Another flipchart sketchnote (25”x25” this time) from the fabulous @jordanharbinger show. This time with @gretchenrubin, discussing her Four Tendencies book and framework, which make SO MUCH SENSE! 🖍
Which tendency resonates most for you? I’m primarily Obliger, but I’ve got some Upholder and some Rebel in me, too, and a little Questioner, as well!
🖍
If you haven’t checked out Jordan’s podcast, it’s worth a listen. There’s a reason he grew his former podcast to one of the top podcasts on iTunes. Not only does he get top-shelf guests, but he researches the heck out of them and is a top-shelf interviewer (as he says in this interview, he’s finally found a use for his Questioner tendency! 😅)
🖍
Meanwhile, I’m still climbing the visual note-taking mountain. And it is still HARD! I’d like to include more VISUALS, rather than be so text-heavy. That’s my “leading edge,” along with layout. But I got Neuland pens last night—yay! And I figured out how to process this image in Scan Scribe to drop out the paper background. Win!
🖍
That part is not likely to happen regularly —WAY too time-consuming for a quick Insta-share—but it’s neat to know I *can*. 😊
🖍
Thanks to everyone for encouraging me on this visual notetaking journey! More flipchart sketchnotes coming soon! 🖍

Dashing off some letters with my NEW NEULAND MARKERS, to show the variety of stroke width you can get with each pen. 🖍
I’m especially loving that ArtMarker—brush markers are just so luscious in my hand, even though I started off with broad edge nibs way back when.
🖍
At the bottom is my version of Neuland *calligraphy*, not to be confused with the @neulandcom pen and facilitation supply company. (Confusing, I know!)
🖍
I’m actually teaching a weekend workshop in my version of Neuland *calligraphy* through the @friendsofcalligraphy in Albany, CA, April 7-8. New-World Neuland (or Pen Manipulation Through the Back Door). (Neuland markers NOT required—we’ll be using 5mm Zig markers, in fact! 😄)

Bikablo®-style icon practice with my NEW NEULAND MARKERS!!! 😆
🖍
We drove to FedEx to get the package yesterday, because I couldn’t bear to risk another missed delivery today! 🖍
So far I’m favoring the ArtMarkers (brush pens) the most, but I have more wedge outliners. Ah, well. I’ll learn to love them, I suppose. 🖍
You have to let yourself suck at something for awhile in order to learn to unsuck at it! 😊

Playing with different styles of faces and expressions on the back of a flip chart.
And here’s the sad thing: my Neuland markers (and bikablo® books!) arrived today, but I was on a video call, and didn’t answer the door when FedeEx rang!

Waaaahhhhh!!!!! 😩

I could have been playing with my new Neuland markers TODAY!
Well, they are supposed to attempt delivery again tomorrow morning, and I will be READY!
Can’t WAIT!! #visualpractice #visualcommunication #visualnotes #newskill #newskills #learning #sketchnote #sketchnoting #graphicrecording #graphicrecorder #infodoodle #creativesandbox #creativesandboxway #doodle #doodles #doodleart #doodleartist #doodlesofinstagram #dailydoodle2018 #dailydoodle #dailycreative #dailyart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #originalart #originalartwork

Day 3 of The Half-of-March challenge hosted by @carla.la.la.olson inside the Creative Sandbox Community is “snow.” It took me longer to take this photo than to draw the picture! 🤣
