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
