Sketches have characters, exits, entrances and are vastly different.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You can't do sketches enough. Sketch everything and keep your curiosity fresh.
Writing sketches, you're also learning about a journey and characters, and you translate that to bigger things.
When I'm writing, I'm creating the story and its character with words. I'm thinking about what the pictures will be like, but I never begin to sketch. The pictures are all in my head.
Sketching is almost everything. It is the painter's identity, his style, his conviction, and then color is just a gift to the drawing.
If you start with character, you probably will end up with good drawings.
When you're writing a sketch, it has to be surrounded by a situation. It can't just be out of the air.
The truth is, I don't sketch much at all. I have a very visual/spatial brain that retains a lot of information about maps, directions, positioning, and details, so I usually prefer working out those issues on the page itself.
When I teach sketch writing, there's still a beginning, middle and end.
A good short-story writer has an instinct for sketching in just enough background to ground the specific story.
A sketch is just a mini movie.
