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:

- Disposable sketches: Sketches are for exploring and creating new ideas. So no need to put too much effort and money on them.
