Sketchnote Starter Course

Begin creating sketchnotes this week!

Overview

If you've ever looked at sketchnotes and wanted to use them to capture ideas better, this is the place to start. At the end of the lessons you'll be ready to put pen to paper and begin creating.

18 total lessons


I take the essential lessons of creating sketchnotes and have built them out even more in this course. We go through the basics, next-level training, and taking the leap in digital sketchnote creation and editing.

5 practice exercises


One of the best things you can do to improve with sketchnotes (or anything) is practice. This rebuilt course includes new practice prompts that will help you grow and be more confident in your work.

Live video demonstrations


One of the best ways to learn is by seeing, and nothing does that better than video. As the course builds out I'll be adding new videos each month, and increasing the price with each update.
