DAY 1 An Introduction to the Visual Alphabet On Day 1 of this course we will look at the fundamental principles behind the doodle. When learning how to doodle we must start with the basics, and the basics start with the visual alphabet. Today I will introduce you to the visual alphabet, familiarize you with the 12 basic shapes, and then I'm going to hand it over to you so you can practice your doodling skills

DAY 2 Reverse Engineering Using the Visual Alphabet On Day 2 of this course we will look at how to reverse engineer objects within your environment. We will build on the previous day's lesson by using the elements of the visual alphabet to build an object from scratch. Specifically I will be using an example of a desk lamp and showing you how it's simply made up of visual alphabet elements.

DAY 3 Doodling Things Around Your Home BASICS On Day 3 of this course we will look at various things you can doodle very easily around your home.

Again we will build on previous lessons and continue to use only elements from the visual alphabet to doodle these objects. I will provide you with several examples and then I will hand things over to you and ask you to create doodles of your own.

DAY 4 Doodling All Kinds of Random Stuff BASICS On Day 4 of this course we will continue to practice using elements of the visual alphabet to doodle stuff. Today specifically let's doodle a few more indoor items, but also let's expand our horizons a little by looking outside the home or office and doodling other things that might catch your eye. Again, keep things simple and have fun with the process.

DAY 5 Your First Doodling Creative Challenge On Day 5 of this course I'm going to test you a little. In fact, you might even feel a little uncomfortable undertaking the creative challenge I have planned for you. And that's perfectly okay. When we feel

Page |7 uncomfortable it means we are learning and growing. I do really hope that you give this creative challenge a try. Who knows, you might even surprise yourself.

HASIL

DAY 6 Your Second Doodling Creative Challenge BASICS On Day 6 of this course I'm going to present you with your second doodling creative challenge.

And this one might be a little more difficult than the last, but I do hope that you're up for the challenge.

Page |8 Remember that when we're challenged it helps us learn and grow. And the more you learn from these creative challenges the better visual thinker you will become.

Day 7 Doodling Animal Heads Using the Visual On Day 7 of this course let's continue practicing our visual alphabet skills by doodling animal heads. I of course understand that you may never need to doodle animal heads, but this isn't about what you might or might not ever doodle. It's rather about practicing your doodling technique in various ways to help build the confidence you need to doodle anything your heart desires.

DAY 8 Using Frameworks to Structure Your Doodles On Day 8 of this course we'll take a look at how to use frameworks to help structure your doodles more effectively. It's of course not necessary that you use frameworks when doodling. However, understanding frameworks can be of value when working with proportions or if you desire to doodle more complex objects. I hope you will find this lesson of value.

DAY 9 Building Your Visual Vocabulary On Day 9 of this course let's take all the lessons we have worked through so far and use the practical experience you have had to begin building your visual vocabulary. Within this lesson I'm going to ask you to take small consistent actions each and everyday to grow your visual vocabulary. This won't take much effort however your effort does need to be consistent.

DAY 10 PEOPLE On Day 10 of this course let's take a look at something that most people dread when it comes to doodling. It's of course doodling people. However, doodling people doesn't need to be difficult. We are not attempting to create works of art. We are instead doodling something that represents a person, which can of course come in the form as basic as a stick figure.

P a g e | 12

DAY 11 ACTIVE PEOPLE On Day 11 of this course let's take a look at how to doodle active people. You should now feel pretty comfortable doodling stick figures, blog figures, box figures, etc. But what if we want to represent these figures moving and doing all sorts of stuff, and not just standing around in one spot? Well it all comes down to making a few small tweaks that I explain within today's lesson.

DAY 12 MORE ACTIVE On Day 12 of this course we will look at nine more examples of active people doing stuff, and I'm of course going to ask you to recreate them in your own way. Today specifically we will look at doodling a person falling backward, crawling, splatting, praying, doing the splits and handstands, a person thinking, reaching down and spinning around in endless circles.

DAY 13 Active People Doodling Skills On Day 13 of this course I'm not going to introduce anything new. Instead I will challenge you to take what you have learned over the past few days and turn those lessons into doodles. Specifically I want to challenge you to doodle a few more active people without providing you with any of my own examples.

Are you up for the challenge?

DAY 14 Facial Expressions Using the Face Matrix On Day 14 of this course I'm going to introduce you to a face matrix designed to help you express nine types of emotions through your doodles. All it really takes to express these emotions is three lines. Yes, just three lines used in various combinations can help you express nine different kinds of emotions. It really couldn't get any easier than this.

DAY 15 Turning Squiggles into Faces On Day 15 of this course I'm going to introduce you to Mr. Squiggle. Then after the introductions we will do what Mr. Squiggle does best, which is turn random squiggles into recognizable doodles. I suspect you will have a lot of fun with the activity I have for you today. Who knows, just maybe your random squiggles will turn into a few giggles when all is said and done. :)

DAY 16 Doodling Detailed Human Facial Features On Day 16 of this course let's add a little more character and life to our facial expressions. Today I am going to show you various ways to doodle eyes, a mouth, noses, and hair. This might seem a little complex at first, however it is important to mention that we are still working with the fundamentals of the visual alphabet. All these facial features are built upon those principles.

P a g e | 24

P a g e | 25

DAY 17 Doodling More Detailed Human Facial Features On Day 17 of this course I am going to take it up a notch. I gather you already understand how to doodle simple human emotions. And yesterday you practiced doodling more complex facial features. Well for today, let's combine those two lessons and look at ways we can express a wider variety of human emotions using only the eyes, mouth and the eyebrows.

DAY 18 Doodling Heads of All Shapes and Sizes On Day 18 of this course let's bring the past few lessons together and continue to build upon your doodling skills. Today we will specifically look at human heads. Okay, maybe not quite human. Let's call them cartoon heads instead. What you will find is that cartoon heads come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Literally any closed shape can easily become a head with a little imagination.

DAY 19 It's Really All in the Nose On Day 19 of this course we'll be taking a closer look at the art of doodling the nose. Yes, I do remember we have already gone through a lesson that explained how to doodle a nose, but this lesson is very different. Within today's lesson we are simply going to represent the nose as a pointy V, and I'm going to show you that where the nose goes the head follows.

P a g e | 28

DAY 20 Doodling Faces on Inanimate Objects On Day 20 of this course let's use all the practice you have had up to this stage doodling faces. However, instead of doodling faces on human figures, let's look at doodling faces on inanimate objects such as a pencil, bottle, book, tree, kettle, etc. Putting faces on these objects can give your doodles a lot more character and will certainly make them more memorable.

DAY 21 Doodling Human Hands and Feet On Day 21 of this course we'll go through one of my most awkward doodling experiences I've ever had.

We are of course going to discuss how to doodle hands and feet. Doodling hands in particular was a nightmare when I first got started doodling. I found it difficult because I fell into the trap of over complicating them from the onset. However, doodling hands doesn't need to be a complex process.

DAY 22 Doodling Scary Little Monsters On Day 22 of this course I might get a little criticism for the fact that I'm going to ask you do doodle scary little monsters. Yes, on the surface it might seem childish, but my goal is after all to bring out your inner child. :) Also doodling monsters is just another doodle skill that challenges you to think creatively.

Who knows? One of these days you may even need to doodle a scary little monster. :)

Day 23 Creating Movement and Direction On Day 23 of this course let's take a look at how to show movement and direction within your doodles. Adding movement and direction to your doodles can help tell a story. It can show that something is progressing from one point to another; that something is moving quickly or slowly; or that something is moving through time. And all it takes is a few squiggles.
