Plus, these little drawings give your journal a personal touch, making it truly yours.
And the best part is, you don’t need to be Picasso to start doodling. All you need is a pen, your Bullet Journal, and a dash of enthusiasm. So whether you’re a seasoned artist or someone who still draws stick figures (like me when I started), you can master doodling with these tutorials.

Stationery Recommendations
Of course, when it comes to doodling, you can use anything you already have.
But if you want to get something special, here are some of my favorite doodling supplies.
- A comfortable pencil. I always recommend you use a pencil first when you doodle so you can make sure your doodle is the best it can be before you add a permanent pen. That means you’ll spend a lot of time using a pencil so it’s best to have one with a comfortable grip. I recommend Pilot Dr. Grip Pencil.
- Fineliner. A good fineliner with its dark black lines is a perfect pen for doodling. I recommend Sakura Pigma Micron, and they come with different nib sizes so you can add more variety to your drawings.
- Markers. In case you’re really into adding color to your doodles like I am, you’ll need some markers to do that. My top pick is Zebra Mildliners, but I can also recommend Crayola Super Tips since they come in a pack with many colors and are pretty affordable.
Now that you have all the supplies ready let’s start doodling!
Simple Doodles To Draw
Doodling is as simple as drawing basic shapes like squares or circles. Really, it’s a skill like anything else, and it just takes some practice to master.
So here are a few tutorials to help you get started on that practice and get the confidence to keep it up.
How To Doodle: A Pencil
A pencil is your basic item to set down and doodle, so you might as well start your doodling session by drawing a pencil.
Especially since it’s a really easy doodle to do.
You can also add a lot of customization to it as well, by using different colors and making it thinned or thicker.
How To Doodle: A Cupcake
I don’t know about you, but I have a sweet tooth, and I love adding sweet doodles to my Bullet Journal as well.
So here is a simple little doodle of a cupcake! And again, you can play around with colors so much to make it your own.
How To Doodle: A Planner
If you’re in this blog, you’re probably into planning, be it a Bullet Journal or any other type of paper planner.
So, of course, we have to doodle that! And as you can see again, this is a very easy thing to draw.
How To Doodle: A Pie
Who doesn’t like a slice of hot pie?
And it’s a perfect doodle to decorate your Bullet Journal pages in November for Thanksgiving or pretty much any other month when you feel like having a baking theme.
How To Doodle: Popcorn
Popcorn is an easy doodle that works so well for Bullet Journal collections.
I definitely use it for movies and TV show trackers or some self-care pages.
How To Doodle: A Coffee Cup
Coffee is a universal doodle that can be used to decorate all the pages you can think of. I love using coffee as a full-on Bullet Journal theme.
Like with every doodle, you can play around with the size, colors and the more rounded or more square feel of the doodle.
How To Doodle: A Camera
Cameras are a fun doodle, and if you play around with colors, you can make it fit any style and any season.
As you can see in this example, I went for bright summer-style colors.
How To Doodle: And Umbrella
I think this is a perfect doodle for any Spring-themed Bullet Journal pages.
As you can see, I went for an animated type of umbrella, making it look more like a frog. but you can definitely avoid these elements and end up with your traditional umbrella doodle.
How To Doodle: Books
Last but not least is this tutorial for book doodles.
These are cozy, and you can customize colors and decorative patterns to make it look fitting your aesthetics.
