Sketching is really important for a painter. I find that it really helps me to develop ideas and decide if I want to actually paint an image. I will admit I don't always sketch before I start a painting, probably to my own detriment, but it is something that always helps me when I do decide to do it. Funny... I never painted this guy, maybe because I was happy with how the sketch turned out. I really enjoy sketching and it helps me focus on values... which is really helpful when painting.
