Comments on: The Best (and Easiest) Advice on Sketching http://www.michaelroller.com/?p=907 Beautiful Design and the Strategy behind it Wed, 11 Aug 2010 19:09:34 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: mh http://www.michaelroller.com/?p=907&cpage=1#comment-647 mh Mon, 19 Oct 2009 02:42:59 +0000 http://www.michaelroller.com/?p=907#comment-647 These are all effective pointers Mike and for me, I had to learn to warm up, simply because i was wasting a lot of time trying to get everything to look perfect the first time I sat down. I had this expectation of myself that everything my pen touched had to be this masterpiece: detail, perspective and rendering quality. This left little room for the original function of sketching, which is to evaluate and elaborate ideas in a reasonable amount of time. Loose sketching is an accepted part of the process. Point being, the more you build warming up into practice, ideation can be quicker and more effective.

It was difficult at first (my job requires me to draw in pen, so I was kind of forced into it!) but after a while, it helped me focus more on the ideas than the sketches themselves, and now I can pump out sketches quickly and effeciently. Plus, they are super easy to scan and level! Although I don’t consider it a rule, I found that drawing in pen has helped me commit to my lines and get a lot faster at sketching.

Really i think the core of this is be confident in your sketching; or find someway to be confident, because not every sketch is going to be perfect, but be confident that you will improve as long as you keep at it. Good advice mike. Nice article, will we be covering this tomorrow? :) I always like Tony’s advice of drink 8 ounces.
