Draw your figure close to the text/information they're associated with.

You can draw: people

Michelle July 11, 2016

If you can draw squares and circles, you can add figures to your sketchnotes.

People are a quick and easy way to add variety, interest, and information to your notes. Drawing the posture and facial expression of your presenter, or their reaction to the quarterly results they're presenting, or even your reaction or feeling about the information you're listening to.

Maybe by adding figures the makeup of a team is easier and faster to explain than a paragraph of text.

Add info to the box-bodies to help explain concepts.

  • don't sweat the details, just get those figures drawn and move on

My buddy Toothless here, woke me up at 2.50am watching tv in the living room. He had the volume at an increasingly inconsiderate level. So i took the remote from him and turned tv off and told him to go. To. Sleep. Not on the remote this time.
