I love adding doodles that go with my monthly theme to my bujo but… I’m not the best at drawing lol. If you’re anything like me, these step by step doodle tutorials will help you get your bullet journal looking super cute. I tried to cover both super easy tutorials and more complex ones for those who are better at doodling. So, no matter if you’re a bujo pro or just starting out, you’ll find something here that will help!

Here are the ones for Vol.1:

Books

Before bujo doodling, I didn’t feel like I could draw ANYTHING. I’m left-handed so teachers trying to teach me in school was impossible, I get frustrated, and I don’t have artistic parents to help me. Tutorials like this one absolutely save me, and I’ve come so far! If you’re wondering how to draw a book. She makes it incredibly simple. The book is lifelike, the overview is simple, and she even has step by step instructions

Light Bulb Moment

Everything begins with an idea, and a little light bulb going off in your head. When I really think about everything a light bulb can stand for, I realize how much I love doodles with them incorporated. Light bulbs signify new ideas, innovation, brightness, and positivity 💡Because of that, you’ll definitely want to know how to make them for your bullet journal doodles and trackers! Her tutorial is easy to understand, the light bulbs are professionally drawn, and she even gives different shapes of light bulbs

Spring Doodles

Spring is in the air, and so are the fresh and bright doodles to go with it! In my bullet journal, I have season themes in the months of December, April, July, and September. Spring is my absolute favorite doodling season, and a lot of it has to do with perfecting the seasonal artwork! In this doodle, you can learn to make tulips, umbrellas, flower pots, and eggs. The drawings are simple, cute, and very decorative. Spring has definitely sprung and I’m so excited that I almost wet my plants 😜

Simple Books

This is another version of a book doodle tutorial from your favorite book worms. I know, I know… I already posted one book tutorial. But this one is a way easier for those of you who are just beginning, and the books themselves turn out smaller so you’d use this drawing at different times. I like to track which nights I read in my habit tracker, and this cute and simple book makes it easy to draw a book or stack of books very quickly. I thought I’d share both and let you decide because this nerd uses both regularly!

Unicorn Step by Step

In high school, I had a unicorn themed bedroom. It was happy, sparkly, and full of life and uniqueness. You know how the famous quote goes… “in a field full of horses, be a unicorn”. I love that and I think it’s really important. Drawing a unicorn opened my bullet journal up to so many different themes. She makes it easy to draw, and the unicorn itself is so gorgeous and lifelike. This really is magical 🦄

Have you guys seen the Avengers movie? I saw it, but I learned that my dad is a movie theatre clapper… So at what cost? I love everything about the movies. I love buttery popcorn, reclining seats, and I even love to have an adult beverage here and there at the movies. If you’re looking for a good movie or acting doodle, this is a simple yet “showstopping” how to. I love the camera film, it’s so retro! And the popcorn looks just buttery enough for me to be munching on. Enjoy the show! 🍿

Cute Animals

I’m so bad at drawing animals. I don’t know what the problem is, but for some reason, little furry friends are the hardest concept for me to grasp. I can’t just have any old tutorial when trying to draw animals, I have to have one exactly like THIS. This simplifies and essentially dumbs down drawing the cutest of animals including a bunny, penguin, chick, and bear. She uses the simplest of shapes, the easiest of directions, and the most straightforward yet adorable drawing style. I use this in more than just my bujo doodles, but in everyday life. You’d be amazed at how many times you’ll catch yourself drawing these now that you can!

Step By Step Backpacks

Back to school means picking (and drawing) the perfect backpack. At the start of my freshman year of college, I finally caved and bought a Northface backpack and I’m so happy I did. It was more expensive but it never broke on me, it holds so much, and it’s designed with a student in mind. I would have thought because of the straps and folds of backpacks they would be extremely complicated to draw, but this tutorial makes it easy! It’s very lifelike and perfect for a back to school theme ✏️
