The technique is live markup: a hand-drawn circle or arrow points at the exact thing being talked about. How it works: a red hand-drawn circle is drawn around the button as she names it, stroke by stroke. It is right for: screenshots, buttons, a detail in the frame. In the measured board tutorial a hand-drawn circle goes around any button or field the speaker describes. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing."
