Doodling for the Soul

Doodling for the Soul

How's your doodling going? Mine from throughout May have been drawn inside my large Dylusions Creative Ledger Journal on the lovely smooth printed mixed media paper.

Inspired by Dyan Reaveley - Dylusions and her YouTube videos, I scribbled, doodled and coloured in patterns for 20-30 minutes each evening, most days, favouring the dot grid and graph lines which is why the dates are all over the place!

I found out that if I draw slower, my lines get neater, only took all month to remember this! 🤣 I need to do some more drawing to practice. Any excuse to create more art!

No need to only draw in May, why not enjoy 10-20 minutes of doodling every day, all life long. It really helps soothe the mind after a crazy busy day!

Hope my pages inspire you to have a go! There are no mistakes and no rules, simply make one mark, do another and continue until you wish to stop or the timer bleeps, whichever you choose.

Happy Arty Days!
