Happy Friday! This morning I flipped-around my routine, starting with the What’s Up Dave video instead of writing this blog post first. This way, I can link to the video in the blog post! I’ve decided to just use the morning video to get my head together and do a little light planning. I didn’t have much on my slate, other than spend a few minutes getting my cold-addled head around some explorative development work.

Susan in the chat room was looking for resources on drawing symbols for Sketchnotes, and this was an opportunity to try out my new pen to show some common tricks I do when I’m making block diagrams. I’m not much of an illustrator, but I find making decorative boxes serves most of my needs.

In the video I show some “fresh ramen” that I tried out, the new nail color + Lamy Al Star pen with the vibrant pink ink. I may have gone a little overboard on the color experimentation :-)

That’s it for today’s update. I’m still figuring out what daily blogging will mean again. Back on Monday.
