Sketching loosely is an activity that cannot be taken lightly. It allows
designers to explore different alternatives quickly, but it requires
concentration. There are different techniques to explore design alternatives,
but usually we start with the most obvious solutions and sketch concepts

design solutions and details from the different sketches and combine them
into more unique and sound solutions.
