In order to fill up more sketchbooks, which is on my bucket list for 2015, I’m having fun coming up with new drawing prompts, so I’ve been trying to sketch A LOT more lately. One thing I’m doing is a monthly calendar, but instead of using it like a diary, I’m using it to do a daily doodle.
For the month of June I continued to find inspiration in our backyard and neighborhood. I slacked off a bit and ended up getting really behind so I had a lot of doodles to catch up on. Luckily I take lots of pictures to refer to for inspiration.
I prepared a new grid for July with more room in the borders. I’m tossing around ideas for a new theme – butterflies, more flowers, letters, paint a watercolor background for each day, food, clothes, shoes, things you might find on the beach or maybe a continued hodge-podge of ideas.
Time slips away when I’m working in my sketchbook, especially when I have a fun beat going in the background. As you can tell, I’m passionate about drawing and creating beautiful art and surface patterns. Since I’m on a roll, I think I’ll keep going.

Wow – what a great idea and such a lovely result at the end of the month. Might nab this idea from you – would also be good for my two girls, who we home educate, as a small bit of art each and every day.
Thanks so much! It’s a fun and challenging project to do, even when I get a little behind. Hope you get a chance to try it. I would love to see pictures so please share.
