My goal for my August bullet journal layouts was to do them all in one sitting. I created them while traveling out of the country, and wanted to keep them low key. So, simple was the name of the game, and that included limiting the number of pens I used too. I originally tried to only pick one marker color. But ended up letting myself use two markers, as well as my black pen.
​

I ended up choosing the #912 Tombow dual brush pen for my main color. I actually picked it up while out exploring Toronto. I came across this brightly painted super cool old heritage-building-turned-art-store called Above Ground Art Supplies. I highly recommend giving it a look if you're in the neighborhood. It's also next to a cool park. Anywho.
​

​And because I couldn't resist adding a second color in for line highlights, I also used another Tombow dual brush in more of a tan color. Unfortunately the number has rubbed off the side, so I couldn't tell you which one.

For the black, I use one of these Drawing Pens in size 01 for most of my writing. With a few touches of a random thicker black marker (.4 size I believe) for emphasis on some titles.
​

I tried my best to keep the spreads both simple, and still visually interesting. 
​

While not truly minimal, this is definitely minimal for me, and helped me to accomplish my goal of doing my monthly spreads all in one sitting.
