How I Make Those Sexy Hand Drawings

FAQs

Much to my surprise, I’ve been asked by dozens of people how I do it. The truth is it’s pretty simple. Before I go into that, answers to a few FAQs:

• Yes, it’s my handwriting in the drawings
• No, I’ve never hired anyone to help execute the drawings
• You do need to spend a few hundred dollars to duplicate the exact process I use
• No, I don’t know how to draw; a talented 5-year-old is far better than me
• I spend only 10 minutes on a drawing, on average

Tools You’ll Need

You don’t need much to do this, but it will cost money. Here’s what I use:

• Basic iPad – $329
