Who we are
Our style is based on spontaneous strokes that capture the essence of a moment. We don't seek perfection, but genuine expression. Every doodle tells a small story.
“A doodle is not a mistake, it's an opportunity to play with the pencil.”
We combine graphic tablets and digital brushes with traditional watercolor and ink techniques. The result is pieces that feel handmade, but with the flexibility of the digital medium.
“Technology doesn't replace the hand, it accompanies it.”
We design challenges and tutorials meant to disconnect. From a magical forest to portraits with minimal lines, each project is made so you enjoy the process, not just the result.
“Art doesn't have to be perfect, it has to be yours.”
We believe creativity grows when shared. That's why we organize live drawing sessions, sketchbook swaps, and weekly challenges. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their level.
“Every stroke adds up, every person contributes.”
We believe in drawing as a space of freedom, without judgment or rigid rules. Our mission is to offer a corner where creativity flows and every stroke is a step towards calm.
We don't seek technical perfection, but the pleasure of doodling. Here every line counts, even if it goes off the edge.
The result: more confidence and less creative block.We promote techniques that anyone can try with a pencil, paper, or a basic tablet. Art shouldn't depend on expensive tools.
The result: a community that draws with what they have on hand.Everyone has their own tempo. We encourage short exercises and weekly challenges that adapt to busy schedules, without stress.
The result: sustainable habits that enrich everyday life.We share references from current illustrators, everyday landscapes, and simple emotions. No forced poses or abstract themes.
The result: ideas born from what you see and feel.Our story
In 2018, Joel Saldivar began sharing his digital doodles on social media. What started as a hobby to disconnect from work soon resonated with hundreds of people looking for a gentle way to express themselves. No pretensions, just loose strokes and pastel colors.
Two years later, the project became official: we opened a small online store with downloadable prints and doodle starter kits. In the first year, we sold over 500 notebooks. In 2021, we launched live virtual workshops, with an average of 40 attendees per session. Today, ArteDoodle brings together more than 3,000 creators who find in drawing a space of calm and play.
Clear answers to start drawing without complications.
No, doodle art is for everyone. You just need the desire to draw and a notebook. Start with loose lines, scribbles, and simple shapes; practice will lead you to create more elaborate illustrations.
An HB pencil, a fine-tip black pen, and good quality paper are enough. If you prefer digital, a basic tablet and a program like Procreate or Krita will give you the freedom to experiment.
With 15 or 20 minutes a day, you will notice progress in a few weeks. The key is consistency, not quantity. A small doodle each day trains your eye and hand without pressure.
Yes, many artists sell prints, stickers, or notebook designs. The important thing is that you develop your own style. We share tips on licenses and platforms so you can take that step when you feel ready.
