Comment on Stumpy Risky by MattBozon

I've tried that too. In general I find that tiny drawings lead to better designs. Or large ones using a crayon. Or... like this one where I try to go for deliberate low detail and maximum readability. I think its different ways of getting the same job done. So, what works for you is probably best but I like both approaches. Also, I might do a drawing if someone else is going to make the sprite, just as a way to communicate.
