I spent 8 hours last week hand sketching logos for a client. In a world pushing to automate everything, this felt nice. So I went back through my notebooks. Years of sketches, hundreds of explorations. All done by hand. No prompts. Just paper (or iPad) and a pen.
You’ll never really understand the nuances of the letter forms unless you’ve spent hundreds and hundreds of hours drawing them by hand. If you want to use AI to speed things up after that, fine. But in my opinion, skipping that step in the learning process is a huge mistake. That’s how you end up with weak fundamentals.
I can't wait to show you all my drawings of Trevor.

And these are so unique and refreshing to see
These are rad. What software do you use when putting them from paper to digital?
Going back to hand sketching always feels grounding. It’s less about polish and more about exploring ideas at their rawest stage.
delicious

Good fun, bring back the good old pencil and paper 📝
