WHAT IS SKETCHING GOOD FOR?
Thinking
Visualisation
Understanding
Communication
!!Externalising the design process
A way of selling ideas
@francisrowland
My approach consists of a lot of sketching. I draw to freely explore possibilities, I draw to visually understand what I am thinking. I draw to evaluate my ideas and intuitions by seeing them coming to life on paper, I draw to help my mind thinking without limitations, without boundaries
