Start With A Scribble

Start with a Scribble will banish your inner critic and kick-start your inner genius, as you learn to draw with a little how-to and a lot of just-do. An artist-quality pen and watercolor pencils (red and black) are included. Inside, you’ll find:

• Prompts to inspire you (e.g., “emotional rabbits”)
• Doodles to finish (“Mrs. Thudkins takes her floppaterasis for a walk”)
• Techniques to try (only when the mood strikes you), from shading to perspective
• And plenty of wide-open space to play around in.
