Designers: Draw! Don't Be A "Tooler"

2106.A great article on the value of actually drawing in graphic design rather than only using your digital tools to create was referred to on the Vonster's Art Backwash blog.

It's opinionated, but if it comes off as arrogant then you've not been sampling Von Glishka's design work. It's typically killer and when you read the article, you'll get an idea of why. He knows whereof he speaks.

Don't draw well? Improve your skills! There's a metric buttload of books out there if you can't afford a class.

Or, as Yul Brynner's Gunslinger in the great movie Westworld directed to the last human alive: Draw.

You want to be alive as a designer?

Draw.
