How to start doodling
- Pick a pen. A fine black marker or a gel pen gives clean, even lines.
- Draw small. Doodles look best at about the size of a stamp.
- Repeat. Draw the same doodle five times in a row; it gets neater every time.
- Mix and match. Put a heart next to a star and a cloud and you already have a border.
Your turn: the practice page
The practice page has six empty boxes with a light dot grid. Pick six ideas from this page, draw one in each box and write its name on the line.
Where to use your doodles
- Bullet journal: add a few doodles next to each week or habit tracker.
- Cards and notes: doodle a small border around your message.
- Lunch box notes: a smiley face or a heart makes a note more fun.
- Gift wrap: cover plain paper with repeating doodles.
