Thumbnails can establish all the information you need: - Perspective of the scene - Character proportions - Who is there - Their expression and pose - Their relationship to the environment and other characters (2/6)

You'll have to practice specifically: - Thumbnailing with accurate proportions (for your style) (gesture drawing is great for this!) - Creating accurate perspective without a grid - Drawing and studying things based on their relationship to eachother (angle, distance, etc) (3/6)

Sometimes, I need more information than the thumbnail has. If I run into this, I just sketch whatever I need on the spot! Here, for instance, I needed an accurate angle of the bench they're on, and I couldn't figure out Steve's torso with just the thumbs. (4/6)

Ultimately, the art process is unique to the artist. For some people, Sketching is absolutely necessary! Heck, I still sketch for a lot of my work. But, if you hate sketching or have strict deadlines, here's your sign that you don't have to sketch anymore! Be free! (6/6)

I love them so much you have no idea
