How to Use Autumn Doodles to Create a Seasonal Sketchbook Ritual

Autumn has a way of changing the pace. The days get cooler and quieter. Light falls differently. And somehow, everything feels a little more still.
For me, this is the season when creativity softens—not in energy, but in pressure. It’s the perfect time to return to my sketchbook, not to make something polished, but simply to connect. That’s where autumn doodles come in.
They’re not just tiny drawings—they’re moments. A way to mark the season, shift into a slower rhythm, and pay attention to what’s around me.
