My name is Doug Neill and I'm passionate about helping others reach their full creative potential. I teach a skill called sketchnoting (also known as visual note-taking and graphic recording), which for me is a gateway to doing better work. Check out the resources below for more info.

so glad I found this. thanks for your talents and sharing.

[@kynambo4805]

Thank you so much for sharing, I found this very useful and encouraging!

[@usmannaeem]

I am so glad I am not weird. I didn't know what it was called but I have been doing it for the last 8 years but I am so glad this thing and your channel is there and it's awesome.

[@GeoGrrl830]

I have been trying to teach my students how to add features to their Cornell notes in Social Studies for years now and this video perfectly organizes and sums up the basic visual distinctions I have been trying to verbalize to my students so unsuccessfully. : ) mil gracias

[@verbaltovisual]

Jennifer Padberg So glad to hear it!

Hi Doug. I stumbled upon your channel while searching the Internet for information on mental verbalization. That probably doesn't seem relevant to you here but the point is, I've subscribed to your channel and will be watching as your presentations grow in context. The reason I'm so intrigued is your obvious "organization skills". I'm a writer, musician, poet etc and have tons of ideas floating around in my head all the time but.... I'm extremely unorganized. I'm hoping to subscribe to many of your processes to get myself on track and develop organization skills in order to move forward with my creativity. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing more.

Hi Paul, thanks for the comment. Getting ideas out of your head and onto the page is exactly what this video series is about, so I hope you find future videos useful as well! Thanks and good luck.

[@martinzupko9002]

im 2222th subscriber yeey, congratz man! nice work you are doing. Im glad that i found your chanel. Keep going

[@aayushmanawasthi9195]

Sir where is the part 2 of your video BTW this 1 was wonderfully awesome sir

[@clipstv7965]

thank you for the tip

[@melissasalasblair5273]

I'm currently fusing approaches so this is great, thanks!!

[@shubhamjauhari1968]

it's been a great honour watching your videos as i used to prefer such method for studying but didn't knew that this method do exist.... but thanks for promoting such methods as it has build my boosted my morale...love u bro..and hope you keep on promoting such method through such videos...

[@daryayukimenka2361]

Love that Video! Great useful content!

[@verbaltovisual]

+Darya yu Thanks!

[@brigittedennett2112]

I came across your channel while watching Kate Hayward. Thank you for your suggestions. As a teacher (1st grade) who is now looking for ways to do online teaching and instruction I was hoping you could offer some practical tips on how you organize your videos? How you film, edit and do voice overs. I am trying to make this as easy as possible for my fellow teachers. Any suggestions would be great.

[@angeliquejohnson9498]

This is helping me sooooo much.

[@kamanuvidiluis3952]

(That's what she said) Yeah... Me too!

[@TearsAnonymous]

I have a questron. How do you know the exact spatial size needed to sketch the Fizzle show? I see you put everything on a single piece of paper, which is incredible. How did you do that? :-)

[@verbaltovisual]

Great question. Mostly I just kept getting key ideas down until the page was full. I'm sure I missed some ideas in the later part of the show, but I think I was still able to get the most important ones down.

[@malikrivers4884]

Hey I love the video. Can you give any sketchnote tips for people who have to take notes in more scientific or math based classes? Is there a certain sketchnote process for a field with very complex equations and theories?

[@na-ve9cp]

i usually find it hard to draw things when im taking notes for math class, unless it's a drawing of a graph or a diagram or something. for a theorem-proof kind of math class, i usually set the theorems, lemmas, and definitions flush left and indent whenever i need to add an accompanying proof or otherwise any commentary about what i just wrote. i find a more linear style helpful, as math flows more linearly. for a complex equation or logical expression, i like to leave some space and have it float LaTeX-style, centered in the page. since it's generally harder to parse symbols than language, it's nice to have equations offset for more intense studying. another thing that i like to do is differentiate between different kinds of arrows: i reserve the double-shafted arrow solely for logical implication, but i use the single-shafted arrow more generally, say to connect ideas (unless i am required to use the single-shafted arrow to denote a morphism, function, etc.!).

[@liatkan]

could you use it for school or university studies? will i "loos" information or can i really sum every detail??

[@arvindporwal1225]

hey Doug ! i have this problem of... unable to stick on to the preplanned layout.. and land up .. most of the time doing a different one... which is almost everytime same.... how fo i proceed..? thanks for your videos

[@Rajai-alhariri]

Use Ipad Pro with Pencil?

[@ravikhedkar1]

Nice

[@susanrice5639]

I want to know how I can connect chapters to a chapter 1 to chapter 2 of a book that I'm reading on visual notes

[@rafael_tg]

do you recommend the book "the back of the napkin"?

[@verbaltovisual]

Yes! It's great.

[@amytitler1893]

as a future Science/Social Studies teacher I am going to use this tool for my students" successful note taking

[@verbaltovisual]

+Amy Titler Woohoo! Glad to hear it :)

[@steveisaak4320]

How would you suggest I try to bring this into my math classes?

[@kamanuvidiluis3952]

Interesting

[@ravikhedkar1]

I am STUDENT OF CIVIL SERVICE EXAM I NEED THERE TO WRITE ANS QUICKLY OF GIVEN QUESTION AS PROBLEM SOLVING APPROACH I WANT U TO PLZ MAKE VIDEO ON HOW TO EASILY FASY SKETCH OR FLOWCHART OR DIAGRAM CAN BE PUT IN EXAM

[@michagradon3934]

Great clip! Especially for people who can't draw. (Like me)

[@kamanuvidiluis3952]

Like me

[@thesmiler119]

🧡

[@justrelax129]

Great video you sound like Collin Robinson

[@dermedienstudent]

Really great Class - sometimes you talk a little to much - but hey, great start. For your "logo/url" a "visual" tipp: try to write verbalTOvisual.com - the TO in bold letters. Would look more unique and memorable. Cheers.

[@stephanbranczyk8306]

I know this is an old video, but was the sketch of the podcast your first draft? Or do you use intermediate steps/drafts? Do you use ABC lists? See kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3O7iqxphK2Cr5o Also, for your online courses, are they synchronous or asynchronous? If a few of your classes happen synchronously, I recommend you try out gather.town/ PS: I am not affiliated with either of those parties. I just like both of those tools.
