Would you like to create easy floral doodles to decorate your journals? Are you looking to add hand-sketched floral details to personalize your bullet journals? Hi, Friends! I’m Ian DJ from the Archer & Olive Ambassador team and RavenFox13 on Instagram. Today, I’m excited to show you how to create beautiful floral doodles with just your pens! I’ve selected five simple floral designs and provided step-by-step instructions to help you draw them with ease. Plus, I’ve included a few sample spreads that showcase these florals—whether used individually or combined. So grab your pens, and let’s get creative with these fun doodles!

The materials that we will be using today are

• Archer & Olive Notebook 
• Archer & Olive Calliograph Pens
• Pencil and eraser
• Fine liners and gel pens

1. Easy Flower One

• Let’s begin our first floral doodle by drawing a small circle. (You can practice drawing circles in different sizes to make the process easier.)
• Next, add light guidelines to divide the circle into four equal parts by sketching an X and Y axis.
• To help shape the petals, lightly sketch a larger circle around the first one as a boundary for their size. (You can erase this guide later.)
• Now, start doodling curved lines from one mark to the next, forming four symmetrical petal shapes. Continue refining the petals until you’re happy with the look!
• For a variation, you can divide the circle into eight sections instead of four and create a flower with eight petals.

2. Easy Flower Two

• Let’s begin our second floral doodle by drawing a small circle. 
• Next, add light guidelines to divide the circle into four equal parts by sketching an X and Y axis. (This time do it as if you’re doing an X mark)
• To help shape the petals, lightly sketch a larger circle around the first one as a boundary for their size. (You can erase this guide later.)
• Now, start doodling a longer petal shape with some scallop edges from one mark to the next, forming four symmetrical petal shapes. Continue refining the petals until you’re happy with the look!
• For a variation, you can add a petal in between petals, and create a flower with eight petals.

3. Easy Flower Three (Five petal flower)

For this floral doodle, we’ll be using two pens—one with a thick tip and another with a fine tip.

• Let’s start our third floral doodle by drawing a larger circle than the previous two, using the thick-tip pen.
• Next, use the fine-tip pen to add scribble-like marks inside this circle.
• With the thick-tip pen, doodle small circles around the medium-sized circle. Then, use the fine-tip pen to draw lines connecting the small circles to the center circle.
• To shape the petals, lightly sketch a larger circle around the design as a guide for their size. (You can erase this guide later.)
• Begin by drawing the first petal with a rounded shape. Then, draw two similar petals opposite the first one. Finally, add two more petals in between to complete the design.

4. Easy Flower Four (Eight/Sixteen petal flower)

• Let’s start by creating the center of the flower. Draw a teardrop shape and repeat it in a circular pattern until it forms a small, rounded cluster.
  Expand the shape by adding scalloped lines around it, continuing until you reach your desired size.
• Next, lightly sketch a larger circle around the center to guide the size of your petals. (You can erase this guide later.)
• Draw the first elongated petal with scalloped edges—similar to the shape of a cosmos flower.
  Create four petals in a cross-like arrangement, then add another petal between each one until you have a total of eight petals.
• For added variety, you can continue adding petals in between to create a fuller, sixteen-petal design.

5. Easy Flower Five 

• Let’s begin by creating the center of the flower. Using the fine-tip pen, draw a teardrop shape and repeat it in a circular pattern to form a small, rounded cluster.
• Next, expand the design by adding scalloped lines around the center, continuing until you reach your desired size. For this step, switch to the thick-tip pen and keep adding scalloped lines to build up the center—think of the middle of a sunflower for inspiration.
• Lightly sketch a larger circle around the center to guide the size of your petals. (You can erase this guide later.)
• Then, draw light guidelines by sketching an X and Y axis to divide the circle into four equal parts. Continue dividing the sections until you have sixteen equal parts.
• Finally, add round petals with stylized edges, filling each section one by one until your flower has 16 or more petals

6. Let’s add some leaves

• Begin by drawing a line to serve as the center of the leaf.
  Next, add a curved shape extending from one end of the line to the other.
  Experiment with different curves and levels of symmetry to create a variety of leaf shapes.
• For vines or stems with multiple leaves, always sketch a light guideline first. This helps keep the design flowing naturally and looking more organic.

I’ve created a printable for you to practice all five floral doodles featured in this blog. Be sure to print the second page, where you can practice different techniques for adding depth to your floral designs. Use your Calliograph pens to add color to the flowers, experimenting with methods like block coloring, stippling, flicking, or contouring with different line styles.
