You’ll turn these designs into multiple groupings and combinations by building off the foundation pieces Sarah will teach. In doing so, you’ll be ready to create your own set of personal go-to designs, practice fillers, and develop the muscle memory of drawing the doodles. Sarah will show you how to use a variety of rulers and stencils to help create basic shapes and line guides for the doodling. Supply List click here
