- pg 19y agoThe reason fat lines feel better in a sketch is that you're not forced to overcommit about the precision you want. Another alternative (often used by architects) is to make thin lines but deliberately make them wobbly.
- far33d 19y agoSketch and storyboard artists for film and animation often use sharpies for this same reason. You want to convey an idea first - people often zoom in on the finest detail in a drawing or design, and using inexact lines makes the design itself the thing you focus on.
