His drawings looked great; when he got going with colours you would 
want to put them on the walls.

You just couldn't build from them.

A lot of that was fun, but some wasn't. When you had to change a 
drawing, whether on vellum or mylar for the 10th time, and you erased 
a hole right through the vellum or took the tooth off the mylar, then 
it stopped being fun. When you erased sepias and the fumes nearly 
made you throw up (and probably develope lung cancer) then it stopped 
being fun. When you had to use a specified pen and lettering template 
or leroy and fill a 30"x42" drawing with specifications, then it 
stopped being fun.

Now I do sketches on paper, but drawings get done on the computer. 
Notes get typed. More fun.
