Today's #sketch: Recreating a classic #illustration of Jules Verne 20000 leagues under the sea. Used fineliner and tombow markers.
Another #watercolor #sketch . I keep returning to paper.
"Royale with cheese" #sketch.
#sketch somewhere, going nowhere
Written #communication is much of what we do. We answer email. Publish posts and comments. Chat. Create user stories. Prompt AIs. By improving our writing skills, we get superior communication for free.
If you were to read one book, then it must be "On Writing Well".
It covers much of what it takes to write great nonfiction.
All with clear, actionable advice: Approach writing as craft. Pause to review and reflect. Rewrite. Simplify. Remove clutter.
Consider this: By stripping sentences to their cleanest components, you could halve a post’s word count. It'd be a quicker, equally informative read. Multiply by the amount of daily posts. What a positive impact that would have on your daily communication!
Read it. Write well.
Like the previous #sketch, just #ink and #watercolor, no pencil; aiming to be as quick as possible.
#sketch an adventurer, some days!
I just reordered some #cortomaltese collections, so this seemed appropriate. There is just something about watercolor and ink that feels so right to me...
