100+ step-by-step bullet journal doodle tutorials that anyone can draw

You might think that you are not a doodler.

But most of us have drawn random pictures on the last pages of a notebook during sleepy classes, at least once in our school/college life. 

And you need only those basic skills to start doodling in your bullet journal.

And, it turns out doodling has many benefits for your well-being as well. Now I don’t feel guilty about not listening to my History teacher when she was going on and on about a war that happened in 1566. How was it going to affect me anyway?

What I love about a bullet journal is, how it transforms to everything I want it to be. It helps me to plan my days, set goals, keep me focused on my goals, track habits, absorbs every intense emotion that I pass it to it without judgment (happens during journaling sessions), helps me get creative, etc.

When I say getting creative, it doesn’t mean I am a great artist or doodler. But once in a while, I like to draw simple doodles in my bullet journal. Since you are reading this post, I know you are looking for bullet journal doodle ideas too. 

Let’s get to it now. 

These are step-by-step doodle drawings so that you can follow along easily even if you think you don’t have good drawing skills. 

Let’s start?
