My Sketchnoting Tools

Sketchnoting is the practice of taking notes using imagery along with handwritten text. I've been doing Sketchnoting for many years, and have developed a preferred toolset. Here are the analog and digital tools I use for Sketchnoting:

Analog

I don't often do analog Sketchnotes these days, but if I do, I do them in my Bullet Journal. Here's the pen and notebook I prefer for my Bullet Journal:

• Pilot Acroball Pen (black ink)
• Archer & Olive B5 Notebook

Digital

Most of my Sketchnoting takes place on my iPad using my Apple Pencil. I have a couple apps I use for different types of Sketchnoting:

• Hardware
  • 10.9" M1 iPad Air with Apple Pencil 2
• Apps
  • Goodnotes
    • Live Sketchnoting
      • The limited toolset makes it easier for me to focus on drawing rather than messing with tools and settings
  • Procreate
    • Polished Sketchnotes
      • Sketchnotes that are suitable for sharing and teaching
