At the time that you draw a sketch, you probably know what you meant to draw.  However, if you show that sketch to other people, they are less likely to know exactly what you were thinking, and so they may interpret the lines and elements in your sketch differently than you did.  That reinterpretation can lead to new ideas.  And you don't always have to rely on someone else for this.  If you put your sketch down and pick it up some time later, you may forget exactly why you drew it the way you did.  So, you have to reinterpret your own sketch, and that may lead to new connections for yourself.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CEEB7A35-03DA-485A-9EA5-0EBE783E2230/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
