Imagine you’re sitting in a workshop. The topic remains vague, the flipcharts are full of text—no one is paying attention. Then the trainer picks up a marker and, with just a few strokes, draws a small figure smiling and raising a hand. Instantly, all eyes turn to the front.
Add a well-chosen title next to the drawing, and suddenly—simultaneously with the spoken word—meaning emerges on a visual level. Hand-drawn figures are wonderful at conveying this meaning, and the atmosphere shifts from bored to engaged.
Our brain responds immediately when we recognize other people.
Studies show that mirror neurons are activated in these moments, allowing us to intuitively empathize with actions and emotions. That’s exactly what happens when hand-drawn emotion figures are used—they create a sense of closeness, increase attention, and make content tangible. They give your visualizations an engaging, human touch.
In our trainings, you’ll learn step by step how to draw figures and make emotions visible—no artistic talent required.
If you want to take your visualizations to the next level, here you’ll find inspiring ways to dive deeper into visual storytelling.
