Happy New Year & welcome to 2022! I am so excited for this new year & all the creative ideas to explore. I’m starting this year off with a bang featuring fireworks on January 2022’s cover page! I’m expecting fireworks all year long with lots to celebrate 🙂

This was a free handed design, created in my favorite Fabriano journal. I started with the smaller firework, gradually making them bigger as they reached the top of the page. I used my Pentel GraphGear 500 mechanical pencil to outline the fireworks. Who knew fireworks could be so tricky to doodle! I brought the design to life by adding little dots and dashes to make the fireworks look realistic, like they are exploding in the sky.

I used a bunch of different tools for the color hues of the fireworks. The blue hues are from my Crayola SuperTips 100 pack. I used a silver sharpie to give my fireworks some luminance and pizazz. I finished off the design with a thin black 005 micron pen to give the fireworks some definition. Since this design was a busy one, I decided to stick with one color theme and use different shades of blue. I love the consistency of the colors in the design and the how pretty the blues look exploding across the page.

Thanks for checking out my first bullet journal cover design of 2022. I’m wishing all of you a year full of art and creativity. May you be guided to wonderful places and come across many amazing opportunities in 20221! Please keep tagging me in your recreated designs and make sure to subscribe below to stay connected.
