Designing furniture taught me to value hand sketches

I used to jump straight to CAD, but sketching first saved time. Have you found this too?

Frank Lloyd Wright's apprentices said he burned through sketchpads before any blueprints, which makes total sense.

Totally, my painter friend does the same thing before any big mural. He'll fill a whole notebook with little scribbles that look like nothing, then suddenly the whole wall makes sense. Kinda like how @masonbell said Wright burned through sketchpads, right? My friend says it stops him from buying the wrong colors or realizing a idea is bad halfway up a ladder.

Wait, sketching saves you time? I always figured it would slow everything down. You really get the whole idea figured out on paper first?
