30 Day Doodle Journal Challenge for Novices

Hi, I recently finished two journal swaps this month! Yay me! But, I’m craving to do more journaling!! My inspiration to create this swap came from (www.magenta-sky.com/online-courses/30-day-sketchbook-challenge/). All art skill levels are welcome to join this swap, however please note that this is a “novice swap,” so you may not have a partner that has the talent of Leonardo da Vince. This swap does require effort and commitment, so I recommend not joining if you can’t meet swap deadline.

Here are the details:

For this swap, the mediums you may use are: any type of paint (acrylic, watercolor, etc), charcoal, crayon, oil pastel, colored pencils, pen and pencils. You may use a combination of mediums mentioned above. This is not a paper collage/sticker slapped, pasting type of journal and may not be used at all in your journal.

Your journal may be handmade or store bought, but it must be at least “3.5 x 5.5” (think pocket notebook, field notes..) or bigger with at least 30 pages. If you do use a journal with more than 30 pages, you will only have to fill 30 pages. You will doodle on the front side of the page, back side is totally optional.

At the top of each of your journal page, you will write the title of the prompt (i.e. #1 or Day 1: Describe yourself in doodle form). At the bottom of each of your journal page, you will write a short/brief sentence of what you drew, so that your swap partner can better understand what you drew.

Here are your doodle prompts that are required to be in your journal. Your doodles may be in any order, as long as it is somewhere in your journal. Try to limit words in your artwork and let your doodle do the talking!
