#Drawing thumbs up how to#

You will be blown away with uncontrolled enthusiasm once you figure out how simple and straightforward this process is. 🙂 Yes, I know it might be hard to believe that it only takes 12 shapes. In fact, after working with these 12 fundamental shapes for several years, I am convinced that I can doodle absolutely anything using only these shapes. But instead of forming words, I rather use them to form pictures and tell stories through my visuals. These 12 shapes are used in a very similar way. Just like we use the letters of the alphabet to create words, and then use those words to form sentences, paragraphs and entire manuscripts. I wasn’t sure, but I definitely wanted to find out. Could developing my drawing skills help advance my career/business?

I imagined at the time what opportunities I was potentially missing out on because I didn’t know how to express myself visually on paper. I had an inability to get my thoughts down on paper in a visual way, which left me feeling awkward and miserable and left my colleagues feeling perplexed and confused. The worst part of all was that it was an absolute mess and nobody fully understood what I was thinking. And so I pivoted and started using circles, squares, blobs and words to represent what I was thinking. I really didn’t like where this was going. But soon enough my rudimentary doodles turned to silly awkward and disjointed shapes. In fact, sadly, I didn’t feel as though I had a single creative bone in my body, let alone my fingers. I do, however, pre-warn my colleagues that I’m no artist. 🙁īut I’m, of course, a risk-taker, and so I dive head first into my drawing. In fact, I think that sadly they might’ve even regressed. It seemed as though my drawing skills had not really progressed very far since kindergarten. But all I had in my arsenal of drawing skills were some not so fancy stick figures with absolutely no personality. One day in a business meeting someone asked me to draw an example of the idea I had in mind.
