Hello David,
I highly recommend Juliette Kennedy's work on mathematical drawing on this point—this essay in particular discusses drafting, scratch notes, drawing at the blackboard, etc.
Kennedy, Juliette. “Notes on the Syntax and Semantics Distinction, or Three Moments in the Life of the Mathematical Drawing.” In What Is a Mathematical Concept?, edited by Alf Coles, Elizabeth de Freitas, and Nathalie Sinclair, 55–75. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2017. https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/what-is-a-mathematical-concept/notes-on... .
Best, Sam

Dear All,
I’m wondering if you could point me to some references that treat the material and embodied practices — like writing, reading, publishing, lecturing — of people doing mathematics, symbolic logic, and calculation.
I’m interested particularly in the era *before* the widespread use of electronic computers.
Best wishes,
