions and step by step guides in this book, even I can draw animals and people actually know what it is!

The perfect book to help you doodle at a whole different level. Perfect to cure your boredom. Good book for any age. If you love to draw this is the perfect book for you

This is a lovely book, every page is a pleasure of color and nice shapes and doodles. Even though the drawings are extremely simple, all of them are fun to try. I loved it so much I think I will buy the printed edition. Many of us make little drawings here and there to release stress, to make a page pretty, to let your mind roam free...this books helps to widen your capabilities, specially when your drawing skills are less than zero. Perfect

This is a one stop book for all your doodling needs. I loved every page and doodle and my hands couldn't help but start doodling. The cute factor is maximum and all the doodles are made in simple easy to follow steps.

The best part of this book is that it is not just about doodling animals, birds or people, but also gives an understanding of color contrasts, combinations, shading etc. There are also interesting sections on seasonal art, zodiac signs, writing styles, borders and frames and special events.

I loved this book. It was so comprehensive and every page was inviting. I would recommend this for all ages.
