A collection of posts about my sketchbooks, bullet journals and other personal drawing projects – a little glimpse behind-the-scenes at Kate Hadfield Designs!
Over the past few days I’ve been busy digitising some more sketchbook doodles and turning them into colouring pages, this one is one of my favourites! This Easter doodle was the first kawaii style drawing I created (with the goodies from my very first Scrawlrbox!) so it was really fun to revisit it after all …
I have a fun new colouring page to share with you today! This doodled kawaii style page is based on a sketchbook drawing I created a while ago inspired by a weekly drawing challenge. The prompt for that week was “citrus” so I went to town doodling some cheeky, juicy citrus fruits hanging out together. …
Here’s another little peek into my 2018 bullet journal! I’m still using the same Scribbles That Matter A5 dot grid journal, I enjoy the structure of the dot grid (and how easy it makes drawing lines and boxes!) and the size is perfect for me. As the year went by, I found myself decorating the …
It’s time for another peek inside my bullet journal! I’ve continued this year in the same A5 dotted notebook as last year, adding spreads and lists as I go. I really like the flexibility of an undated planner – if I miss a week here or there there are no big empty pages staring at …
For the last couple of years I’ve been using my sketchbook as a place to experiment with colour and pattern and to try out new materials, rather than somewhere to work on my drawing technique. My sketchbooks have become more of an art journal project for me – something to dip in and out and …
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you might remember my post about the sketchbook projects my daughter and I were doing together inspired by Lisa Congdon’s Sketchbook Explorations classes. Today I’m sharing some more sketchbook doodles and patterns inspired by some of the classes and our family holidays to beautiful Cornwall! I …
I’ve shared a few creative planners here on the blog before, today I’m excited to be sharing my own planner with you! I have been using a modified bullet journal system for my day-to-day and business planning for a few years now (you can see more about the original bullet journal system here) but I’ve …
Coffee and donuts – yum! I created this kawaii style doodle in my sketchbook a while ago, and finally got round to scanning it in and creating a colouring page from it. The original drawing was inspired by an Instagram drawing challenge with a coffee theme, but I couldn’t resist sneaking in some cute little …
Last year I took part in a great creative project: Index Card A Day (you might remember me sharing my first few index cards here on the blog last summer!). With the project gearing up to start again, I wanted to chat about my experience and get my thoughts together in readiness for this year! …
My daughter and I are playing along with a new (to me!) creative challenge at the moment: Index Card a Day. As the name suggests, the premise is to create something (a drawing, doodle, painting, poem, calligraphy, art journalling, collage – anything goes!) on an index card everyday during June and July. ICAD is hosted …
A few weeks ago the April ScrawlrBox popped through my door (ScrawlrBox is a UK based art supply subscription – every month I get new lots of lovely new arty surprises by post!)! Here’s what treats this month’s box contained: Featured Artist card (April’s artist is manga illustrator Mina Petrovia aka Mistiqarts), ScrawlrBox sticker, card …
If you have been following me over on Instagram you might have seen some of my recent sketchbook pages and kawaii style doodles I’ve been playing around with! A little while ago I posted a photo of a sketchbook doodle and had several requests to turn it into a colouring page, so here it is! …
