I don't think sketching is only useful for designers. Before I solve complex coding problems I usually have a block where I can scribbled and sketch solutions. This method makes it much easier to brainstorm and think than using something rigid like a text editor (at least for me).
I'd love to see more sketches just to see how much detail a designer puts into a sketch on average, and how that varies across different areas of design. It's nice to see barebone sketches like Maykel's and Ian's. Even after reading bill buxton's book on sketching, i still catch myself trying to refine sketches just so they look nice even after an idea is explored.<p>Thanks for compiling these, looking forward to see more!

Very nice sketches. But I want to point out that if you don't sketch you shouldn't feel like you're "doing it wrong".<p>Sketching is not a required step. Starting straight in Photoshop (or even in the browser) are both valid methods too.
Great post and great sketches! Inspired by these, I published some sketches (within wireframes), too!
You find them on my page:

love seeing intial sketches alongside finished products. I should use my notebook or dot grid book or whatever more often but alot of my designs have their very first iteration on POST-ITS. Could start a tumblr for initial post-it sketches hehe.
