Doodled Dogs

What a sweet little book - Doodled Dogs by Gemma Correll is. I found this very book cute, fun and charming to read. This book starts with a page of how to use this book, then what supplies you will need to draw the super cute dogs, i.e Pen, Pencil etc. It then asks you questions about your dog, its favourite game, its favourite toy etc. I loved the part when it asks you of your a dog person etc. I loved the drawings of the dogs and found them so easy to draw. If you were stuck it had good clear step by step guidelines.
This book would be great for a young child especially if he or she loves dogs and would like to have one (hint hint)
Its a Super cute book aimed at all age groups. Plus, would be great for schools children especially if they are doing a project about their pets or wanting a pet.

Big Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster for letting me read and review this book

I really liked this as it was both cute and enjoyable. I love Gemma Correll's art style and this did not disappoint. I'm crazy about the puppers and doggos and this fed my need for more dog content easily.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster for the ARC!

Gemma Correll is so talented! I love her doodles. This book is perfect for dog lovers!! Her list of 20 signs that you're a dog person made me laugh a lot, because it's so relatable. Since I read a digital version, I won't be able to fill the blanks and make my own doodles, which is kind of a bummer. But anyway, I loved it!

This will make the perfect christmas present for someone that really likes dogs - actually the book opens up asking to put a picture of their dog in it, so maybe someone who already owns dog(s).
I wouldn't think I would buy this book for myself, as it's not really a drawing/art book, but it will allow some fun time to doodle your own dogs. Gemma Corell picks some popular breeds and explains how to doodle each breed of dog. There are some templates in the end if you want to doodle around your own illustrations.
There is also a DIY mug idea which I really liked and I think I might try!

Doodled Dogs is a doodled notebook and collection of very informal lighthearted exercises for the would be dog-doodler. The majority of the book content is very simple line drawings of dogs in all sorts of situations, including anthropomorphized and alliteratively named dogs going about their lives as waiters, superheroes and artists.

It's 160 pages, published by Quarto - Walter Foster, with a due date 26th June, 2018 and available in hardback format. The measurements are 6"x7" which means it will fit easily into a purse or backpack. The author, Gemma Correll, is well known for her quirky offbeat drawings and has published a number of books about her pets and life.

For people who are seriously wishing to get some deep insights and directed lessons about doodling dogs, this is probably not your book. There is very little tutorial here. There are some short step by step tutorials, but they make up roughly 15% of the content; the rest is made up of finished drawings.

This book is appropriate for all audiences and would appeal to younger artists especially.

Charming, whimsical, witty and simply drawn.

Four stars

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

In addition to all the great tips on how to doodle dogs, and dogs' homes, and doggy facial expressions, there's even a bonus project of how to make a ceramic mug doodled on in the microwave. Cute and good for doodlers of all ages.

Very good introduction to Doodle as is the Doodled Cats bythe same author and same publisher. The tutorials are illustrated and easy to reproduce. An excellent activity to try with friends and family.

Yet another fun book from this author! This would be a great gift to a dog lover you know! I love how she has drawn simple pictures of dogs, yet every breed is easily recognized. The author has brought out each dogs personality and it was a joy to look through these pictures and get my own creative juices flowing.
I would definitely buy this book!

Really enjoyed this one. My favorite part was learning how to draw a dapper dachshund. Thanks for the review copy.

This lovely (and slightly cheeky) doodling guide is full of interesting information and cute pictures of dogs and dog faces. It will help you doodle better, or more cute, dogs, and find your own perfect doodled dog version. It is also a journal for fun facts about yourself and your dog, e.g. "A Day in the Life" of your dog.

Doodle prompts are supposed to help you get your imagination and creativity working. Whereas the step-by-step guide is there to help you try out new shapes - dog breeds, that is.

I am not an artist but I am an invenerate doodler during my work day. Cordell has nailed the distinction between my doodles and ones that actually look like dogs. I could tell she was a pug owner and her Pug doodles are spot on. Very cheerful and instructive, my dogs now look like dogs! Fun for anyone with a pen in their hand.

