Do you do sketches, or something of the like, for your brides? Do you have an inexpensive program you use that works well? I made the mistake of telling a bride I'd put together a sketch for her... but I can't get it to work on my photoshop and my drawing skills are terrible! What do you do?
Hi,
I sketch by hand onto printed out templates.
Here is a link to the gallery here where you can find quite a few different templates. Just print them out as you need them.
Usually I'm sketching while the bride and groom are doing their tasting and we're going over the design. I don't get into great detail at that point.
When they book and give me a deposit then I'll do a final color sketch, but still by hand. (I happen to like drawing, so it's kind of fun)

I sketch on graph paper so I can do it to scale. I use colored pencils to color
I sketch the stick figure equivalent of a cake.
LOL! I'm always cakes in my head and then I put them on paper...and I think mine probably look worse than Leah's cake stick figure. I'm right there with ya on those drawings Leah!!

which is why there are plenty of templates in the patterns/sketches/templates gallery to make it easier.
BIG HINT!!!! -- for those who say "But I don't want the heavy lines to show in the final sketch --
well, take a piece of printer paper -- the cheap, thin kind. Lay it on TOP of a printout of the template. The lines will show through enough to guide you in making the shape, but will allow for a very subtle finished look without the heavy lines.
