Sketching Tutorials which helped Me

There are lot of things which I need to sketch or would like to sketch since they clearly explains the thought which I have for any particular project. Doing a sketch is a focused act along with a overall dream like thought which is in your mind but not really very convenient or easy to translate on paper.

Online Platforms for doing sketching

I am interested in sketching, but most usually it is the more conventional tracing book an some interesting color felt pen which are one off the best mediums to use for the initial thoughts and brain storming sessions. But with time constraints and the convenience of a computer in hand which works for almost anything that we can think of  today online sketching platform seems to be a new mode. I have not tried enough till date but my recent and frequent visits to few of these sites has been very very good. So I think its time for me to list it for the best benefit of there use by me and maybe for few of you who are interested.
