A huge part of bullet journaling is the lovely doodles that you can put into your journal. What if you lack artist skills? There is hope! I went through Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube and found some of the best of the best in how to bullet journal doodle accounts and videos.
While not all the accounts are solely about doodling, all have some pretty awesome guides teaching you how to doodle yourself. Even if you currently do not have any artistic skills at all.
Artists are not born with a natural gift to draw. We learned to draw and continued to practice. No matter what age you are you can learn to draw, paint, use watercolors, or any other number of artistic skills. It is possible that you too can be an artist.
It takes practice to improve a skill like drawing, nobody comes out of the womb with this skill. You were either interested in learning it or not. You don’t need talent to become a skilled artist, you just need practice. The accounts I’m sharing today will help you with exactly that.
Bullet Journal Doodles
Part of the charm of bullet journals is your ability to doodle throughout it. You can add full pages dedicated to doodling or you can add small doodles to all of your different spreads.
It’s extremely popular to create a theme for an entire month. You can create a doodle page for all the doodles that match the theme you choose. Then put those doodles in throughout all of your monthly spreads.
You can even create doodle tutorial spreads so that you can reference how you did different doodles. These can be in your actual bullet journal or you could start a seperate doodle diary holding all of your different doodle ideas.
Either way I highly recommend getting a drawing pad that you can use to practice all your doodles. Mistakes will happen in your actual journal from time to time but with practice somewhere else it’s less likely to happen.
Before we get started here is a list of my recommended supplies. Recommended Products
From time to time the Scribbles that Matter Journal is sold out on Amazon. When this happens third party sellers will try to sell the journal for an insane amount of money. DO NOT BUY THAT! Scribbles that Matter should be back in stock soon. My second favorite journal is the Essentials Dot Matrix, though I warn you the pages on this one are thinner and bleeding and shadows show up on opposite sides. However, it's a decent cheap journal if you are in a pinch and just want to get started.

Final Thoughts On Bullet Journal Doodles
There is no rule that you need to include doodles in your bullet journal. You can just as easily get way with fun fonts. However, if you are fearing messing up your bullet journal spread with a doodle, try it out first on scrap paper or on a drawing pad.
You may find that doodles are just not your bullet journal style and that is ok. While doodling offers some great stress relieving qualities it’s important to try them out on something other than your bullet journal. Additionally, you can sketch them out with pencil and trace them in once they are complete.
