Designed for beginners, this doodle guide by Latta (Hand Lettering for Relaxation) is relaxing, even therapeutic. Divided into sections such as "Around Town," "At the Coffee Shop," and "In Your Imagination," it features step-by-step drawing instructions for projects ranging from narwhal to taxis. The author suggests beginning with a pencil to master the doodle, then tracing over it with markers or colored pencils. There's a handy index that enables readers to go to specific doodles they may have in mind. The explanations go fabulously with visual steps for easy practice. Craft enthusiasts will find much use for the book's personalized projects, and teachers may want to incorporate them into their English or art lessons. As with other guidebooks, not every doodle needs to be practiced, just those that either interest or pertain to whatever readers may be working on. Readers may want to buy a sketchbook in addition to this manual to track their progress. VERDICT This guide is for those who love to bullet journal or craft. It's also recommended for those needing to pick up a new meditative hobby.—Jazmin Franco-Farraj
