Over the years, I’ve always had a pile of half-empty sketchbooks to work in, with various types of paper, sizes or formats.<\/h4>\n

Over the years, whenever I needed to, I’d pull a sketchbook out from my pile, and draw in it for a page or two to help solidify an idea, play with a new pen or less often, sketch some person, scene or object in front of me. Sometimes I’ve kept a sketchbook in my desk at work, to help me work out a visual design idea.<\/p>\n

But in recent years, I haven’t sketched nearly as much as I used to back when I was an art student, or back in the early days of my career.<\/p>\n

Recently, I’ve felt the need, and have begun sketching again. \u00a0This time though, in addition to pens and pencils, my sketching media include smart phones and tablet computers.<\/p>\n
