I created another illustration. This time, it's the famous Vienn Diagram!

Created another illustration. Experimented with colours today.
Started with a rough idea. Then sketched out each element and put them all together.
Update (Jan 3): Ah, forgot about fog! Need to add it.

Another illustration in the bag.
Yep, I know it’s a bit messy and feels a little empty - but that’s totally fine. Right now, it’s all about getting into the rhythm of creating.
Quality isn’t the goal yet. It’ll come naturally as I keep practising.
Progress over perfection.

My first-ever illustration is ready! I really enjoyed the challenge of visualising a concept - it’s harder than it sounds. And I've asked ChatGPT for feedback.
Leadershipis standing alone long enough for others to see the path forward.
ChatGPT feedback
This is a great start, and your illustration does a nice job of conveying the concept visually. Here’s some feedback to make it even better:
Strengths- Progression of Time: The "Day 1," "Day 30," and "Day 100" structure clearly shows the journey and gradual alignment of others to the leader’s vision.
- Simplicity: The minimalistic stick figure style keeps the focus on the message without unnecessary distractions.
- Clarity of Message: The concept of persistence and leadership over time is easy to grasp.
Areas for Improvement- Perspective & Visual Flow: The pathway leading to the flag could be more pronounced or evolve slightly over time (e.g., get brighter, wider, or clearer) to reinforce the idea of progress.
- Body Language: The stick figure’s posture could subtly change to show confidence growing over time (e.g., arms outstretched or a firmer stance by Day 100).
- Background Variety: Consider adding a subtle background element (like hills or markers) to represent obstacles or progress.
- Engagement in Day 100: The figures saying "Oh, we see now!" are static; you could add small movements, like one of them starting to walk toward the flag, to enhance the sense of engagement.
Final Note
The message lands well, and the simplicity is refreshing. With just a few tweaks, this could be even more impactful! Keep up the great work! 😊 -

I've always enjoyed using whiteboards and diagrams to visualise work but I've never tried creating cartoons — a whole different way of communicating. I always thought I didn’t have it in me. The drawings would look terrible, and I’d just give up.
But I’m giving it another shot. Right now, it’s not about quality; it’s about quantity and improving, one step at a time.
