In this post, there are 105 different bullet journal doodles. But most of them are step-by-step. Most importantly they are in 15 different categories of doodles.
Bullet journals aren’t all for productivity. Half of the fun is all the different possibilities for themes and drawings. Which includes all the bullet journal doodles that you can include.
I know firsthand that since there are so many themes it can be hard to decide where to start. Continue reading to find inspiration for your next theme in your bullet journal. Or to find a specific doodle that you already had in mind.
What are Bullet Journal Doodles?
A doodle is a quick drawing that can be of whatever your heart desires. This can be as simple as squiggles you draw on the top of a paper when you’re bored.
The difference is, that this doodle goes in your bullet journal. Doodles are a way to give your bullet journal a little bit more life and to show your creativity.
Your doodles can also bring out a theme for that month. The main point is it can be fun to draw in general. It can also be a bunch of doodles that go together. Or they can seem a little random. But it’s your bullet journal so do with it whatever you would like!
Our Favorite Bullet Journal Doodle Supplies
We like these bullet journals because they are an inexpensive option for beginners in bullet journaling.
These mildliners have great pigment and have two sides to them. Plus they come in a lot of different colors.
These pens are erasable and great for beginners, or perfectionists that need to erase a lot (speaking from experience on that one).
We don’t personally use the markers a lot but they are still a great choice if you want some different kinds of supplies.
There are also highlighters and there is a bigger pack if you want more colors. These are an option if you would prefer the erasable still and don’t want the mildliners.
Doodle Ideas for your Bullet Journal
Below are many different types of bullet journal doodles that you can add to your own! There are doodles from plants and animals to space and school.
1. Plant Doodles
