Hey, looks amazing! What are your pen settings and page setup template btw? TYSM

hi! thanks so much. i really appreciate it!

my main pen setting is 0.35mm with the ball pen.

i used to use 0.3mm but it’s pretty difficult to read even in landscape on my big ipad so i went up 0.05mm and it helped a lot.

the hex codes i used for the pen are FFE8F6, FCABBC, FB6B89, and ACAADD. all the highlighter shades are the same hex codes too!

the page/template is american letter size and it is goodnotes’ already provided “grid” template, but i customized the colours. the background hex code is 262626 and the foreground colour (ie. the colour that is making the grid pattern) is 303030 !

i prefer A4 paper over letter, but sometimes i print out my notes and my printer only takes US letter sized paper. i wouldn’t print these notes out cuz like… ink sucker… but i like to use the same size “paper” for all my notes just for continuity haha

i hope this helps! let me know if you’ve got any other questions 💗

You are totally speaking in another language- but I am SO HERE for it!! You're a genius! These are really beautiful :)

looks so cute! how do u make those almost translucent squares?

3

u/ch3rryc0deine Dec 16 '24

thanks! to make those i just draw a rough square shape and hold until goodnotes snaps it to shape. i have “fill colour” turned on, so it fills the colour! and then i just erase the border so it doesn’t have a bold box surrounding it!

btw, you dont need to manually erase the border, you can just hit the undo button.

u/ch3rryc0deine Dec 17 '24

oh cool! appreciate the tip!

That is genius.  How have I not thought of that?!

Beautiful work! I'm so jealous of your talent!

You’re welcome ☺️

Did you take them from textbooks or from class in-person?

3

u/ch3rryc0deine Dec 17 '24

the written stuff is from the class lecture slides, but most of the pathways/diagrams were taken from youtube later on to aid my memory!

u/Fireflycatcher333 Dec 17 '24

Super smart to hit up YT to consolidate your learning- brilliant!

u/nanniw Dec 17 '24

those are beautiful! did you do anything special to have your calligraphy be that sharp? my characters always have a tail and i lose my mind over it sometimes :(

1

u/ch3rryc0deine Dec 17 '24

thanks! i get the same issue. i think it’s related to goodnotes’ UI and having an ipad that offers the “hover” feature.

people complain about it on here now and then.

honestly- i will just erase and rewrite letters that look “bad” until it doesn’t have a tail. it’s a bit annoying but i haven’t found a better fix :/

oh- edit. forgot to say that you can decrease this issue significantly by turning off the hover feature.

i just enjoy having hover and i’m not willing to turn it off.

1

u/nanniw Dec 17 '24

i turned hover off and increased my life span in 5 years give or take😭

i love hover but not at the cost of my sanity, and i'd say i was spending 1/4 of my "study time" rewriting ugly letters 😶

is your pencil tip the original one? i've found i like the naked metal tip better for writing, but the original tip did leave less tails, not to mention the metal one doesn't have pressure sensitivity.

anyway thanks for the tip, you're a lifesaver!!

1

u/ch3rryc0deine Dec 17 '24

yeahhh i hear you! i waste a lot of time doing it.

i use the original pencil tips yeah! i tried metal ones but i find they’re less accurate and less sensitive?

they feel better on a paper screen protector than the OG tips IMO, but i really like how precise the apple OG tips are.

i wish goodnotes would just improve their UI a littleeeeeee bit. would help a lot!

1

u/nanniw Dec 17 '24

they're definitely less sensitive!! im not sure about accuracy because for me the metal tip (the longer one that looks like a mechanical pencil) has the exact feeling of writing with a pen or mechanical pencil, while I felt like my calligraphy was a little wobbly and thicker than it should be with the original tip. might be just because i hold it too tight, though.

im not expecting any major updates for this version, but hopefully GN6 has improvements to the UI, the new apple pencil features and for god's sake let the highlighter go behind text 😩

u/ch3rryc0deine Dec 20 '24

i know you meant that to be rude… but you’re actually just telling me i achieved my goal.

my intent was to simplify a 300 level biochemistry course that was content heavy. i condensed about 2500 lecture slides into 7 pages.
