I'm not trying to market anything (yet), so there's no pressure to make it "perfect." I'm drawn to the computer to see what I can do with something once it's sketched out, but every time I've tried to start with software I've run out of gas creatively. Or maybe it's the enthusiasm that leaks out. Yes, the messiness of the graphite on my hands is a satisfying thing. I could go halfway and use rulers and triangles (lo-fi technology) but even those slow down the creative process at the start. Your article makes me feel even better about going freehand first.

If you take the (World Population / Whatever version Adobe is on) * (The current year + Number of tutorial blogs online) - People who want to be writers = Number of people who call themselves Designers! My only fear is that (since I do digital illustration and design) I'm actually one of those people. Ouch. I totally agree.
