Good designers do not touch computers before they play with their pencil. Good designers always scratch their rough idea for quick visualization before touching any digital device. Pencil is the basic of all design tools.

I really love this post because I know how important it is to never forget putting pencil, pen, or brush to paper even if there is a computer program that is easier more efficient. I can feel my brain get excited when I haven’t touched my artwork for a while. I literally get happier. And I’ve read a lot of the research about the value of handwritten notes and doodling. I’m glad that I was doing it for the love of it and don’t have to be coerced to return!
