I love this concept! But I can definitely say my drawings wouldn’t turn out quite as amazing as those! πŸ˜‚

Thanks for sharing your creativity with the world Urmila. I particularly love the notion (and importance) of doing something by hand, a tactile and hand-crafted experience, as a direct counter to say journaling via an app. Love it!

Thanks a lot @Scott Ko ! I was a digital sketcher for years but now we have so much on our phones that I didn’t want anything digital for this. Plus this tiny sketchbook will survive the ups n downs of travel and I don’t have to be precious about it. But it’s also making me make decisions quickly and exercise my creativity to the fullest as there is not undo button and I don’t pencil sketch anything . Like life all in or outπŸ˜πŸ˜‚

Nicely done, Urmila. You've woven together all the strands of your passions beautifully and creatively. And I feel like we've just sat down for a chat over a nice cup of tea - and a sketch book. It will be fun to see where your pencil goes next! ✏️ Thanks for the mention, too.

First of all, thank you for including me here, Urmila.

I think the best thing I’ve learned from reading this is the power of creative play.

Sketchnoting as a way to slow down and absorb your surroundings is a beautiful, simple tool.

I hope you had a good weekend.

Happy New Week :)

Love this, Urmila! I need to be a bit more disciplined, control the spinning plates and buy a new notebook!
