Cosy Doodles: 30 Little Things to Sketch & Paint

Would you love to paint a little robin, a teacup or a pot of daisies, but the drawing part feels like the scary bit? This book is for you.

Cosy Doodles is a gentle step-by-step drawing workbook for beginners who want to sketch first and then paint. Every doodle starts with one or two simple shapes, and each step adds just one small thing: a handle, a wing, a tail. The new lines are drawn darker so you can see exactly what to add next. If you haven't drawn since school, you're in the right place.

WHAT'S INSIDE

- 30 step-by-step lessons, each built in 4 to 6 small stages (171 stages altogether)

- 30 matching practice pages: trace it, draw it on your own, then make it yours

- A painted colour reference for every lesson, with 3 colour suggestions and one simple painting tip (painted references for inspiration, not my own paintings)

- A six-shape warm-up page: circle, oval, egg, rounded square, teardrop and curve

- 6 little scenes that put your doodles together: a tea table, a sunny windowsill, a woodland hello, a reading corner, October treasures and a cosy winter shelf

- An extra practice page and ideas for turning your doodles into cards and bookmarks
