Pencil Me in: The Business Drawing Book for People Who Can't Draw by Christina Wodtke
4.0
A nice little, quick-and-dirty guide to using sketching and visual thinking for improving creativity. For me, a valuable reinforcement of some techniques I use, though I'm much rawer.
If there's one flaw to this book (like many other books discussing the same kind of approach), is that it emphasises you can sketch with just lines, arrows, stick people, and basic shapes, but then shows beautiful, finished work by expert sketchers. They're inspirational, but I'd like to see something that shows idea communication with much less expert work. I could use that roughness to show clients and colleagues how these tools can work.
