    How to transform doodles into complete illustrations

    The beginning of the creative process in digital and traditional art, discover how to transform your first ideas into captivating works of art. We've all doodled in the margins of a notebook or on a napkin during a conversation. What often seems like a simple pastime can become the beginning of a great creative process. Doodles are not just improvised strokes, but the seeds of complete illustrations. With practice, observation and a few techniques, any doodle can be transformed into a visual work full of personality.
