Doodle Challenge
Of all things creative, I love doodling the most!
It is always my go-to for
reducing stress & boosting my creativity,
all while helping me process all sorts of heavy baggage.
Who would have thought this wonderful mark-making could be so powerful!?
And this is why I have created this free challenge. To get the message out there!
In this challenge, you'll learn how to create over 30 doodles, and use them in a mix & match fashion to create 3 of your own unique projects.
What's Included?
Doodle Guide Sheets
of over 30 doodles. Download and print, and have at the ready to reference when you're practicing and using the doodles in your projects.
How -To Videos
showing you exactly how to create each of those 30+ doodles featured in the guide sheets in the 3 how-to videos (one video for each of the 3 projects).
Project Videos
showing you everything you need to know to mix-and-match 30+ different doodles to create 3 different projects, using black pen on white paper.
Project Templates
The projects come with downloadable & printable templates so you can start creating with your doodles right away. No need to draw anything from scratch.
Gift your creations!
You'll be so proud of what you create from the projects, you will want to gift them far and wide!
Make framable prints, bookmarks (even ones on patterned paper like the one featured left), greeting cards...
You may even want to gift yourself. If you love to journal or art journal, why not use these doodles there, and make your journal pages sparkle with creativity!
The world is your oyster.
This Challenge may even inspire your own gift ideas!
How doodling helps your well-being
Creating muscle memory is what it's all about.
The more you practice making the doodles, the more muscle memory you build.
You want the creation of these doodles to become second nature - to a point where you could doodle in your sleep.
Where your brain is able to switch off from concentrating on what you're drawing, and enter a meditative state of calm & creative flow.
That's when the magic happens.
✨✨✨✨✨
My How-To videos play at a decent speed, not too slow and not too fast, so as to optimise your learning.
They not only show you how to create each doodle but also encourage you to create whole pages of each doodle - to build that muscle memory to invite that meditative state.
Doodle Toolkit
Whether you go basic or fancy, these supplies below won't break the bank!
Basic Kit
Copypaper
Pen (any kind or colour you like)
Regular grey sketching pencil
Eraser
Fancy Kit
- If you'd like to get a little fancier, why not get a fancy journal to doodle in?! I personally LOVE a dot/bullet journal. (Who needs rulers to interrupt the flow when you have a grid of light grey dots guiding you on the page?!) They come in VERY handy for those more geometric of doodles. Look how pretty this (click link) one is. Spoiler alert - the prettier the journal, the more you'll doodle! I speak from experience here ☺️
- A black pigment liner (pen). (Waterproof is handy but NOT essential) My most favourite is this Artline in a size of 0.4. (0.5 will also be fine)
Kit To Add Colour
A set of coloured fineliners.
I love using my set of Staedtler Triplus Fineliners. There are 20 colours to choose from, with a tip size of 0.3mm.
So whenever I get bored of doodling in black pen, I grab these babies!
Find them here on Amazon.
Who is Doodling For?
Those who tell themselves they're not creative
Actually doodling boosts focus & productivity, and makes you MORE creative than ever!
Those in need of BIG picture thinking.
Ever heard the expression 'miss the forest for the tree?' Well, doodling can help you take in the whole forest!
Those who've been told, 'you need to listen more!'
Doodling keeps you in a state where your mind can’t wander, and your mind can’t also reflect or think more deeply about what you’re hearing.
Those feeling tense, frustrated, anxious, or depressed.
It can be difficult to convey those feelings in words.
It's time to put pen to paper. The repetitive motion of moving the pen across the page making the same shape over and over is known to lull you into a calm state.
A picture can speak a thousand words, and my happy doodles are sure to lift the spirits!
