Or let the director choose a style for your topic.
What it looks like, and when to use it.
Confident black marker drawn onto white as the narration unfolds, with one or two accent colours and lots of white space. Whiteboard doodle is the classic explainer look, and it is still one of the clearest: nothing on screen that is not part of the idea.

The art direction the director follows.
Every style is a full art direction, not a filter: its own palette, type, motion and music. This is the brief the director works from for Whiteboard doodle.
- Look
- Clean hand-drawn marker illustration on white: confident black marker linework, sparse flat spot colours (one or two accent colours), simple expressive figures and icons, generous white space.
- Motion
- Strokes draw on (SVG stroke-dashoffset or canvas path reveal), a hand/marker feel, quick pops for icons, camera pans across a large whiteboard canvas between ideas, arrows and underlines scribble in.
- Music
- Upbeat light indie: acoustic guitar, soft claps, marimba, bright and confident.
- Type
- Hand-lettered marker font feel; key words underlined or circled.
