This Brooklyn illustrator takes doodling seriously.
Cartoonist Travis Nichols has put together a workbook for kids, “The Monster Doodle Book,” which encourages the reader’s own creativity with half-finished sketches of aliens, robots, and hybrid creatures – so your budding artist can let their imagination run wild while honing their fine motor skills.
Some of the book’s exercises ask the artist-in-training to draw as many tiny monsters on a page as possible, or help them to make a moving monster “flip book,” or invite them to draw the cast of a monster TV show.
Once done, your little artist will have a truly monstrous keepsake.
“The Monster Doodle Book,” $13.95. For info, visit ilikeapplejuice.com.
