(It’s probably worth it just for that monster image. This fun little font by PintassilgoPrints includes an actual font, but also all these totally cool graphic elements. This font of pre-Hispanic petroglyphs can get you started with, and maybe you can even make up your own little doodle language. Start with clean graphics and line drawings you find- if you practice your favorites a few times, you’ll commit them to memory and have them in your doodling arsenal for whenever you want them. If you balk at this approach or are simply looking for doodle ideas to add to your collection, take a scroll through this bottomless pit of doodle inspiration. It’s so much more relaxing and therapeutic for me that way. While it’s fun to see all the cute step-by-step drawing instructions, I like to take a more organic approach to doodling, and fill my pages with whatever comes to mind. I have been an obsessive doodler since childhood, using it to while away boring hours in school or church, and decorating hundreds of pages of notes I’ve taken in meetings or classes over the years.

It’s become absolutely cool to doodle all over everything, and doodling has been proven to help you retain information. Doodling has exploded in recent years, thanks to Bullet Journaling, Zentangle, and a renewed interest in sketchbooks and drawing.
