Focus on Ideas, not just making Art
With the help of sketching you can easily explore and communicate new ideas. But don’t focus on too much on the drawing, the main purpose of the sketches is to create new ideas.
The basic elements of the sketching process are as following:
- Quick sketches: Make quick sketches to increase productivity.
- At the right time: Time is very important. Do not draw all the time. Only make sketches when needed.
- Disposable sketches: Sketches are for exploring and creating new ideas. So no need to put too much effort and money on them.
- Multiple sketches: Draw multiple sketches which provide different aspects of interaction over the time.
- Minimal sketching: Make simple and minimal drawing to clear on concept at a time.
