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.
