Book Review

I really wanted to like this book. I love doodling and I liked the idea of having a draw in book to learn some new things to doole. 

I don't like this book. Some of the drawings are cute, but the instructions are terrible. You would think the first section of the book would be the easier one, especially considering this is basically a workbook. It is not, you clearly need some previous drawing experience. The drawings aren't doodle cartoons, they look like full on anime characters. Not easy to just doodle. 

I also didn't like the physical size of the book. With a name like doodletopia you would think you would be making little doodles. The pages are huge. When you start adding shading and such, it becomes a lot to do. It isn't a little doodle anymore it is a full on art project.

I did like one section of the book. It was making two different things, animals usually, using the same starting shape. I thought that was interesting to see. I would have liked to see that section expanded more, with more options and practice pages.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
