What is sketching?
Sketching is not about drawing. It is about design. Sketching is the rapid paper-based visualisation of high-level ideas, with the aim of capturing their simplest essence.
Why do we sketch?
- Generate many ideas.
- Add in new ideas as they come up.
- Can be done quickly and cheaply.
- Give you the freedom to make mistakes and think openly.
What I learnt from sketching?
- The design process is about getting the right design, and then getting that design right.
- Sketching is fun. There is no such thing as a bad idea.
- It is quick, easy and does not need a lot of materials ( Paper and pencil).
- It is a fundamental tool to helps designers express, develop and communicate design ideas.
