# Drawing [[Art]] [[Illustration]] ## Drawing as Thinking The article by Holly Cummins down below brings up the [Picture Superiority Effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_superiority_effect), which says that images are more likely to be remembered than words (this mirrors [[ARTICLE - How to write good prompts - Andy Matuschak]]). This puts an interesting spin on [[Sketchnoting]]. Using images for thinking is more important for the recipient than the person [[🧠 Notetaking|taking the note]], which is different than the way I thought about it. While [[Drawing]] slows me down, I didn't find drawing for [[🧠 Notetaking]] to be that useful for recall or comprehension. ## Learning to draw A nice article by Holly Cummins on learning to draw as a developer, and how to use the skills for communicating ideas. - [How to draw when you can’t draw, part i: a growth mindset story - Holly Cummins](https://hollycummins.com/how-to-draw-part-i/) ## Links An app to reference the planes of the head: - [Head Model Studio on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/head-model-studio/id1527028690)
