To doodle or not to doodle, that is the question. Sign me up!!!! Love the preview!
That looks like one awesome book, I would love to add to my library of books. Thanks so much!
i love these doodles!! mine always end up just a crazy schizo mess of lines and ink. i would love to be able to doodle with more purpose
I don’t think I have a doodle style so that’s why I’d love to win this book!
Great addition to my Lark book collection!
This is a great book, I’d love to have a copy. I tend to doodle squiggly lines or geometric shapes…
What a cool book! I would love to get this. It looks like it would help me develop my doodling potential!
This book looks very cool. I usually doodle what I call little sausage animals, and simple lineart that would work well in embroidery.
I usually start scribbling then create from what I see in the scribble. This book looks awesome!
Mine usually grow out of mistakes or random marks I make on the paper when I’m making notes. Gotta turn that into something. Thanks for the giveaway, this looks like lots of fun.
I’d love to have that book! I usually draw a random shape, see if it turns into something and then go from there!
I have a sketchbook with me at all times – I make a point to sketch every night before bed.
This book looks like fun! My doodle style is pretty simple but I would love to broaden my horizons!
I love to doodle as I sit and watch tv. I think this book looks awesome! Thanks for the giveaway.
This looks great. Am always on the look out for creative exercises for a group that I belong to.
Lately I’ve been doodling alot of dreamcatchers.
I love to doodle.
I would love to win this book, it looks awesome.

I am more of a note-taker these days, always jotting down info when I’m on the phone. I’d like to get back to being a doodler. Maybe this would help me kick that off!
I draw flowers all the time when doodling this book looks awesome.
I’m not a huge doodler but this book gives me so many ideas.
I don’t doodle a lot; however, when I do it tends to be geometric shapes primarily.
I doodle all the time. It makes me very happy and relaxed! I remember my grandma doodled, too. She had a little notepad by her phone that she filled with pages and pages of doodles, created over the course of many phone conversations….
Would love to have this book for inspiration. I doodle all the time and sometimes I look through some of my art books to get inspired.
Just found this book in my local library. Love it and would very much like to have a copy of it.
I don’t have a doodle style as I tend to try and make my drawing perfect and then I get frustrated and stop drawing. But I’d love to learn to relax, have fun and just doodle. This looks like a great book!
My “doodles” tend to be collages with drawing over top. I keep journals and would love to add some doodles to them. I love prompts so I think this book would be a wonderful inspiration.
My doodles usually are boxes or lines – I’d love to learn to expand into “meaningful” doodles
Doodles help me clear my mind and help me focus. I’m fascinated by fractal design.
I’d love to learn how to doodle like that!!!
This is an art form that I think would be wonderful to learn!
I am putting this book on the wishlist for my highschool art room!
Thanks for the opportunity to win. My doodle style is a very exploratory venture attempting to reawaken some muscle/eye/brain memory from high school (many moons ago) because I would love to recapture the joy I once experienced with paper and pen in hand.
Awesome!! My doodles tend to be very whimsical!
i make circles and lines and monsters and cats.
I have always doodled especially in college! I would start in the corner of the paper and work down…..guess I should have been taking notes
This looks like great fun. Thanks for the opportunity.
Looks like a fun book for both kids and adults! Can’t wait to try some of techniques…I love the Ripples
I seem to doodle lots of hearts and flowers…maybe I should branch out!
Oddly enough one of my daughter’s nicknames is Doodle
She’s four, so I mostly like to help her with her drawing. She busted out a bird and some flowers the other day that I was pretty impressed with for a little one
O I love doodles and zentangles. They make great embroidery and quilting motifs. I love to doodle vines and flowers
This looks great, just the thing to cure a drawing phobic
This looks like so much fun. Doodling always helps me think better and come up with ideas quickly!
This site is my aspiration, real fantastic design and style and perfect subject matter.
Hola! I’ve been reading your website for a long time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Austin Tx! Just wanted to say keep up the good work!
