A Page and News

Been busy with getting videos together for the online Doodle Camp 2013, July 8-12! It’s gonna be a blast so make sure you register for the early-bird fee of $25. After June 18, it goes up to $35. AND, I will only take registrations until the first day of camp! Remember: I’m teaching my new workshop, Journal by Design, on dawndsokol.com starting the week after Doodle Camp! I’ll be presenting a bunch of magazine design principles I’ve learned during my print career that can help you look at journaling in a whole new way. If you take both classes, you can get an even deeper discount!

Also, a reminder about my in-person teaching gigs in the fall:

I’m teaching at the beautiful Loon Lake Lodge outside of Vancouver, B.C., Sept. 16-19! Come join us for Into the heART! We are going to have SO MUCH FUN at this retreat! I can’t wait for it...I hope the leaves are turning when we’re there. I LOVE autumn! And there are some great teachers such as Vivienne McMaster, Violette Clark, and Dale Ann Potter!

And Little Bird Creations in NYC has just listed my classes for Sept. 28-29! I am so excited to be invited back there...Michele has created such a wonderful venue! We are going to make an Ode to NYC Journal the first day, and then we’ll take a background-making journey in Back to the Journal...These are two new classes I’ve never taught anywhere else!

Join me, won’t you? Have a GREAT day!!!

The Artist Hub

Just wanted to let you know I’ll be a part of The Artist Hub over at Sissy Sparrows in a few months! Make sure to look for it and check out all the great artists featured over there!

The BIG Journal Show

A flip-through of my Big Journal...Most of the spreads in the first half of the book were created with Art Doodle Love backgrounds in mind. Some of them actually made it into the book!

Don’t forget to register NOW for Doodle Camp!

One Shape, 10 Minutes

For today’s 10-Minute Journaling, I want you to focus on one SHAPE to doodle. It can be whatever basic shape you want it to be. Doodle it however you want to on your page:

Start filling some of the shapes in:

Add to those shapes. You can outline them as a group to make them one big shape:

Keep adding to it:

Add more until you fill the page or until you feel done with it. Color in those shapes, etc. and just have fun!
