Day 19 of 100 Days Envizualized.
This is a set of instructions for drawing a cartoon character.
Any ideas what to name her?
This how-to was inspired by Ed Emberley who has created wonderful step-by-step drawing guides.
My hope is that people will learn to kick ass using visual thinking by following the course of someone who uses visual thinking over a sustained period.
If these notes help you progress on your ass-kicking journey, please let me know!
This image is part of 100 Days Envizualized, a project where I upload visual notes that I create on 100 consecutive days. To check out the other notes, go here
An eBook will be available of all 100 days worth of notes, with annotation, once the 100 days are over.

Visual Storytelling - Inspiring a New Visual Language
Visual storytelling uses graphic design, info graphics, illustration, and photography to convey information in the most elegant, entertaining, and informative way. Today, a new generation of designers, illustrators, data journalists, and graphic editors is spending the creative scope of existing visual storytelling techniques -- meeting the formidable challenge of extracting valuable new, surprising findings, and relevant stories from a daily flood of data head on.
Visual Storytelling is the first book to focus solely on contemporary and experimental manifestations of visual forms that can be classified as such. The rich selection of cutting-edge examples featured here if put into context with an introduction and text features by magazine expert Andrew Losowsky as well as interviews with the New York Times, Francesco Franchi, DensityDesign, Carl Kleiner, Antoine Corbineau, Golden Section Graphics, Les Graphiquants, and Peter Grundy.
A friend of mine asketc this question during a workshop. A it made me thinking. Here is my "thinking out loud" sketchnote.
Visual thinking can be used to clarify or to confuse. The House Republicans created a visual representation of the House Democrats health plan. The graphic is a crazy jumble of boxes, arrows, and lines.
I don't know if the proposed plan is too complicated or not, but I do know that it's easy to make even something simple seem insanely complicated. To illustrate that, I made this graphic above, which diagrams the org chart of my family's food buying plan. My family consists of my wife and I, so it's about as simple as it gets.
So, how do you make something simple seem complicated using visual thinking?
1. As Leonardo Da Vinci Said "Everything connects to everything else." So connect as many things as possible whether they are important or not! That's what I tried to do in the chart above, and it's obviously what the House Republicans did.
2. Separate related items spatially as much as possible so that the lines connecting
closely related things are long, convoluted, and need to cross lots of other lines.
3. Use lots of ugly, clashing colors. OK, I did not have time to do this one, but the House Republicans sure did.
Thanks to Parkview for sending me the link to the House Republican graphic.
And here is yet another graphic inspired by the House Republicans.
