Doodling Made Easy Series #4
Posted on 10 April 2009 by Tracey Grundy
Welcome to another post on ‘Doodling Made Easy’. Previously we have looked at letters, text, lines, swirls and flowers. Today we will be combining some of these techniques to create some gorgeous bespoke lettering for your craft projects.
First of all draw your letters in pencil which means you can erase and amend should you need to. When you are happy with your designs draw over the pencil lines with a permanent fine liner pen and erase the pencil lines.
Next draw different patterns on your letters. Here we have gone for spots, plaid and stripes.
Here’s a coloured example.
These letters have doodled pictures on them relating to the actual letter on which they appear, i.e. ‘A’ has an apple tree and apples, ‘B’ has a waving bear and bear paw prints and ‘C’ has cats and cat paw prints.
And the coloured example.
These letters have a ‘Triptych’ theme to them, in that over the three letters there is a continuing floral theme.
Another coloured example.
These lower case letters have had varying doodled designs on them.
And a coloured example.
These lower case letters take on a more italic look and have a similar retro pattern on them.
Here’s a coloured example.
Taking on a ‘real writing’ italics theme to the text, these letters have been decorated from underneath the text with doodled flowers, hearts and stars, as featured in the previous ‘Doodling Made Easy’ series of posts which can be found HERE.
Here’s the final coloured example.
If you have been inspired by this feature, don’t miss the next post which will be coming soon.

This is lovely Tracey, but I am not sure I could even draw the letters like that without the aid of the computer!
By the way my logo for PCJ seems to have gone blank, is this because of the site changes?
Did you get my article for the blog?
