    Quick thumbnail sketch #1

    It is only 3″x4″ in size and colored with markers and colored pencil using all six colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple). Outlined with Prismacolor black pencil.  Took only 5 minutes, it is a great way to communicate your great ideas quickly with your clients.

     

     

     

    Quick thumbnail sketch #2

    Again, the size and time spent is same as the one above, tips used are: Color Rainbow (all six colors), Color Pairs (orange and blue), Outlined with Black (Prismacolor black pencil), Dark foreground / light background, Color Glow (using light colors on white paper), Try them, you can do it too.

    Mike,
    Any tips for someone faced with a situation where they have maybe a minute at the most for sketching without color in front of a client?

    It is so true that small sketch can save time and able us to draw without fear.  However 2″x2″ seems to be too small. Keep it in 2×3 or 3×4 or 4×6 will be good for correct proportion.

    As long as you know the tips on setting up a quick 1 point perspective method (not 2 point, as it will take longer), and just use pen (LePen, Stylish or Pentel Sign pen) to sketch quickly.  I will post the quick method in the near future to share with everyone.
