Sketching Reference
Thumbnail Sketching
In thumbnail sketching, it’s important to keep it simple, but make sure to capture important details. For example, in a thumbnail sketch of the block in Figure 1, it’s not necessary to show the grain of the wood, but the letters on the faces of the block are important. |
