For me, practice makes better, because no-one's perfect. No worries, Kelton, and it’s great you find some use in my blog. For me, practice makes better, because no-one’s perfect.

I guess it all goes back to the old saying "practise makes perfect" which i continue to do everyday. Unfortunately i do not have the luxury of attending graphic design school so i have been trying to teach myself especially logo design which i have grown fondly of because of its challenge. your blog is a great source of information and inspiration. thanks again ps sorry about the using tiny url hi david,

Artistic skill isn't a gift, but something to be learnt, so stick with it if you want to improve. For the link, please use the full web address — no tinyurls or tr.ims etc. Cheers. Kelton,

For me, the sketch process unlocks my brain. I can stare at a computer screen for hours and nothing comes out right. I can sit with a sketch pad and come up with a multitude of ideas in the same amount of time. There is something about the physical connection of pencil to paper. My only wish was that my drawing skills were a little better. I do find that once I have a sketch on paper, I can translate it to computer so much easier. I loved this article.

The best paintings in history and a lot of the greatest commercial artwork ever done started with a sketch. Or as it's more properly called, a study. Good post PB.
