Thumbnail sketches have a lot of benefits but it’s not always obvious what they are, often doing the extra work of drawing out multiple thumbnail sketches can seem pointless. I challenge the misconceptions about using thumbnail sketches through sharing my own experiences and mistakes. I discuss the advantages and disadvantages to using them, and I also share an exclusive offer which I talk about towards the end of the episode. This podcast series shares helpful hand lettering information, tips, and resources, everything from beginning lettering to going pro. New episodes are available weekly, usually first airing on Tuesdays. Remember to subscribe using the links just below so that you don’t miss future episodes!
