Jason Santa Maria on having a sketchbook
Sketchbooks are not about being a good artist, they’re about being a good thinker.
Obviously, some people bring the practice of sketching to a higher art form, but to me it’s always been about visual brainstorming and record-keeping in a format with a ridiculously low barrier to entry. My drawings look like shit, but fidelity doesn’t matter as long as I can convey my ideas to others or to my future self.
