How to Doodle Reading a Book
How to create a simple doodle that represents the idea of reading a book? Begin by drawing a vertical line in the middle of your page. Draw four additional lines extending from the vertical line at a 45-degree angle. Notice the length of angles of the lines. These lines will become the back of our book.
To draw the pages of your book, use two straight lines and a couple of small squiggly lines. Notice again, the angle of the lines when compared to the lines you drew in step 1.
Let’s now doodle the person reading the book. Begin by drawing the person’s hands. Notice the placement of the hands. Also, notice that our doodle person only has three fingers. And this is fine because when it comes to doodling, it’s all about simplification. Don’t forget to also doodle the head. Use a half oval shape for this purpose.
Let’s now draw some facial features on our doodle person. Use curved lines, oval shapes, and small circles. Also, use curved lines for the hair and ears. Then finish things off using straight lines for the book. Notice how the outer edges of the book are drawn behind the fingers.
Add the finishing touches to your doodle by adding a few more details, a name for the book, and don’t forget to give your doodle a splash of color. 🙂
