I used to draw in my notes while studying (along with rhymes, songs, acronyms, colors). It helped me retain big chunks of information. I would draw an my scrappaper during an exam at university and write down the answer so easily. Some people that saw it thought it was weird. But it worked for me. I saw this video yesterday and I never realised this was a thing, or a job even. So I did one yesterday evening and it felt like a revelation! My memorie isn’t good and I have a problem remembering positive stuff. So I would love to make a diary of special days, but I don’t like writing. This is a great solution for me!! I feel like I can write a diary (and quickly read it) without that much writing and being able to express myself with drawing and colors and drawing letters. I only would like to add painting some day and knitting and crocheting and then all my creative outlets would be in there! 😄 I love it. Thank you both for opening my eyes! I really really would like to thank you!!!!!!!

My dad did this kind of thing all over the pages of his notebooks from his mechanic training classes when he was in the Army during WWII. I got to see them first when I was about 10 years old and I found I did the same thing in my notebooks when I went to trade school and workshops/ classes of the more technical nature throughout my life. I had no idea it had a name or I could be a job but I will say that at one point one of my instructors saw my notes and asked to look through my book. The result was he was so impressed with them that he got me a job with the school as a tutor! The dean said it showed that I understood the subject matter better than just written words. I always just saw it as an opportunity of be creative like my dad. He had gone to art school before and after the war and he was a real artist as was my sister. I just doodle. Anyway, this was very interesting and enlightening. Thanks for the lesson!

I've been in college, in technical training, and it various art classes, and I never heard the word "Sketchnoting", so I suspect it's a fairly new term. Cool story about your dad.

Excellent video! This was very simple and straightforward, making me feel fully competent to do this. Although I have always combined elements in my note taking, even in primary school, I have never felt very confident in adding illustrations. This makes it so simple.

I loved this so much, tried to sketch note notes from this class too 😁 there were lot of times when I wanted to document my travels and make my lecture notes more memorable, this class was perfect! Loved Emily’s clear articulation of the purpose, laying out her process so beginners can easily get started. Thank you so much Becca for all of these wonderful resources 😍 for someone who wants to try multiple things in arts and Crafts, your channel is perfect in exposing the multitude of options! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for creating this!!! I always want to draw...or just doodle in my journals, but I feel like I can't draw. My dad was a cartoonist and I always wished I had his talent. If there was a piece of paper lying around the house, my dad would leave a little doodle on it!! I have been looking for a creative outlet and this has encouraged me to practice. Just joined the course!!

It looks like a mind map. Weirdly as someone who considers myself an artist, I have never been able to do it. I thought it was maybe because I have aphantasia but mum (who is a professional artist and owns her own art gallery) said she's never been able to do it either :o I do take a lot of notes though. I scribble them all over my pages, and somehow my brain retains the info and remembers where they are :D This was an interesting video thanks! ^_^
