If you love to doodle this is definitely the book for you. Great for any age because who doesn't like doodling. Personally I like doing it while I'm on the phone. This book shows you doodling at its best and most fun.

Fantastic book on doodling. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to doodle to relax. Kids would also love thus book it would make a great gift!

A fun book on doodling, with great tips for beginners to draw certain objects from basic shapes. I've always wanted to learn to draw and wish I had something like this in my younger days. But it's never too late, because it definitely works for anyone no matter what age! Thanks to all involved for allowing me to read and review this creative book that works for so many different projects or to learn to draw.

100 drawings for doodling and journaling. It looks like a coloring book which I really liked. The doodles are simple enough someone like me who isn't an artist shouldn't struggle with recreating them. The instructions are easy to follow and they are absolutely adorable. I think it would make a great gift to anyone who does a bullet journal or scrapbook.

This is a great book! My daughter loved it and we ordered a physical copy as well. Recommend if you have a kid who loves to doodle and draw.

As an avid bullet journaler this book is exactly what I’ve been looking for!

I often find myself wanting to doodle and make my bullet journal cute, but my creativity is limited when it comes to art. Enter in Doodle Days!

I love that this book both gives you detailed visual direction on how to draw various doodles, but it also groups together images based on themes (seasons, baking, gardening, etc…)

I have been copying these doodles and adding flare to my journal and it has brought me so much joy again. I can’t wait to experiment more with the ideas given in this book (maybe I’ll add some color)!

If you’re into journaling or just want ideas on what you can doodle, this book provides a plethora of ideas and I will be turning to it and it’s themes for months to come.

The only thing I wish we had more of, is directions on how to watercolor as it is listed as a supply, but I would have loved to also have been given a short snippet of guidance on that as well.

Cute and simple drawings to follow along. Great for kids and younger readers. Lots of easy to use examples

Thank you to the publisher & author/illustrator for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. This is a beginner's guide to doodles. This review is based on an excerpt of the book's offerings. The author states that the aims of this book is to inspire artists and encourage confidence and creativity. The layout of the book is different categories of doodles, step-by-step instructions to draw, space to draw. One of the main instructions of this guide is to draw in pencil first and then follow with pen. The doodles are line drawings, a lot which combine shapes to make simple drawings. They remind me of art class in middle school, especially considering I'm approaching this as someone who isn't very artistic. It helps to see how shapes can form together to make doodles. Now, the examples are not boring. They're very cute! I loved the camper & farm animals page, for example. I think that this would be a great buy for someone who is like me -- maybe not super advanced in drawing, maybe they don't have an automatic eye for drawing but still would like to try it out. Or maybe a younger budding artist. Or someone you know who just doodles constantly! It looks well worth money.

With the newfound love of journaling, being able to doodle some picture is a nice skill to acquire, moreover it will make your journal look prettier. Even though NetGalley could only provide with some of the pages, this book can also be used by kids to learn to draw.

This is a really fun simple approach to doodling . Great for anyone getting started in not just doodling but journaling too. And for those more experienced it is a great source of inspiration and ideas.
I really enjoyed how the images were broken down into more manageable chunks.
I took a lot away from this book, and look forward to putting it all into practice in my own journal next year.


I voluntarily read and reviewed this book, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

The PDF was difficult to view on my computer for some reason (maybe the file was too large due to all the images?). It took a really long time to load each page and I got annoyed and impatient, which makes it hard to give a fair assessment of the book. I'm sure the paper version is great. From what I can see, there were a lot of cute, simple designs to copy and some instructions on how to draw them.

What a fun little book. Not many pages, but has some great info and instructions! And who doesn't love to doodle!?

I love this doodling book and can’t wait to get my paper copy! ! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Cute book with even cuter doodles. Its an awesome book for starting with doodles. Easy steps to make cute objects and animal.

As an avid doodler, I was excited to read this book. However, I was very disappointed by it.

I was hoping for more narrative, process, tools, techniques and prompts. The book is essentially pages and pages of simple line-art. Reading this book did not improve my doodling. In fact, I wasn't even inspired to doodle after reading it.

I did not get a lot of value from Doodle Days.

5 stars, Fun, Fun, Fun

DOODLE DAYS by Jane Maday
published by: Penguin Random House, North Light Books

A fun-filled doodle book, for anyone wanting to draw doodles. The author gives you some things to copy and other more complicated things with step-by-step instructions.

Highly recommend, for any age group.

Many thanks to #penguinrandomhouse #northlightbooks for the complimentary copy of #doodledays I was under no obligation to post a review.

I have been wanting to improve my drawing skills for a long time. I have not very artistically talented and I get very overwhelmed with a thought of free drawing. So this book was great because it had very simple drawings and a lot of step by step pages. I definitely enjoyed practicing please drawings and they were easy enough that my kids were able to follow along as well. I look forward to practicing and getting better with these doodles.
