Doodletopia Fairies

Doodletopia Fairies

Who wouldn't smile when they saw a fairy.  Fairies are magical creatures and explore a fun side of creativity.   Doodletopia Fairies helps one to explore how to draw a fairy from their wings to their magical world.   I am certainly not an artist but I sure do like to pretend like I am.  I enjoy crafting and scrapbooking and often try to paint and draw.  That's why this book was so much fun.   Millions of adults and kids around the world love to color inside the lines or at least attempt to.  With this book I was not only able to paint but attempted to draw the lines for me to paint  inside of.  I could take the basic design which helps you indicate the size and scale as well as fairy features, clothes, and magical creatures and houses.   This book gives great advice and allows your creative side to explode. 

Often times as adults we might begin to sweat or run away from drawing or coloring.  Most people seem to deny their creative and artistic talents and don't even attempt to try and often make excuses.   I love the fantasy-inspired pages of this book and the wonderful instruction should help any adult or child overcome their excuses and begin drawing.   The beautiful thing is that your art may not be ready for publication but it can certainly make you and your family smile.  That's exactly what happened at my house.  It does help that my 10 year old thinks that all my art is wonderful but it still made me smile.  

This book will help you overcome your fear and the scribbles that you might attempt on a page from your imagination or memory.  The instruction will help you to learn to draw and shows you the steps and examples of how to draw the fairies.   In the 2 examples above, I used watercolor (140 lb paper) to begin.  You could use any type of paper but I really wanted to paint so this is what I chose.  I used my 36 count Kuretake watercolor paints and a couple of aquabrushes to paint with.  I love the hi-polymer erasers and will eraser any mistake.  I also use the Copic and Micron .03 pen for outlining.   I highly enjoyed my time drawing and painting and can't wait to try more attempts. 

I did receive this book for an honest review and I would highly recommend it for anyone that works to open up their creativity and have fun.
