Anyone can doodle—and this book proves it!

Your intrepid doodling guide Kamo is the author of many bestselling drawing guides, and in this one she shows you how to create simple doodles anywhere using just a ballpoint pen. You'll learn to use Kamo's motto: "Once you know the basics, you can draw anything!"

It shows you how to doodle anywhere—at home, in the office and on the go—on loose scraps of paper or in a notebook. Learn to use your decorative doodles to dress up and enliven things you use everyday—from letters, gift cards and invitations to journals, appointment books, household labels, business cards and scrapbooks.
