Why doing fast sketching is so important
When it comes to sketching, the best thing is that you can do it fast. There is no need for precision or high quality. Sketching is the way of thinking, composing ideas, depicting poses, and capturing the moment. Because sketches are disposable exercises, you can draw as fast as you like. Often, it is not about the end result, but a process. Needless to mention, if you have great drawing skills, your sketches might look like respectable pieces of art, but it is not the point of sketching. Fast sketches are just like thoughts; you think about something briefly and then move your thought in another direction. This is a great way of fine-tuning a composition, for example. Instead of drawing a well-detailed picture, you may just scribble a few lines to capture your idea and move to another one or make a better version one after another. Sketching saves time, trains your hand and eye and greatly improves your creativity.
