Visual note-taking is extremely challenging to someone who does not usually combine their note-taking skills with their art normally. To create art that coincides with the information placed on the page and the details learned, you truly have to understand the content. It takes a great deal of letting go and just trusting your knowledge on the subject and how well you can emulate that visually for someone else to understand it as well, or even for you yourself to understand it after years from now.
