Having never done it before I decided to try sketchnoting one of my poems, I wasn’t sure how to go about it to start with so, I’ll be completely honest, I just sort of winged it. But I’m really enjoying the process and it’s an interesting way to see these two things coming together.

So I read the poem and jotted down, in pencil, the key words and phrases from the opening stanzas that stood out to me.

I then took a picture of the sketchnote and uploaded it to my iPad Pro, I use an app called Pro Create with my Apple pencil for my digital drawings and musings, so opened the image as a canvas and sort of went from there. Using my initial sketchnote as a guide I’ve brought it to life with some vibrant colours.

I hope you like it, I’m, enjoying working on this one, a great way of getting to grips with my new tech too 🙂
