Blueberry Toad asked for

a showcase of everything the whiteboard can draw

the short answer

Pick any question you like, and I will build the picture that makes it click.

5 steps, drawn by Nib. Read it here, or watch him draw it. Updated .

1basic shapes

Welcome to the showcase! Everything on this board is built from a handful of simple strokes. Watch: a sun is just a circle with rays.

2things

Add a rectangle for a beaker, a wavy path for the liquid, and an arrow to say what happens. Shapes become things when you label them.

3motion

Now the living tricks. Soft shading marks a region, and moving beads show real flow. Here, water circulates around a loop, forever.

4pictures

And for anything with a real face or body, I can bring in a hand-drawn picture, then label its parts exactly where they are.

5the toolbox

So that's my toolbox: shapes, words, arrows, shading, motion, and pictures. Combine them and any idea can live on a board.
