All of my own children are grown up now, no grandchildren yet, but as a teacher of young children I know that my pupils will love your sketches. Showing them just one picture is going to start up a whole load of conversations between them.
These pictures, with their short comments would make wonderful reading books for young children too.

Dear ArtistMommaDoodlemum: Never knew of you until today’s Guardian. Thoroughly enjoyed your drawings – then asked myself why. I’m reminded of Quentin Blake’s art wherein his lines, dots and infills all appear to be laid in a spontaneous rush onto the paper, yet – the dots for eyes show timeless, cheerful expectancy; the faces, especially in profile display great delicacy in the eentsy noses and dainty mouths. I wanted to hug the cartoon lady! Altogether, I see great humanity in the figure drawing: the exhaustion, exasperation, humour, confrontation, et al, that figures in all our lives. Charming artwork, well done! From a retired carpenter, frustrated would-be artist, and father of a wonderful son and daughter – all grown up now! PS: I remember my own complete absorption as a small boy, given a sheet of paper and an HB pencil, then my poster colour jars and precious few sable brushes in my early teens – I was never so happy!

Not to enter into a dragged out conversation, but it’s very cheering to see that you’ve surmounted/are surmounting?! all that domestic trivia along with the darling littlies rapidly becoming biggies, with the attendant feeding; school (with bullying – I know about that!); daily fight to balance the books; the end of those tough days when you hit the pillow like a safe – plus; you found the energy to make something of your art! Most anything worthwhile is hard work isn’t it?
Bought some watercolours a while back; some acrylics – which are new to me – and some beautiful new brushes; which are a means to an end, after all. Now I’m terrified of resuming after all the years! Wish me luck with renewing a long-past love. I trust your artwork will bring you mucho income! Once more, I’m very pleased for you and your family!
While a user of Facebook and the usual emails, I’m totally unaccustomed to this ‘blog’ business, so hope that I’ve done things sensibly. Please don’t feel obliged to acknowledge. Gawrsh! I’m just now considering all the folks sending you words like I am. Phew!
Finally, with regard to children’s books and the immensely important illustrations; Hilary and I had rewarding times hunting down good children’s books on our precious Saturdays. Those books still sit safely on my shelves awaiting the return of Ben and Jocelyn someday to look at them again. Memories of my own childhood books with the wonderful drawings and colour plates, which I cheerfully gave away as I ‘outgrew’ them, return to my mind repeatedly. I miss those books! Sincerely, Keith.

Not at all, you can write as much or as little as you like.
My advice to you is just find a subject that you’d like to paint and just have fun, if you make a mistake, it doesn’t matter, keep going.
Just get those paints out of the tubes and have fun!
Perhaps start a blog too and upload your paintings!

Dear Doodlemum, I am spending the weekend away from the family to think things through. Reading the Guardian in my hotel bed I find you and your sketches.

It will fit perfectly into my weekend and even more perfectly between myself and my daughters once I get back. Thank you.

Well gosheroo, it seems rude not to answer. So: I was just thinking on your charming dots for eyes, not unique of course but nevertheless, your own, alongside your own style; certainly not Quentin . . . Part of the magic of course is the absence of eyebrows! We all have them, but what a nuisance they can be sometimes when you try and draw them to indicate mood. I sat with my daughter once when she was six/seven? (she had established drawing talent at nursery school) and I drew a series of circles for heads, then by example, drew the dots for eyes, then drew what many expressions could be shown by the tiniest wrinkle in the mouths and the eyebrows. She actually stopped sucking her thumb and almost snatched the pencil from me, the sooner to experiment with subtle eyebrow positions. (Go away Dad, I’m creating.) It’s interesting to remember too, that David Bowie in establishing his Ziggy Stardust persona, shaved off his eyebrows. No eyebrows has that . . . confrontational; ready when you are; I am blissfully confident; how lovely this life is, wild energy. Brows could only interfere. Having said all that, I hope that next time you’re inking one of your loved one’s faces onto the page, that you’ll do it with your usual spontaneous flair and not be suddenly aware of my interfering observations, ‘hem’hem. Was your own absence of eyebrows instinctive, or designed? The particular drawings ARE somehow complete without crowding them with those thingies . . . O artistic license!
Finally, I continue in silent terror over my timidity in drawing anything, let alone paint. I have two very good friends ( not that sure how they regard me! I talk about it; they do it); both professional artists: Nikki Holmes and Donald Cordery. If, with regard to yourself, you feel hampered by a lack of speed during all your waking hours, then take heart. Don, despite his utter disregard/unawareness of pace and time, has managed to paint the most stunning wildlife paintings I have ever seen in my life, yet remains in unspoken contempt? for, ‘doing things rapidly’ – it’s not in his psyche. After my having seen and worshipped a relatively minor study, in pencil, of a harvest mouse feeding itself at the head of an ear of wheat, he presented me weeks subsequently with another harvest mouse study. I almost cried. It is so beautiful, all carried out using, I guess, top quality pencils, all with needle points, used to create another impossibly delicate study of one of our tiny companions on this planet.
Nikki is consumed with his abstract views of life, but in his company at school, his drawing work was always finer than mine; a more delicate touch. It showed in our exam results: me, say 94%; Nikki, 97%, goddammit! Yet I wasn’t envious (honest) and sought their company so I could admire their skills. They make their living from their skills. Looks like you will do, as well. Yet again, well done, Angela! Regards, Keith
LikeLike
With regards to eyebrows it’s evolved over many years of drawing, sometime less is more and too many lines on a face can detract from the expression you want to convey. Sometimes lines under the eyes are just as important or the angle of hair or a hat can suggest the expression too. It’s what happens on the paper that’s the most important.
Terror is good, go do battle with your pen!

As promised I did set out to Waterstone to get your book last weekend. Well, I started off with their flagship store in Piccadilly, to avoid disappointment. I headed straight to the art section. Nothing. Then to the Grafic Novel. Nothing. Children? Nothing. Autobiography? Nothing. I went to ask. To my dismay they had it down to the Childbirth and Parenting section…. ONE copy! I looked and I looked but NO, it wasn’t there. Maybe it has sold or it has been misplaced, they said. Never mind. I said. So I walked to the branch in Covent Garden. I looked and did not find. I asked. Sorry we haven’t got it. It should be under the Humor section. They have one in Piccadilly (…) or Gower Str. Off I go to Gower Str, surely the one next to my beloved university won’t let me down. Same story. They have it but they do not know where. And so I came home empty handed.
I am telling you this story Doodlemum, to explain why I have not commented on your book yet but more importantly to check with whoever deals with your book that they give it an appropriate space in the bookshop. Why oh why was ever put in the parenting section alongside books on troublesome teenagers or gifted toddlers I do not know.
following faithfully.
LikeLike
Hmmm yes I can see the classification of this book is dividing book shops. Humour and parenting is the umbrella I’d classify this under. I’ll certainly send a message to my publisher to see what can be done.
If you feel making a passing comment to the shop in question would help too by all means go for it.
Perhaps an independent book shop would be more accomodating?

I will try an independent of buy from the Guardian website, afterall it is through it that I discovered it.
