Don’t Forget About Drawing

random_01 random_02 random_03 Nowadays with all the fancy computer tools out there the temptation is to let the computer do most of the work for you. When you're really up against a deadline I can see how this is useful, but there is nothing more satisfying than simple old pencil and paper to rock out a drawing. As much as I can I try to sketch and doodle  whenever possible.  I carry a sketchbook most everywhere I go.   Sometimes I find I just bring the sketchbook along for the ride, but the whole point is to actually USE it. Whenever I am waiting in line, by myself, or bored, I open the sketchbook and start to doodle. It's the pencil mileage that really matters, it's the basis for everything we do.
