Visual style: sketch-notes

Warm hand-drawn sketchnote — soft paper field, black ink doodle line work, gentle pastel blocks. The most approachable style, friendly over precise. For education, training, onboarding, science communication, knowledge content.


1. Shape & decoration

  • Shape language: rounded shapes drawn with a slight wobble; pastel block fills that slightly overshoot their outlines (hand-painted feel); simple cartoon icons. Draw that wobble as a <path> with non-aligned points — a <rect rx> is not wobble.
  • Decoration: small doodles — stars, sparkles, dots, underlines — sprinkled sparingly for warmth; wavy hand-drawn arrows connecting ideas with short inline labels.
  • Whitespace: airy and well-organized; generous gaps between elements keep it friendly, never dense.

2. Typography character

  • Friendly hand-lettered titles; clear humanist body. Warmth and legibility over corporate severity.

Families are chosen at confirmation g; this style asks for a warm hand-lettered / humanist character.

3. Using the deck's colors

  • Warm, soft paper field; the deck's colors rendered as gentle pastel tints inside the blocks rather than full saturation; one accent reserved for a key arrow or emphasis.
  • Generous but gentle — soft tints, never high-chroma or rainbow.

HEX values come from confirmation e; this style only governs the soft-pastel, warm-field discipline — it names no colors.

4. Texture / elevation

  • Flat 2D — sketchnote is intentionally flat. Optional subtle paper grain for warmth; no drop shadows.

5. Paired image-rendering

sketch-notes — cream-paper hand-drawn imagery with soft pastel fills, sharing the friendly note aesthetic.
