Video Tutorial: Quick Thumbnailing
Here is a little video I prepared for a quick gestural type of sketching that is good for an ideation process. This type of sketching works well for me when I need to sketch something more complex. It allows you to cheat a bit by just sort of indicating where things may go without having to sketch all of the parts perfectly. While these sketches are not very “clean” or pretty, they do serve a good purpose in getting some good mileage down at the start of a project.

Hey John just a quick question about sketchbook pro 2010, making brushes.
What did you base your custom brush on? Pencil? Pen? Chisel tip pen?
Just incase people were curious
Good question… probably should have addressed that in the vid. I made the brush based on a chisel tip pen. It has a slight angle to it and made to taper just slightly.
Problems with the video ?
works fine for me.
Work fine here too. I am loving this technic
! I will do some sketches using this. Thx!
Thanks for this. I love the beginning sketch phases and thumbnailing in a moleskine with a felt pen, but I’m always a little more uncomfortable doing these loose things decently digitally. Definitely some good ideas here for it, so hopefully that will push me more towards the digital workflow.
Hey there. LOVE the website, I am a design lecturer and it is so refreshing to listen to the designers featured capturing what we tell our students. I am trying to open the film files on my laptop at home and they aren’t running – do i need flash or something?? Thanks!
Yes you do need flash. Currently the video files are not available for download.
I use FireFox, download helper addon… video files are easily downloaded…
Additionally, RealPlayer has ability to download video files via the web
well, the original source videos are on lockdown. You could download the swf’s I imagine, but at the same time, that’s not the idea of us providing the videos on the site.
I was just responding to your post… dont need flash for video on this page.. use firefox and downhelper combo to save out as mp4 file so you can view on your desktop with quicktime
