Beyond icons: Why you should build a sketchbook habit - Adrien Liard

As visual thinkers, we all love icons and stick figures. Those simple drawings are so effective in quickly expressing and communicating ideas.

But what if you want to go beyond those to create more memorable visual metaphors, communicate complex ideas, and amaze your audience?

In this session, we will explore together how you can enrich your visual vocabulary and grow your drawing skills by building a sketchbook habit.
You will learn all about the benefits of keeping a sketchbook and drawing what you see. We will also dive into Adrien's sketchbooks and draw all together.

Everything to kickstart your journey and make you realize that 5 minutes a day is all it takes.

Adrien Liard is a product director, illustrator and graphic recorder based in Toulouse, France.

He has been using visual tools and drawing to manage, coach teams, and facilitate meetings for more than 10 years.
