It's nice article. Sketching is a tool that execute your visualize ideas into papers in a short time. The sketch gives lot of potential for your exploration in visualizing ideas, that decides your concepts will be worth to take into digital or not. Direct digital explorations swallow lot of time and may be you fail to recall your ideas.
Sketching is an always good practice.

Good article and very good point. I also experienced the same situation. It's difficult to show a sketch that your not proud of. I then opened my eyes and realized it doesn't need to be perfect. I think if your not in front of the client and presenting the concept threw video conference or phone, you should put more time in it but if your right in front of him, your sketch doesn't need to be has good.

Theres another side to this... Clients can have real turn off when looking at the sketch. We also need to inform them BEFORE what is the point of sketching.

Good article!

Excellent source for graphic artists just starting out, and the message also applies to other forms of design. Great work!

Love the article. Although I do not have a lot of artistic talent drawing a schetch is usually the way I start, especially since graphic design is not my number one field of expertise. It puts action to even my earliest thoughts, and allows different routes for expansion. This sometimes allows me to complete more than one project simultaneously if they are somewhat related. I cannot stress the importance of putting thoughts into action.

Great artical! I too am a graphic designer and this artical is right on target. In school once I had a design instructor give us an assignment to do four book covers, she wanted a minumum of 25 thumbnails per cover, and everybody moaned. However I think the whole idea was to drive home the importance of thumbnail sketches. They are really important. I don't know how many times I started a project and thought my first couple where pretty good, then I would just keep going, only to find the longer I did it, the better they got. So GO SKETCH! Rhonda
