Welcome to our sketchnote workshop today.

The language will be English because we have to consider everybody, so I will talk English.

I hope it's not a problem for any one of you, but most of the time we will be drawing and

experimenting anyway, so words aren't that important.

This workshop has been held a couple of times.

The first time I did it I had a whole day with a colleague together and we did it at

another conference and the other times I had a reduction of this workshop within a single

hour.

And this is my first time, I do it in four hours, so every day is a first timer, so to

say.

Let's try what we can do.

The schedule does not have a time slot for a lunch break.

Theoretically we start at 10.50 and theoretically we stop at 2.50 pm and the next session in

this room is at 4.10 pm, so we could expand our time about an hour depending on which

talks you intend to listen maybe after 2 pm and we could make a break anytime.

And if we do a break and stop at 2.50 we still have enough time to draw, so time isn't a

problem.

What are your considerations for breaks?

Does anybody like to go to lunch?

Okay, good, so we definitely should make a break.

Should we make the break at this time where the others do it?

Okay, so we will consider making a break at 12.30 and meet again at 1.30 and depending

on how patient you are drawing we will expand the time to whatever.

Okay, as my regular language is not English you will probably hear me sometimes fighting

for the right words.

I hope it's not a problem if I say something bad, Germans are sometimes ugly, consider

a big person versus a huge person.

This makes a big difference for a native speaker but for a German translation the word is the

same.

So there might be puns in my language, please correct me if I do something like that.

We have handed out blocks to you.

The blocks have a paper of 120 grams per square meter which is a bit stronger paper than usual.

The strength of the paper depends on the pens you are using.

The pens we have handed out to you are using an ink and the ink is very sucking through

the paper.

So if you are taking ordinary notebooks like you have you would probably figure out that

you can read the same you have written on the back side because the pen is very sucking

through.

If you consider buying Japanese pens which use alcohol as a medium for the color you

will even need a stronger paper than this because the Japanese pens would even suck

through this kind of paper but the pens you have will be enough.

The paper I have here is 160 grams so it's even a bit stronger than this block you have

in front of you.

Whenever you try you can consider drawing it into your book to have a remembering on

what we have drawn today.

If you just want to try the lines it might be a good idea just to try it on a sheet of

paper and if you are safe drawing this kind of lines then draw it into your book if you

like.

Most of the time I will try to draw whatever you do which is a bit different for me because

I have to draw very large shapes which is unusual in comparison to drawing on a paper