Doodled Dogs is the latest doodling book by writer and illustrator Gemma Correll, author of Doodling for Dog People, Doodling for Bookworms, and The Feminist Activity Book. It has a section in the front with some facts about dogs and fun stuff about dog lovers. Then it's on to examples of drawings of different dog breeds and different doggy expressions.

There are step-by-step instructions on how to draw a few breeds, such as a French bulldog, dachshund and poodle, as well as suggestions for accessories like hats and Halloween costumes. There are also some doodle templates, with suggestions for what to add (outfits, balls, bones etc.), and how to draw kennels. In the back, there are also instructions on how to make a coffee mug decorated with one of your dogs.

Doodled Dogs might be a bit intimidating for someone who is convinced they really can't draw and might need to start with something simpler to build their confidence up first, but once you get going it's a lot of fun. It would be a great gift for someone who likes to doodle and loves dogs.

A very sweet and lovely little book. Featuring a great selection of doodled doggy’s , it teaches you how to draw them, gives you the space to add faces and accessories plus the added bonus of teaching you how to make a mug at the end of the book.

Doodled Dogs is a fun and quirky art guide by Gemma Correl. It is pretty much as the title indicates; a book on dog doodles. It has helpful tips, fun prompts, and funny comics. It’s a fast and fun read, with lots of projects included.
Some of the projects inside are one where the reader must complete the doodle themselves, or a quirky prompt or thought. They seem silly at first, but they do a great job of getting the reader to relax and have fun, and isn’t that the point of doodling?
The book also includes lots of images and comics by the author herself, which were a lot of fun. In some ways these were my favorite parts, and I found myself wishing at times that more of these had been included. They were so cute and fun!
If you’re a dog lover looking for a fun and relaxing art guide, then this is absolutely the book for you. You probably could enjoy this even if you didn’t love dogs…but loving dogs would certainly be a bonus in this case.

What a charming and whimsical book! My five-year-old son loves drawing, so I’ve taken to doodling along with him. One of his favorite things to draw is our family, complete with our dog, so I thought this would be the perfect book to try out with him.

The book is divided into four parts. The first part is full of quirky things like lists (including signs you’re a dog person – “Your pockets are full of poop pick-up bags”), dog facts, and a dog alphabet. It also has several pages of example dogs and dog faces, demonstrating different characteristics and emotions. The meat of the book is the 30-some pages in part 2 where you learn how to draw several species of dogs step by step (French bulldog, dachshund, bichon frise, greyhound, collie, and poodle). Part 3 experiments with hats, patterns (a tie-dye dog?), a series of anthropomorphic dogs (including Lucky the Lab Technician), dogs in costumes, dog houses, and dog toys. Part 4 is a series of templates of already drawn dogs for you to doodle on.

It’s super cute, and suitable for children as well as adults. My five-year-old got a kick out of drawing dogs with hats, and loved looking at all the various dog doodles. If you’re looking for lots of detailed step-by-step guides, I think you’d be disappointed. Instead, it kickstarted our imaginations (astronaut dog! alien dog!) and provided a fun afternoon full of giggles and doodles. I think this would make a super cute gift for any fan of dogs and drawing!

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

These books by Gemma Correll never ceases to bring a smile to my face. This one is about dogs and I did enjoy it very much. Again an ideal book for ideas on greeting cards and children art. I really enjoyed the little pug that made an entry in many of the drawings - and I love the variety of different dogs in different ways.
A nice happy book

Are you a dog lover and also a doodler? Well Doodled Dogs is right up your alley no matter your age. Simple but creative illustrations are provided by author, Gemma Correll. Using templates provided you can make your furry friend a super hero, a scientist or more. Enjoy hours of time developing your own pet in anything you can imagine.

I’ve had dogs and cats both so I got both versions of this book. Dogs have always been trickier for me. I’m in no way a serious artist, but I do like to doodle and for some reason, cats were much easier for me. This definitely helped me to quickly crank out a few little doggie doodles. Not perfect but identifyable, which I consider a win.

Like the cat book the first part is not at all doodle related, instead it’s silly things like dog facts and lists about how to know you’re a dog lover. Cute but not the star of teh show. Like the cat book, the end sections of the book are doodles to complete and completed doodles. The section of doodles where the cats meet dogs is identical in both books. The project (doodling on a coffee mug) are the same just one is a cat one is a dog - but the bodies and text are identical. So if you want both books, some of it will feel like filler and some will simply be repeated.

