I am not saying you need to thumbnail more but i think i am saying you need to thumbnail more.It literally the fastest thing to test something instead of investing hour into thing that can be solve before the stake are to high.Sure if we talking about render i think it come down to brush economy and planning.

I think the more i learn the more i realize how the first minute of a drawing are the most important.Small and quick thumbnail can save alot of trouble.If you don't have a clear vision there your ally.

Here a talk from feng zhu on the subject of thumbnailing i think it time well spent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsHD5GQ01og&t=359s

I'm watching this now. I regret not having taken this advice before. I did fine with this in school, with time limits. Outside of that context, I tend to noodle and have avoided doing thumbnails (outside of comics, where they are an unquestionable necessity) in order to avoid getting off track and spending way too much time noodling on nothing in particular. Instead of avoiding thumbnails, I need to quit noodling. Thanks for the reality check, it's deeply appreciated.
