Beginner Doodling Tips

Start Simple

Basic shapes (circles, squares, triangles) combine to make anything. A coffee cup is just a rectangle with a curved handle.

Use Reference

It’s not cheating! Pinterest, AI generators, and doodle books are all great references.

Embrace Imperfection

Wobbly lines add charm. The hand-drawn aesthetic is the whole point of bullet journaling.

Practice in Pencil First

Sketch lightly, then ink over. Erase pencil marks when dry for clean results.