That said, the actual part of the book focussed on doodling is excellent.

This sweet book is the companion piece to DOODLED CATS by social media star Gemma Correll. It is just as winsome and fun and will show you how to sketch your favorite doggy with style and grace. 5/5!

Thanks to the author, Quarto Publishing Group - Walter Foster, and NetGalley for the review copy, in exchange for my honest opinions.

#DoodledDogs #NetGalley

Loved this book tons of easy to follow drawing instructions that any one can do.  There are a lot of great information about different pens and fun questionnaires about the dogs in your life.

Gemma Correll's dog doodles are some of the best out there! She manages to create such strong expressions while still using such a simple style. This book is funny, and even teaches you how to draw the dogs yourself! The instructions are easy enough that anyone could follow them. The perfect gift for any dog-lover!

Ok, now you're in for some fun. This is one of the cutest books I've reviewed in a while.

If you have a boring commute on transit, have a few minutes a day to play with a pencil or markers, or otherwise need a boost - or just a diversion - between calls and emails - GET THE BOOK. I laughed my way through it.

Fun instructions, great doodles, and most of all, space to unleash your creativity. What are you waiting for?

Great fun and very easy. As with the cat version of this little book I have used it to design a little motif for all my dog loving friend which I’ll use to illustrate my cards and emails. It’s going to be fun putting all my new characters into different situations.

Doodled Dogs: Dozens of clever doodling exercises & ideas for dog people by Gemma Correll is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. This is an adorable and fun book to read for all the silly cartoons and drawings. It gets even better as the author tries to teach cartoon drawing to me! Mine look like that anyway! It is a load of fun! Lots of fun in the book! I plan to buy it for my early adolescent grand daughters, they will love it! It also gives some fun facts about dogs!

I am a fan of Correll's doodling books, but this one seems to be made up of a lot of fillers. Nevertheless, it is a cute book that will teach amateur doodlers to draw a wide variety of breeds.

Thank you to Netgalley, Quarto Publishing Group, and Gemma Correll for providing an electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Because I love Gemma Corell, I was thrilled to read a copy of this book. Corell's drawings are so unique, it's a gift that she offers instructions on copying her style!

Doodled Dogs includes four sections: 1) All About Dogs, which includes a ton of Correll's illustrations of dogs of various breeds as well as a few activity pages and some funny sections such as "20 Signs You're a Dog Person" and "What's in a Name," 2) Doodled Dogs Step by Step, 3) It's a Dog's World, which demonstrates ways to enhance dog doodles, and 4) Dog Doodle Templates.

The step-by-step instructions are incredibly clear and I had so much fun drawing the different dogs. The dog doodle templates section provides "plain" drawings to decorate with zentangle-like doodles, hats, accessories, and clothing. One section also includes some hilarious Correll classics that pair cats and dogs. Finally, the book includes a bonus project--instructions on how to make a coffee mug with a dog doodle.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes Gemma Corell or who loves dogs and wants to learn how to create cute drawings.

This is a nice book for those who want ideas and beginner's knowledge for doodling dogs. I enjoyed the variety of examples and prompts which helped it feel fun without being repetitive. Both the cat and dog books were really cute and are great for a wide audience.

This book is adorable! Super easy guide on doodling doggos in your own unique style. Would be great for young kids who are learning to draw or even for adults who want to improve their doodling subject repertoire. Highly recommend for dog lovers.

A brilliant mix of cute canines broken down into easy to follow steps. A great addition for any drawing library.

Doodled Dogs by Gemma Correll
Seeing a book on cats and another on dogs and how to doodle them seemed fun to me when I was looking for something to read and review. So, I requested both books. I have been known to doodle from time to time ;) As with the cat doodling book the drawings are more cartoon and fun than realistic but give creative ideas for embellishing, anthropomorphizing and even patterning felines. I might even try the idea of how to create a mug of my own with a cat doodled on it.
I can see this for children or for adults but it would not be for someone wanting to draw realistic felines. There is also scientific information about facts that I found rather interesting.
Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.
4 Stars

I was unable to read this book. :( Please in the future let us know on the book's page before requested whether or not the book can be read on a Kindle.

