I agree, Mo-i…this is a huge part of why I love the boards. They remind you that everyone on here is human and has the same speed bumps along their career.
I still remember when I was working with Yo and a couple others here on the board on The Brief DVD…I loved watching the other designers work. The main thing that I always caught when watching others sketch is their speed. It is WAY slower than I imagine it “should” be done. There’s so much empahsis on “cranking out ideas” that I think quality tends to get wrapped up in that equation.
Watch some of the videos here on the boards of guys like Blaster…he is methodical in his approach. Slow and sure wins the race…as they say.
