Hirameki – ‘brainwave’ or ‘flash of inspiration’ in Japanese – is where doodling and imagination come together. Simply put, it’s the art of turning a random blot into something amazing, just by adding a few dots and lines. If it’s true that you can find happiness in little things, this book should keep your eyes, hand and brain entertained for hours. In Japanese, Hirameki means a flash of inspiration, which is just what artists Peng + Hu had when they saw a cow with a splotch that looked just like a famous film star – and realized that even the splodgiest blot could be easily turned into something amazing. Since then, their passion for collecting blots and dots has taken over their lives. Highly creative and a little bit anarchic, this is the perfect outlet for all those who are bored by drawing inside the lines. It’s for everybody: even the most inexperienced doodlers can produce hundreds of sensational scribbles. Readers hone their Hirameki skills in seven sections, allowing them to progress from single drawings to complete blot-to-blot scenes. Artists Peng + Hu guide the reader with prompts and hints.–Publisher description.
