642 Tiny Things to Draw

by Eloise Leigh (Design)

The perfect inspirational drawing book meets guided mini journal for the artist on the go. This pocket-sized drawing journal is packed with just as much clever, imaginative fun as the original bestselling 642 Things to Draw.

642 Tiny Things to Draw is a guided journal that will inspire creativity, energize the mind and stimulate artistry in any aspiring or skilled creator.

All 642 drawing prompts invite doodlers to draw teeny-tiny things—from "a keyhole" and "a marble" to "an atom" and "your house, from space." Some are deceptively simple (just try drawing a blade of grass!), some are conceptually mind-bending (sketching the speed of light?), and some are refreshingly basic (an eraser, a button, the Little Dipper). Hip and helpful, 642 Tiny Things to Draw is the perfect inspirational sketch book, sure to entertain and provoke the imagination of anyone ready to pick up a pencil.

Budding artists and experienced sketchers alike will find themselves invigorated by this collection of unique and wonderful tiny drawing prompts on the go.

FUN FOR Includes 642 random drawing prompts to spark casual doodling while entertaining the mind. While different than a traditional step-by-step or how to draw book, you don't have to be a skilled artist to enjoy this relaxing, stimulating, and entertaining activity book.

SPARK With a collection of silly, thought-provoking, simple, and complex prompts, this drawing ideas book will push your mind—and pencil—to think outside the box.

I had a lot of fun working my way through this book, drawing each tiny thing. Some of them are a bit open ended - with prompts like "a slight tremor" - and others were more concrete - like "a wonton". The more concrete ones were, obviously, a little easier.

I chose to draw them into a separate notebook, but there is space in the book itself for people to make their drawings. As I went through, I actually found a couple pages where I had done that back in 2016 (when I had first gotten the book).

If you're the sort of person who likes doodling and is looking for some ideas of what to doodle, I recommend this book.

This book is a bit out of my comfort zone. I bought it on impulse because I wanted to get back into drawing, something that I was really interested in when I was younger. The random things it'll tell you to draw are more difficult than not but I still love the challenge. I try to draw something every few days just to keep my fascination fresh. I'm sure it'll take forever for me to finish.

Can you list 642 tiny things? Exactly why I read it. "Draw teeny-tiny things in this teeny-tiny book" are the instructions with varying spaces provided. The items range from simple things like "a pretzel" to the poetic "small hours of the night." The first page "cupcake sprinkles" is why I purchased the book as an activity for grandchildren. However, as a writing prompt book, this has many possibilities.
Note: another book in the series is 642 Things to Write About. Fun.
