Recently, I attended a free workshop Visual Drawing. Well, it says that Visual Drawing facilitates Visual Thinking, and it is a useful tool in problem solving and story telling. It says that these days, Visual Thinking has taken over boring Power Point Slides in the Corporate World. Visual Drawing can make story telling easy, interesting and effective.
Advantages of Visual Drawing-
1. Communicate with sketch notes
2.Use of Flipcharts and White Boards
3. Communicates Story Telling
4. Training models into Game plays
5. Training becomes easier for soft skills
6.Content Delivery is easily understood
7. Collaborative Engagement is possible
8.Business Sketch Notes are easily understood
Use of Geometry for Business Sketch Notes
Well , we were made to draw all geometry figures in a Drawing Book. Square, Circle, Triangle, Rectangle, Parallelogram, Oval were drawn by everyone.
Visualize in Geometry
We were made to draw an alarm clock, a phone, a laptop, a balloon, a money bag, a pencil, a human figure, a human figure running, a creative person.
To draw a bulb, We drew to use UZMO letters to draw.
We drew a team by 3 human figures and half circle surrounding it.
For Product Launch, a fish was drawn with a gift attached to it’s tail.
For Visual Facilitation, we drew a banner and a T.V underneath it as a big sheet, with Topic written inside it.
To avoid confusion, we drew a spiral and a rectangular cake at the side of it
For being Approachable, we drew a Pencil, inside it a human figure looking out of the window.
For Collaborative work , We drew 2 human figures with hands and 2 jigsaw puzzles.
For Hidden Links, we just drew a human eye
For Idea generation, we drew 2 human figures with hands holding bulbs.
For Problem solving, we drew 2 trees far apart. One tree was for “now” situation with x’s at the bottom and the other tree was for “then” situation with all “ticks “at the bottom. In the middle, we drew a big “U” to identify all the pitfalls and 2 boats sailing.To bridge the gap between the 2 trees, we drew a human figure walking with a business bag. Underneath the Pitfalls, we drew some water and a crocodile to identify the pitfalls in the business.This was the diagram for problem to solution.
Visual Thinking has taken over the market to give “out of the box “solutions by means of a Pestel Analysis.
1.Political Situation
2.Economic Situation
3.Socio- Cultural situation
4. Technology situation
5. Environmental Situation
6. Legal Situation
The above is the Pestel Analysis. It uses drawing sketch notes for analysis of various situations and scenario’s .
Visual Thinking is used in simplifying things & easy to draw, sketch and better understanding the situation. It helps the children in speaking their mind out by means of drawing sketches . Children and adults can enhance their speaking, writing and drawing skills through Visual Thinking.
Visual Thinking helps in:
1. Problem Solving Meeting: This has 3 elements to it – Business Play Board, Play Elements and Rules Of the game.
2. Customer Journey Mapping : This can be used in agile ceremonies, Trust Building, Leadership Change, and Difficult Situations.
3. Business Sketches: All the above examples of drawing help to draw Business Sketches .
4. Visual Story Telling: Children and adults can do visual storytelling by means of drawing sketches.

I really found it drawing interesting. Hope this blog will enhance your drawing skills in reading and writing. Happy Sketching!
