As creative professionals, many of our clients expect that we have what they term “traditional art skills”. Well, just because I’m a graphic designer, doesn’t mean that I can draw. Or at least that I think that I can draw. The truth is, we’re too judgmental of our own work. Today, we’re throwing that all out the window. Grab your sketch book or a sheet of paper and choose something in your work area to draw. There are three catches to this exercise. One: YOU CANNOT LOOK AT YOUR PAPER. Two: YOU CANNOT PICK UP YOUR PEN. Three: YOU HAVE A 60 SECOND LIMIT UNTIL YOU MOVE TO THE NEXT OBJECT TO SKETCH. Have fun and remember, when you’re done your sketch looks exactly the way it was supposed to.
