Recently I was pointed to this short little video on the Copic marker site that gives a great little synopsis of why we (as designers) sketch and render. It features some work by Oliver Neuland (who seems to have a lot of sketch skills and natural talent!). One of my favorite lines from the short narration is, “renderings and sketches are therefore a means to an end.”

If at sometimes it seems that we give off the wrong vibe here, know that we are believers in the sketch being a tool to get you down the road toward the bigger picture. It is important to be proficient in sketching so that you can sell your ideas and have “visual persuasion” (my new catchy phrase) of your ideas. Check out the vid.

(thanks to Karson Shadley for the link).
