Welcome to Doodle Playground
Hello fellow artists!

This course came about because I got into a creative slump. I'd sit down at my art table with an art journal open... and just stare at a blank page. I'd get all caught up in my head and then decide I'm too tired to do art right now. This went on for days. Maybe weeks.

I thought, if only there was something that would just tell me what to do. I know that once I get started, continuing is a lot easier. At first, I started making a list of ways to break up the page. I did this for me. And I randomized it. Which is fun... but not enough.
And then, the prompt cards were born. I have a lot of fun creating these.

I create courses and products that I wish existed. If this were someone else's course, I would totally take it! I love the idea of gamifying the art journaling experience.
I truly hope you enjoy the cards and the video lessons. You now have the tools to overcome any blank page!
Questions?
I'm here to help. Shoot me an email, I would love to hear from you!

Strategy Cards Explained

The strategy card should be the first card you draw. It sets the stage for what you will do on your page. The prompt on each card is pretty self explanatory but I have listed where you can see examples of each.
