Over at the First Second blog, Nick Abadzis emphasizes the importance of sketching:
Sketching is like play — it exercises certain creative muscles that would otherwise either atrophy or snap from overwork. It’s important. It frees up the mechanism in your brain that usually stays focused and produces tight drawings as part of a comics narrative, and I think it’s wise to allow it some downtime, so to speak. Otherwise, you run the risk of going stale.
Apparently Abadzis has is own sketch blog too, which is nice to know.
