Q. What is the best way to quickly get an idea of how your drawing is going to look?

A. It is always a good ideas to visualize the drawing first in your head. This exercise is difficult for some people but with practice it will come easier. Using the images in your head as a starting point, begin to sketch on the paper the essence of what you see using minimul lines and very little detail. This should be no great investment in your time. Light sketchy lines can be erased and re-drawn. Continue this exploration until it captures the images of your imagination.
