Thumbnail sketches are very small and rough sketches outlining the elements in a proposed composition.
They can be done in pencil, with marker, paint, or collage. Whatever you choose to use, it should be quick and
easy. Below are some thumbnails for various projects by designers and illustrators.
thumbnails are the first opportunity a designer has to see the outline of the design. These little sketches
are experiments, undeveloped ideas. Once you get the idea out of your head and onto the paper, you can start making changes and decisions.
Think about the essential shapes of the design, the positive and negative shapes, and other principles and elements of design. Make quick notes around your sketches to remind you of details.
