These should all be considered when you are doing thumbnail sketches. 1. How big is it?   What perpective should I use?   How do I indicate scale?   How large does the drawing have to be? Can it be? 2. How complex is it?   How many views do I need?   Can one view adequately describe?   Should I explode it? 3. Which of its features are most important?   Can one view show it all?   Would orthographic views help?   Which elements can I hide? 4. Where/How is it used?   How much Enviornment do I need to show?   What objects can I use to indicate surround? 5.
