I’ll be thinking with pictures at Drawcamp!

A full day of sketching, drawing, and thinking visually…what could be better?

I was thrilled to find out about Drawcamp, a drawing unconference that will be held in Milwaukee on Saturday, June 12. I registered immediately, and ordered a new Moleskin just for the occasion!

Drawcamp, a drawing unconference, will be held in Milwaukee Saturday June 12

I have always been artistic, but somewhere along the way, I have become overly reliant on illustration software and my Wacom tablet. Sketching wireframes on pen and paper seems to be the only type of sketching that comes comes easily; and when I am at the whiteboard, I find that I am making text-based lists more and more, and thinking with pictures less and less. And there is nothing that makes me more nervous than losing a skill that I once used fluently.

So off to Drawcamp I go. Let the mark-making begin! I should mention that Milwaukee is also hosting Writecamp, another unconference, on Saturday June 5. Alas, I will not be able to attend it due to conflicts in my travel schedule, but I wanted to pass on the information in case any of my writer friends are interested. There are some really great sessions scheduled!
