       Doodles for Fall

       Doodles for Winter

      Let’s

      Hey, everyone, I’m Kamo, the author and illustrator of this book.

       Thanks for joining me as together we discover the joys of doodling

       the whole year round. The seasons-and the holidays, celebrations,

       observances and special events they contain-are a perfect excuse

       to use doodles to dress up your notebooks, cards, letters, invitations

       and anything else you wish to add that special touch to.

      This book contains a wealth of doodle suggestions, divided by season,

       to add to your personal items and messages. Start with these, then

       create your own!

      The most important thing about doodling is that it is simple, easy to

       do and easy to understand. As you work through the book, picking up

       various drawing tricks and techniques and referring to the steps and

       stages along the way, your doodles will take on detail and character. In

       other words, they’ll be an expression of you! I’ve scattered key points

       throughout. They’re marked in red , so use them as a reference

       when you’re first starting out.

      Don’t forget to highlight and showcase your individual doodling style

       as it develops. When you’re ready to personalize an illustration,

       to add your own unique embellishments or if you just want to

       go off in a design direction all your own, keep an eye out for the

       blue markers throughout the book. They show you parts

       of a drawing you can change as you see fit. Doodling is about

       improvzation, so be open to the changes and improvizations.

      Doodle with confidence, let your hand flow freely across the page,

       looping and swirling, and you never know what amazing illustrations

       will appear before you.

      Happy doodling,

      – Kamo

       Basics

      First, try drawing with a ballpoint pen

      Before you draw lines or write letters and numbers with a
