Looking for easy bullet journal doodles to add to your planner? It can be intimidating to start a journal, let alone draw in one, especially if you haven't drawn a day in your life.
In this post, I've collected a year's worth of doodles, so surely there will be something for you!
But doodling is not only a great stress-reliever, but it adds to the aesthetics of your journal. Having a journal you enjoy looking at will make you want to use it.
Doodles also is a great form of expression, it also can be the beginning of a new journey.
Through doodles, I learned just how much I love art, something I have forgotten about since being a child.
A bullet journal is a planner, an art book, a memory keeper, a self-motivator, and unique to you.
So get comfy because this is a long list, don't forget to save the images to your Pinterest boards for future reference :)
easy bullet journal flower doodles
Floral doodles are the perfect addition to any Bujo spread. You can never have enough florals and leaves in your notebook.
This border consists of only these simple doodles. It's pretty hard to believe—a whole month's theme using only a black fine pen tip and a gold gel pen.
A great tip is to always start with simple shapes. It lets you figure out your layout and makes drawing so much easier. Artists always create their process with basic shapes and then add details.
Not only does this make the process so much easier, but it is less intimidating.
So no matter your artistic skill level, always start with a guideline of simple shapes. When you are happy with the layout, you can go in with the details.
It may seem like an extra step, but it saves you time. Imagine doing a detailed drawing only to realize you are not happy with the layout and have to start all over again.
These are not as simple as the rest, but give these a try once you are more comfortable drawing florals.
Using different sized fine liners can achieve more dimension and have a more exciting illustration.
