• Introduction • Hi! My Name Is Sarah. I'm a doodle artist and stay-at-home mum from Sydney, Australia. Art has always been a part of me. Ever since I was young, I loved to draw but I never took any classes or attended art school. I only considered drawing a hobby, but I dreamed of becoming an artist and creating my own comic book one day. One of my biggest art inspirations and influences came from watching Japanese anime. Growing up, I also enjoyed reading about superheroes and characters in fantasy novels. I loved looking at different artists' styles and approaches, but that was where it stopped. I never thought of pursuing art as a career. It wasn't until I had my first child that my interest in art was rekindled as a way to relax while being a new mum. I finally found my calling when I started to make little doodles for the pages of my planners because I couldn’t afford to buy the stickers or stamps to decorate them. A surprising number of people seemed to like what I was doing and asked me to post more doodles. From there, I decided to create my YouTube channel, Doodles by Sarah, to share my ideas and creativity. In this book, I'll share with you my techniques for turning words into doodles. I'll take you through the basics of lettering, creating different letting styles, and ways to decorate and add detail. You don’t need anything fancy to start working on your own doodle words. All you need is your favorite pen, some paper, and your imagination. • Suggested Tools • Fine Liner Pen Erasable Pencil Dust-free Eraser Markers Nature Nerd Step 1 The word ADVENTURE has 9 letters, so divide the letters into 3 even lines. Think of things related to nature, camping, and outdoor activities that will work with the shapes of the letters and draw your skeleton with those shapes in mind. Nature Nerd Step 2 Start drawing details for each letter. For example, I turned the letter A into a teepee or a mountain—or both. The letter V is a pair of oars, and so on.
