Limit your exploratory-sketching runs to anywhere between 5 and 15 minutes. This will focus you and keep you attentive as you sketch. It will also remove the pressure of having to come up with a good idea.
-
Sketch Fast and Continuously
-
Rather than sketching sequentially, page by page in a notebook, do your exploratory sketching on large rolls of newsprint. This allows you to think spatially rather than linearly.
-
Sketch Spatially
-
The goal is to choose tools that are intuitive to you, tools that don’t place a technical barrier between your thinking and your sketching.

Sketch with Intuitive Tools
-
lateral thinking. It basically means: Don’t fix on a single solution too soon. Early in your design phase, explore wide rather than deep. Come up with several possible solutions to a given problem before fixing on one and developing it vertically into a finished design. The obvious advantage of lateral thinking is that it lets you compare the merits of various solutions before committing to one. A less obvious advantage is that it allows you to synthesize multiple solutions into an even better solution. A third advantage is that one idea can lead to another. When you sketch laterally, you don’t have a specific agenda for where your sketching explorations should lead. The whole sketching process is eventually heading toward order and synthesis, but sometimes the chaos of a system must increase before it can realize its ideal state of balance. So don’t be afraid to get on out there with your sketches—break the rules, be outlandish, reach, drift. Later in the process, when the time does comes to evaluate, it will be much easier to reel in crazy ideas than to extend tame, lame, safe ideas.

Exploratory sketching is sketching for yourself to generate ideas. It is entirely different from representational drawing, which is drawing to communicate your ideas to someone else.

your first idea is probably not your strongest.

David FeldA calligraphy teaching says, “Emancipation of mind and freedom of gesture are in effect identical.” ... You could launch the same exploratory-sketching exercise using different drawing media and arrive at radically different results.
