Don’t think theres much recorded history out there. But I’m sure some of the old guys at the IDSA could give you some good historical accounts and you can probably dig their contact info up online.
I think purely sketch related you see a lot of evolution due to changes in mediums. Charcoal/pencil->Gauche/Canson->Magic markers->Digital. But I think you can also see how different eras inspired different styles. Super realistic->Abstract and emotional.
Theres always been designers on each side of the spectrum too, so a lot of that may have more to do with personal styles over the history itself. Luigi Colani has been waving around a paint brush for a long time.
