    One thing that should have been obvious, I mean, if you use the right tools, it's quite simple to draw a sketch.

    I don't go skiing in tennis shoes, but I often pretend that I can use crayons, quill pens or leftover pencil heads to paint an industrial-grade effect. Oh, that's stupid. Only recently did I realize how important it is to have a good "outfit", and that is to use a sledgehammer to kill cows.

    Here are my "outfit" to see how they help me become a better user experience designer.

    1. Mesh Storage Bag

    I know what you're thinking. The storage bag is not a sketch-drawing tool. Then you are wrong, because: it can put all your tools together, easy to pick and take away. This means that you are more likely to carry them with you and therefore can be used in more cases.

    If you can draw some sketches for the object of discussion during the discussion, you can use the painting to clarify what people are saying and to make each person have the same understanding. The sketches produced in real time during this communication process have unparalleled power to promote imagination, and are continually referenced, referenced, and referenced. For example, "Remember the day we drew a box and two circles." I think we missed another circle ... "

    2. Warm Gray Mark Pen

    If you hesitate to stick to a sketch of a line that looks funny as a professional business deliverable, a warm gray marker will instantly make the sketch more beautiful. I usually use gray to describe the focus, add some simple shadows, subtle areas to distinguish the foreground and background. This will make the sketch more layered and make it easier for the eyes to interpret the specific situation.
