This entry is part 7 of 11 in the series Sketchnote Lessons

Here’s an assortment of speech bubbles and thought clouds. They’re great for indicating when someone has said something – and there’s always plenty of talking at presentations, panels, and events.

Click on the image for a larger version. Feel free to print this out (or draw on it on your tablet, if you have one)! =)

Have fun drawing! Check out my other sketchnote lessons, and e-mail or comment if you have any suggestions/requests!

Excellent Ideas. I start to give classes in electrical engineering, and I like to experiment around to emphasize things with drawings into the presentations with a graphic pad. Thanks for sharing this. I like the footprints ….
