Instructional Designers and eLearning developers play an important role in DEI programs.  When stock characters are required it's often difficult to find the right image that reflects your requirements.  And when you do find something that works it's often quite boring and unfitting of the style you had designed. So, we're often left wondering, "I wish I could make my own diverse set of characters for my eLearning content".

Kevin Thorn, joins us to do just that. Kevin is the Chief NuggetHead of NuggetHead Studioz and our guest for the ongoing favorite Drink'n'Draw series.  In this episode Kevin will walk us through the process of designing and sketchnoting our own diverse characters for eLearning.

If you're new to Sketchnoting, then I would encourage you to go through Kevin's "Sketchnote School".

He wrote the series of 6 Blog Posts teaching conference attendees how to sketchnote during DevLearn. But, of course, all of the elements apply to drawing diverse characters as well.

Bring your pen and paper for another entertaining and skill-building episode of Drink'n'Draw.
