Ever wondered how I make the egghead course illustrations?⁠ I've started writing a lengthy series of posts where I show exactly how they come together. Start to finish.⁠ Part 1 is out now - illustrated.dev/drawinginvisibles1⁠ This one is all about how to think in visual metaphors. And it even comes with cake 🍰⁠ #egghead #visualmetaphors #cake
