I do when I'm vectoring and when I'm webdesigning, that's about it.
I think it'd be a bit hard to do it with emotes XD |

^lol. you don't need particularyly good drawing skills. i do. i draw a box for content and orient my header/image accordingly. if there's people, i draw a lump circle atop an crooked oval. i erase and redraw with the image and other content boxes till i'm happy. btw, i'm actually not that bad of an artist. i'm just spectacularly lazy. |

blah I'm not a very creative thinker, so I just start with the computer/pscs and through thuoghts into it, and then procrastination gets me and I leave it and never get back to it.

Nah, I never draw. When i first started designing my friend told me to draw it out but the ideas just wouldn't get to me and so I just went straight to the computer instead.

Yes, always. It's apart of the creative process and one of my favorite things about designing.

I usually only sketch on paper first when I'm having a hard time thinking of a new website layout arrangement.

I wouldnt design anything that I didnt like, and I dont like my drawings.. So yeah thats just how it works out. heh. Maybe I will try one day, to sketch up something. And perhaps it will turn out nicely. but idk. |

No, I just design on the computer. I tried drawing an idea before, but it never worked out for me lol. I think it's nice drawing graphic sketches and then vectoring the sketch in illustrator or something. =] I do that once in a while.

A couple of times when I was trying to figure out ways to reorganize my MySpace. I'm not very good at drawing things out.

that's sad, drawing and going from there is a really good way to get things the way your brain really wants them
its subconshous. [dear grammar/spelling nazi's, subconshous is spelled wrong on purpose. deal.] |

Even in my writing classes in high school/college, my teachers could never get me to do any sort of prewriting. If it was ASSIGNED, I would wait until after my paper was finished and do it then, make it look like I'm planning. I just write so much better when I dive into it and edit as I go. Same thing with programming, my professor will ask us to turn in our pseudocode and I always forget, so I just write something up after I'm finished with the project.
I suck at planning. My work comes out better if I just do it. Sometimes if I'm bored and I don't have a computer in front of me, I'll map out a design, but I hardly ever follow through with that plan. |

A lot of the time my photo manipulations are inspired by the original stock image, so I work from there. But if I have a really, really specific direction I want to work in, then I will make a very rough sketch. Rough as in stick figures and more labels than actual drawings. haha.
