Hello Doodlers and Creative Planners!
June is underway, and I'm still drawing every day, even though I've decided to skip a formal drawing challenge this month.Instead of following a list of daily prompt words, I'm focusing more on my Creative Planner and allowing each day's sketch to grow naturally from the previous day's idea. My hope is that one drawing will spark the next, creating a month of connected creativity and exploration.
I've set up my Creative Planner with a title page, a monthly overview page, and then twenty 20-square grid pages. My goal is to fill all 20 pages by the end of June! It's a simple challenge, but one that encourages consistent creative practice without feeling overwhelming.
Here's a peek at one of my recent pages where I brainstormed sunflower and bee designs for a new tracing pack. Sometimes the best ideas come from giving yourself space to play and explore.

A Quick-Start Doodle Idea
Need help getting started on a fresh page?
Try drawing a circle and dividing it into six sections. Then add stripes to every second section.
That's it!
It's a simple, relaxing way to get your pen moving, connect your hand and mind, and ease into a new page without worrying about what to draw.
For more quick-start doodles, planner pages, and behind-the-scenes creativity, be sure to tune into my Instagram channel.
Have a wonderful week, keep creating, and if you'd like a little extra inspiration and support, I'd love for you to join my Creative Planner Newsletter.
Happy doodling!
