Had the best time at @swiftleeds.co.uk this week! I gave two #sketchnoting workshops and was blown away by participants’ enthusiasm. Seeing people try sketchnoting during talks made me so proud 🥹 Sharing sketchnotes of some talks in this thread 🧵

Really really enjoyed @felibe444.bsky.social’s sketchnoting session at @swiftleeds.co.uk today, what do you think of my attempts? 😄

A whiteboard filled with colourful sketches and doodles illustrating various visual communication techniques. It includes sections on visual alphabet, arrows, bullet points, containers, and text styles, along with playful elements like a penguin and a comic strip. The sketch is credited to @oliverbinns.co.uk and is associated with Swift Leeds 2025.

A whiteboard with handwritten tips titled "Feli's Top Tips," encouraging creativity and experimentation. Suggestions include using minimal colours, leaving space for ideas, and not aiming for perfection. Emphasizes ignoring rules and includes playful elements like emojis and a reminder to write text before banners.
