Virgo | That's kind of an odd example of Penrose's drawings, because they seem to be slides for a talk and aren't the professional quality drawings found in his books. You can find some examples of the latter if you skip your way through this talk of his: youtube.com/watch?v=B1O4XPAU5m4 | |

I would never attempt this, I can't even figure out my own notes let alone inflict them on the public. | |

If that style is something you aspire to, it's probably worth looking at what works and what doesn't, starting with visual note taking for your own benefit, then using it in collaborative work and seeing how well it's received. Even if you don't get to the point of publishable illustrations (I know I couldn't) the ability to sketch ideas clearly during a discussion is very helpful in science | |
