I generally do some sketching before projects but you can only take this so far before the Mac needs to get involved.

I know they say you shouldn't design straight onto the pc, you should always sketch first, but I never ever sketch first. It's probably because I started out designing on the pc first and it's the method I've got used to. I only sketch first when I need to get design work done and my pc is on the blink and I'm sketching to save time on the design project whilst trying to fix it! :) Nice link to your doodle by the way - such detail, my my you are patient :) You know, most designers seem to like starting out with paper first and then move those ideas onto the pc, but whenever I try that it never works out very well on the whole and always takes me much longer.

I've produced a number of pen illustrations for myself which have lead to other things. I mainly liked leaving the computer behind and just drawing, trouble is finding the time, but when I do I'm always glad I did. Always good to have a little play around.
