Floral drawing tutorial: What to do with those blank pages in your old planner.

Hey, it happens. Weeks go by and we forget to play in our planner. It even happens to me, and I make planners:

By the way, it is still on sale. Amazon put it on sale so I’m not sure when the sale will end. Get it tout suite.

Over here at headquarters, I’ve been cleaning out my office. I had a weird smell. I assumed it was one of my typewriters. Gosh they can stink sometimes. Rotting rubber and decay and dust. Gross. But I’m good at servicing my little clicky clackers. Turns out it was a table that was rotting underneath. GROSS.

But a good opportunity to deal with the papers.

Oh the papers we pile up over a year. Oh the plans we had that we didn’t get to, or we got to but didn’t write in our planner. So today I whipped up a little Floral Bouquet Tutorial in an empty spread in the planner. It might inspire you to fill up a few of the empty slots in your planner.

I’ve spent half of 2023 failing at video making and editing.

But I’ve learned a few things along the way. The video isn’t perfect but if I waited to share it, the plan to do so would likely fall into that pile of papers. Sad and forgotten. No one wants that.

This tutorial is all about starting with blobs, then sketching over top. It is meant to be quick, easy and cheerful. Give it a go.

Happy New Year!
