Tom Stromberg of The Geniant Blog has put up a great post about the value of hand drawn sketches in the creative process.
I’ve always loved drawing and I used to do a lot more of it when I was younger. Recently I’ve been wanting to try and integrate more sketching into my work and rely less on software to visualize ideas. After recently seeing Mike Rohd’s stunning sketches from SXSW and reading about a particularly interesting drawing class in Daniel Pink’s A Whole New Mind (which I highly recommend), I decided to give it a go on my own.
I recently purchased the book referenced in Pink’s work, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, along with its companion workbook and plan to treat it like a class I’m taking all by my lonesome. I’ll be sure to post updates as I work my way through.
If you’re at all interested in the subject, make sure to check out Stromberg’s piece.