One thing I love about dogs is their variety of appearances and personalities.  Gemma Correll does a great job capturing the variety of dog types and expressions, and teaching people how to recreate their pets.  It’s fun to doodle ordinary and extraordinary dogs, dogs with costumes, dogs with hats. The prompts and the techniques allow just about anyone to create adorable doodles of dogs.  Doodled Dogs makes a perfect gift for dog lovers of all ages. It’s a fun book plain and simple.

I received a copy of Doodled Dogs from the publisher and Netgalley.com in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC of this from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Doodling helps me to stay awake during those really boring conference calls and irrelevant meetings that I always seems to get dragged into. I've mostly just doddled cubes or flowers, mainly because that's the only thing that I can draw that even resembles what it's supposed to.
This book has given me a whole new purpose to doodle. I can now draw the cutest dogs ever!
Humourous bylines, fun facts, and drawings broken down so that even a small child could master it, this book was such a fun read. The costume portion made me laugh, but why not dress your pet drawing up to the nines.
I should have requested the cat one as well.
This book was awesome and I'd recommend for avid doodlers.

Doodled Cats/ Doodled Dogs by Gemma Correll are interactive art books that encourage the reader to draw in them. Each is divided into four parts. Part 1 is all about the animal in question, including humourous factoids, signs you are a cat/dog person, and types of cats/dogs. Part 2 teaches how do doodle specific breeds. Part 3 is about doodling anthropomorphic animals and animals with clothes or costumes. The fourth and final section gives templates and prompts for getting creative.

Overall, I enjoyed these books. My cubs enjoyed them moreso. I wasn't a particularly huge fan of this art style. It isn't bad, just not my cuppa. My cubs adored them though! I wish there had been more step-by-step selections. Nicky and a few of the others have great free-hand and can use the completed picture to go by. I liked the cat one most, being the cat person that I am. I loved the sleeping cat, and the cats in boxes.

***Many thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I've loved everything I've been able to get my hands on from this author, and this was no different. I'm a huge dog lover, and this one was a delight! I'm planning to buy a copy or two as gifts this holiday season!

Thank you, NetGalley for the preview of this Digital ARC.

This book was so cute! I really hope that I would be able to doodle like Gemma Correll one day. A perfect book for all dog-lovers.

So cute! Thanks for letting me check this out, I loved it! I don't think I will ever be able to doodle as well as Gemma, but I loved seeing all the cute illustrations!

THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING!!!!!

I have always been a fan of Gemma Carrell, but now I am obsessed! I have never had so much fun with an interactive/how-to book before! I love everything about it! I love that there is a selection of different dog breeds to doodle, although the pug is my personal favourite. I simply can't say enough fun things about it! GO out and buy it now please..... and get the Doodled Cats while you're at it!

I have received a much appreciated digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Gemma Correll's Doodled Dogs is as adorable as her Doodled Cats book, with the added fact that this one is about dogs!! She goes beyond just showing you how to draw dogs, but she provides fun dog facts, fun dog pictures and fun dog and cat comics! In a word, her book is fun. (You probably caught that fact already...) The directions for drawing dogs (of a variety of breeds) are easy to follow and although I am an adult, I am adult without a major knack for drawing, so I think I am a good test subject. She has pages to fill in, to draw designs on pre-drawn dogs, and to fill in information about your favorite dog. This is a great book to give to your child, and the borrow at night so you can practice your dog drawings!

I just love this book! I can’t wait to buy the paper edition! It’s fun, good instructions, and the author may actually like dogs more than me. I didn’t know that was possible!

A fun and easy-to-follow guide to drawing dogs - from glamorous greyhounds to beautiful bichon frise! Perfect for children and adults alike.

I'm a sucker for Gemma Correll, so when this title appeared on Netgalley, I couldn't resist checking it out. It's a very cute book combining some of Correll's cartoons and drawings with pages that allow the reader to doodle their own little dogs -- my only complaint was that it's pretty darn near-identical to Doodled Cats. Cartoonists gotta make a living somehow, though, and I can respect that.
