Learn How to Use Concepts for Sketchnoting
Workshop with Mike Rohde
Thanks for joining our free workshop with Mike Rohde, creator of the Sketchnote Army and author of The Sketchnote Handbook. You’ll learn how Mike uses Concepts to create sketchnotes using an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. In preparation for this unique workshop, we wanted to help you get off to a great start by providing additional resources in advance.
If you’re new to Concepts, we strongly suggest you spend 10 minutes learning the basics with our latest Quick Start Video. Mike won’t cover these details in the session, so this will help build your Concepts knowledge before the session.
