Start On Paper: Work without CMD-Z

So, the Washington Post has a pretty good article from a month or so ago; it says that design software weakens classic drawing skills.

Robert Anthony Annable agrees, and takes it one step further: he disagrees with the contention that design software lets you move faster:

Firstly, there’s not a way made that I can get my PC to move as fast as the speed I need things to move from my brain to the page. Briskly maybe, but not nearly briskly enough.

Secondly, frustration, forced concentration, introspection and revisions of an idea or vision are all conditions that should be sought out and embraced. Not eradicated with ctrl-z.

Which is just exactly right. (Emphasis mine.)
