It would be interesting to see an entire project of yours from ideation to final product. I think it would also bring a lot of value to viewers as well

2D thumbnailing really allows ideas to flow freely, and you realise at the end of it that you have created so many potentially strong ideas!

This method has very broad applications not only in product design but other applications as well. I forgot how liberating it is when your not bound to produce a finished item. Thanks for reminding me of the process.

I love the use of the biro, it took me back to being berated by a lecturer when I used one for quickly getting simple ideas down on paper, advice I chose to ignore, I still to this day, use one for design scribbles, simple, quick, efficient, adequate for the context.

Thumbnails are ESSENTIAL for composition in illustration!

Can you give some trick and tips for Dailey observation

[aluckyjar]

Great video mate. Do you do this step before or after the ‘gathering inspiration’ stage of looking at other designs?

[jraimond]

Hello--just curious to know what 'sticky pad' you used there?

[kshitijlalingkar]

sir, what all exercises do you recommend to improve line quality?

[amelie]

hi there, I was wondering how long you take on a simple design like a plug head or bottle. I spend too much time trying to get it neat, I rough idea would be nice, Thanks
