Creative Boost for Friday: Join the May Doodle Challenge with a Splash of Color

Hello creative friends!

Sketchbook page showing colorful hearts and doodles for the May Doodle Challenge prompt “Color Splash” – creative art inspiration.

 Happy Friday—and an early cheers to a wonderfully creative weekend!

How are you doing? What’s on your creative table today (or what’s waiting patiently for your attention)? Whether it’s five minutes or a full hour, I hope you find a little pocket of time just for you.

If you’re feeling a bit stuck or unsure how to get started, here are a few no-cost, low-pressure ways to get your creativity flowing this weekend:
  • Grab a pen and doodle freely on the back of a receipt or envelope
  • Take a color walk—notice and name 5 bright things you see
  • Set a 1-minute timer and draw whatever comes to mind—no judging!
  • Make a mini mood board with magazine scraps or digital images
  • Trace your hand and fill it with patterns, colors, or words
Now… are you joining in on the May Doodle Challenge? If so—yay! And if not, it’s never too late to jump in.

Today’s prompt is: Color Splash!

I’m sharing a page from my sketchbook to give you a little peek into how I’m interpreting the prompt, and I’d love to see yours too. This is meant to be fun, light, and a joyful warm-up!

 Here are a few quick 1-minute doodle ideas to get you started:
  • Hearts bursting into color

Just play. Just enjoy.
