As part of my graphic facilitation practice, I’m committing to getting my big markers in hand every day. That could mean just practicing lettering or drawing icons at a flip chart, even just for a few minutes. Or it could mean listening practice—recording a podcast on a flip chart or a 4’x8’ sheet. Or it could mean, like today, writing out my to-do list on a flip chart. 🖍
As long as I’m doing *something* that uses *some* of my graphic facilitation skills, it counts! 😊
🖍
That’s how we grow: flexing the muscles we want to build. One step at a time, we move forward toward our goals. 😊
🖍
What muscles are you wanting to develop? What steps are you committing to take to get yourself there?

After 3 days at a @groveconsultants graphic facilitation workshop with the fabulous @malgosiakostecka, I am inspired and motivated to practice with my #neulandmarkers every day! Lettering, drawing, listening, layout—*something*. Even just a minute at a flip chart is better than nothing! And there’s never a shortage of things to improve on. Arrows and boxes are hard, for example (straight lines and symmetry: NOT my strong suits!) But these faces are so fun to draw! They’re just a U, an L or w for a nose, and dots or upside-down u’s for eyes, c’s for ears, add a neck, mouth, and some squiggles for hair, and voilá! A happy person!
🖍
I can’t wait to take another workshop with Malgosia! If all the Grove trainings are as good as this one, I’ll probably take them all eventually. Off the chain! 👍👍👍👍👍

Today’s doodle turned into an exploration of what 8 repeating (almost) parallel lines will do. .

A teeny-tiny doodle to start the day. A caterpillar and a tiny upside-down critter showed up in this one.

You never know what will appear in an improvisational morning doodle! 😊
