Doodling Prompts To Get You Working On Your Creativity
If you want to learn how to doodle, the best way to do it is by practicing. But surprisingly, it can get difficult to think of things to doodle.
This is exactly why I’m creating this post for you, full of doodling prompts that will give you ideas on what to doodle and get you into a habit of doodling every day.
I know when you get started, doodling seems like a secret talent only a few have. But the truth is – everyone can doodle; creativity is a muscle; you just need to train yourself.
I have a freebie for you at the end of the post to help you get started if this is where you are in your doodling journey.
But back to training your muscles – the best way to do that is by practicing. Even if it’s just doodling one thing a day, you’ll see your progress in time.
Below you’ll find a list of doodling prompts you can use to get into a habit of doodling every day.
We’ll start with something simple, just one item, and then move into some more difficult prompts, so you can find something that fits your level.

Best Doodling Supplies
Of course, you can’t doodle without your supplies, and here are some- of my recommendations.
- A notepad. If you plan to just use a pen, any piece of paper works, but if you want to color it, it’s best to use smooth paper, like on this notepad below.
- A4 in size
- Paper within the notepad is made from Clairefontaine 80 g Superfine Vellum
- 80 detachable micro perforated sheets
- Fineliners. Definitely the best pens for doodling out there. Below are my favorites.
- Precise Ink: Black ink creates precise marks that stand the test of time
- Point Size Variety: Contains 6 Micron 03 tip size pens for versatile use
- Durable Ink: Waterproof, fade resistant ink is quick drying and pH neutral
- Markers. If you do want to add color, you’ll need some markers. You can use anything you have, but for me the ones below are my favorites.
- Versatile creative tool! With a broad chisel tip at one end and fine bullet point at the other, these creative markers are great for highlighting, hand lettering and creative expression
- Bring your bullet journal or Bible study to life! Zebra Pen Mildliner Highlighters have a unique, mild color that makes any creative work a little more snazzy in the office, art department or studio
- Layer ink for extra creativity! Translucent, water-resistant ink in soft colors layers beautifully and won’t bleed through the page; Double ended marker-highlighters are perfect for coloring books
Now that you have all your supplies prepared let’s look into these prompts and start doodling.
