Sketch Group

Sketch Group We use sketching to tell stories, solve problems, explain ideas, and capture conversations. We sketch stuff. We're pretty good at it!

For example:
* we create hand-drawn videos that make dry or complex information fun or easy to understand
* we live sketch your conference or event
* we capture your ideas and turn them into a powerful one-page sketch
* we run training sessions to teach you how to sketch like a pro

You ran the consultation. Set up the portal. Sent the emails.

Three weeks later — the response was underwhelming. Mostly from the same people who always respond.

Local government communicators are dealing with declining community trust, hard-to-reach audiences, and shrinking budgets — all at once. The pressure to reach more residents and demonstrate results has never been greater.

There's a better way to reach your community. Here's what councils across Australia are doing differently.

If you're organising an event that includes a graphic recorder, this one's for you.

Not for the CEO on stage. Not for the facilitator running the room. For the person making it all happen behind the scenes — the one with the checklist.

Graphic recording can be one of the most impressive elements of a live event. But getting a great result isn't just about booking the right artist. There's a short list of things you can do before the day that make all the difference.

We've put together a quick guide — consider it your pre-event checklist.

There's something special about watching ideas come to life in real time and seeing a full day of conversation, strategy, and insight turn into captivating visuals.

LiveSketch™ (aka graphic recording) is more than just live illustration. It's a tool that:
✔ Keeps audiences engaged — there's something magnetic about watching your words become visuals in real time.
✔ Captures what matters — key themes, decisions, and ideas are synthesised visually so nothing gets lost.
✔ Creates a lasting artefact — long after the event ends, the illustration lives on as a reference, a conversation starter, and a shareable asset.
✔ Energises the room — it signals that the ideas being shared are worth capturing.

Whether you're planning a conference, a strategy day, an AGM, or a leadership workshop — a graphic recorder brings a dimension that a slide deck simply can't.

If you’re planning an event and want to explore what LiveSketch™ could bring to the room, we’d love to have a chat.

We throw around the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" — but when it comes to education, it might actually be an understatement.

Visual metaphors are one of the most powerful tools for making complex ideas click. When you pair the right image with the right concept, something shifts — abstract becomes tangible, confusion becomes clarity, and information becomes something people actually remember.

And the best part? This doesn't just apply to the classroom. Whether you're training a team, pitching an idea, or explaining a process to stakeholders — the principle is the same. If your audience can see it, they can understand it. If they can understand it, they'll act on it.

We've pulled together some of our favourite examples of visual metaphors in action. Swipe through and see for yourself how much a single image can carry.

💡 What's the most memorable visual explanation you've ever come across? Drop it in the comments — we'd love to know.

Every artist has an origin story — and Eddie Chau's is a good one. We're thrilled to introduce him in our latest "Meet the Artist" instalment, where he takes us through how his love of drawing shaped the creative career he has today. Read on as he shares his journey in his own words.

“As a child, the lounge room floor and dining table were my favourite spots at home, and Derwent pencils were my friends. I had my super hero comics and model spaceships next to me and I would draw my beloved characters until it was time for lunch or dinner.

This fueled me into becoming an artist for a living. I spent most of my professional career working for advertising agencies, marketing companies and a few design studios. Centering on producing storyboards and conceptual art and art for print

I also had a hobby job as a Zumba instructor teaching dance fitness in a few gyms and in private classes.
So currently my interests are in 'explain it illustrations' where I love visually representing a client's thought processes, and drawing cars of all types, the shinier the better!”
