A quick glance into my sketchnote/scribing process

I thought it would be worth sharing an example of how I produce sketchnotes/scribe material.

I thought it would be fun to share my scribing process. Thanks to the guys at Scriberia I took a look at this excellent Ted Talk by Shawn Achor:

They recommended a two hour timescale so I watched the video through and made these notes in my sketchbook:

Then I picked up Procreate on my iPad and organised my initial thoughts into something more accessible. Here is a timelapse of the process:

For me the process is often more interesting than the finished result. I hope you find it useful having a look at the image develop. Procreate is very useful for capturing this kind of thing.

“I like what I am seeing - could it be useful for my organisation?”

Consider some of the following possibilities as ways that scribing might benefit you:

  • repurposing existing content for greater usefulness

  • summarising key ideas in distinctive ways

  • grasping and making underlying connections explicit

  • aiding the retention of key messages when it most counts

For more information have a look at my dedicated scribing page.
