The Making of "Build A Tower"

The other day we were enjoying some time at Bounce-n-Play. While I was stacking blocks with my son I thought "building a tower" would make for a great sketch. However, when I sat down to draw it out I realized the idea of stacking blocks correlated quite well with stacking sticky notes. So I did a few sketches to try and figure out how to go about creating something.

I still wanted to create a single note that could be shown off on social media like I always do, but I took it further by adding on to the tower. Eleven sticky notes later I had a sizable structure. The following images showcase the process from start to finish.

Idea Generation

This tower we built really got me thinking of a new sketch.

Preliminary Sketch

I wanted to jot down how I thought the multi-note sketch would work.

Here is the one note that is used on social media.

This image is 11 sticky notes stitched together. I was really happy with how it turned out. :-)
