Can't Stop the Doodles

Can't Stop the Doodles

Ever since I discovered what an impact hand-drawn illustrations can have on an audience, I've been using them more and more in all of my presentations. It's become so much fun, I've been drawing more as a hobby, too.

Below is a collection of some of my recent favorites from my slides and Instagram.

    I was actually inspired by a previous post you did on this. I decided I wanted to try this myself. I recently did a session on a local meetup, with the entire presentation deck full of hand drawn illustrations. It worked like a charm. People actually responded really well to them!

    And I SUCK at drawing, but you don't have to be good at drawing to create doodles that illustrates points 100x better than any stock photo or whatever can do.

    Thanks for sharing David! :)

    YES! Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm glad to hear you tried it, and you were successful, regardless of being "good at drawing." I bet if you asked some of your audience, they would say your drawings were "good" or even better, because they are so personal and effective. Keep it up! And keep me updated on your progress! :)

    Spot on! I was on the receiving end of @gjermundbjaanes:disqus' doodled presentation. Keeping it personal and effective really sums it up well.

    Keep on doodling! :)
