You are perpetually covered in cat fur. Your shelves are full of feline-themed books, knickknacks, and toys. You’re not a crazy cat person. You’re a feline enthusiast! That means that you’ll love the more than 50 prompts, doodling exercises, and fun facts about cats in Doodling for Cat People. This book is designed to get your creative juices flowing—and your pen and pencil moving!

The book is broken down into numerous chapters. For example:

Doodled Cats
Doodled Cat Faces
Draw A Kitty
Draw A Kitty Sitting Pretty
Cat-Toids
Draw A Super Sphynx
Kitty Kingdoms
Cats Doing Tricks
Draw A Cozy Curled-Up Kitty
Doodle Library
Playtime
etc.

There are doodling prompts throughout the book with blank pages for you to doodle on. I always like when they include blank pages as I can doodle along with them as I’m reading. I don’t need to go grab paper and pencils. Plus, it keeps all of your cat doodles together in one neat place!

My 13 year old daughter and I have been doing doodling for a long time. We’re dog and cat lovers so it was natural that we would be drawn like a magnet to this book. It’s the perfect how-to for beginners and those who already know how to doodle/draw.  If you’re a cat lover or know someone who is…I think you’ll love this book.

ISBN: 978-1-60058-926-3

This book encourages artists of all skill levels to practice mindfulness and meditation as they create relaxing, reflective artwork and focuse on enjoying the creative process, rather than worrying about the end result. As a novice artist I really enjoyed looking through this book. I feel that I can tackle the projects with some practice. Nothing looks overly complicated at all.

I just ordered some art supplies from Amazon. I’m not the crafty one in the family but do enjoy art. I’m going to give it a try once all of my supplies arrive. The weather is getting nicer and I think our back deck will be the perfect place for me to sit, relax, and paint!
