Over the course of this month, not only did I get an opportunity to meet with kind folks who are equally interested in a book as I am, but we also learned a really practical skill. Doug has a natural talent for visualizing very abstract concepts in a very accessible manner and he does a really good job of teaching us how to apply it. We learned by practicing sketching basic components like icons and people and then by combining them together to form diagrams and scenes that depict rather complex ideas in an “easy to digest” fashion.
