How atomic visuals work

Atomic visuals tell the story of an idea in less than a second, created in under five minutes, & boost engagement by 400%.

​

Here's why

Untitled_Artwork 57.png

The mindset shifts you need to become a prolific atomic visualiser

​

All beginner visualisers face the same 3 mental blocks

  • I can’t draw

  • Drawing makes me less credible

  • Written words only form of knowledge creation

 

You’ll reframe your mindset and free your creativity to think clearly, draw in public & share your ideas visually at lightning speed.

​

​

The frameworks you’ve been missing to visualise ANY IDEA

​

Drawing ideas isn’t hard…once you know how.

​

You’ll learn:

  • How to find the ‘golden nugget’ ideas that are worth turning into visual leverage

  • The 3 step process to visualise anything that Pirate Queen Laura used to create a 6 figure visual storytelling business

  • The fundamentals of visual language to draw absolutely anything

  • Over 30 different visual frameworks to create atomic visual stories immediately.

Through Pencil Pirates, you'll learn:

The tools you need to create compelling visual stories

​

‘I don’t have the tools’ is a lie that you might be telling yourself to stop you getting started.

​

Whether you have just a pen, paper & smartphone; or a tricked out iPad with Apple Pencil & procreate, you’ll learn the design theory, timelapse animation techniques and social media posting tips to create visuals that resonate every time.

 

No matter what tools you are using.

Want a flavour of what to expect?

  • How much does this cost?
    Other drawing & visual thinking courses cost $600 and upwards. The goal at Pencil Pirates is to get your life changing ideas out there fast and make knowledge accessible for all. That’s why we’re offering it for £247 / $299. We are pirates after all .
  • What's the schedule of when things will be released?
    The Onboarding Module will be released on August 13th, with the course starting in full on August 20th. You'll have access to the Template Treasure Chest immediately if you purchase at checkout, and the ebook will be mailed to you at launch at end of May/June.
  • What's the time commitment?
    The E-course is self paced, with modules released to you on a weekly schedule. Each week, it will take you around an hour to review the e-course content, and an hour for the weekly Scrawl Brawls (usually on a Friday or Saturday) to embed your learning. You can also attend our optional mid week Visual Critique sessions to level up your visualisation skills. Everything is recorded though if you can't make it! So a minimum of 2 hours a week for 5 weeks = 10 hours in total. You can revisit and review course content at anytime and view it as much as you like!
  • Do I have to be able to draw to do this?
    Nope! You can’t draw YET, you’ll learn how. BUT all the frameworks can be applied to other visualisation tools like Canva, and Adobe illustrator too. You’ll also get access to FREE icons, illustrations & templates to help you too.
  • I'm doing Ship 30 for 30 - can I do this too?
    Pencil Pirates is the perfect companion to Ship 30 - it will help you write faster, ship quicker and build your audience engagement when visuals are combined with your essays.
  • Can visuals really help me build my leverage and career online?
    100%. It’s working for 150 Pencil Pirates & worked for Laura, who worked in academia (the Realm of Words!) before becoming a Pirate Queen. Atomic visuals have helped Laura: 📈Build a six figure business in 18 months 💰Sell out an e-course in a week 🐥Build a Twitter audience by 451% in 21 days, which gave birth to Pencil Pirates She's not special - you can achieve this too!
  • Can't I just find this info on the internet for free?
    If you have a solid 24 hours to scour the Twitter high seas, then yeah, maybe. Go for it if you have the time & white knuckle commitment! We salute you! But why do that when Pencil Pirate packages it up in 4 hours worth of content, with free templates, frameworks and training to help you?
  • I was part of the Pencil Pirate Beta Zoom Call. How will this be different?
    Firstly, thanks me’hearty! You got this E-course off the ground. Secondly, we only had an hour in that call, and PP was still a baby. In this E-course you’ll build on that learning with 3 hours worth of extra content, downloadable templates, extra tools, join a community, AND get access to the Scrawl Brawl. Stay aboard!
  • I'm good at drawing already. Is this still for me?
    Absolutely. You’ll learn the frameworks, storytelling structures and techniques to apply your skill to share ideas lightning fast & with impact, so your drawing abilities are no longer hidden away in games of Pictionary.
  • Nice course, but I can't afford it. Help!?"
    We get it. We offer a limited number of stowaway scholarships to join the crew for a reduced price. Fill in our application form here.

Still got questions?

Stop just writing in public.
Start drawing in public too.
