“I still work with tracing paper, and I will never be able to part with it. There’s something about the act of touching the pen, getting messy, piling paper layer upon layer upon layer—in the end, [the drawing] comes out the way you want it. I’ve found that this part of the design process is much harder to do on the computer. A lot of times, that sketch represents the essence of a project, like a movie clip. And once it’s done, it’s very easy to follow: Everything just falls into place.”
