Sketch and Plan before

Usually, when someone starts drawing or doodling (including myself) usually they just start drawing ._. no planning, no draft, no nothing. Just drawing what comes to mind.  Well, recently, I noticed that going this route won't provide as much success.  To be truly successful in drawing a great character, you need to plan or sketch it first.  At least picture the character in your head before you draw it.  That's all! Keep this in mind the next time you draw sumthin :D. Good luck, again.
