This article explores the role and challenges of quick sketching techniques in the development of artistic thinking. The topic is particularly relevant today due to the need to enhance creative thought, generate new ideas, and discover forms of visual expression. Quick sketching techniques are a crucial factor in expanding an artist’s imagination and rapidly identifying compositional solutions. The article highlights the practical needs and theoretical foundations driving the advancement of this technique. The objective of the article is to analyze the theoretical bases of quick sketching techniques and to substantiate their role in fostering artistic thinking. It examines samples of quick sketches by creative artists and conducts a comparative analysis among various creative groups. Additionally, methods such as observation, analysis of visual examples, and evaluation of their compositional and expressive values are employed. The research concludes that quick sketching techniques accelerate the synthesis and analytical processes of artistic thinking and effectively contribute to enriching creative imagination and aesthetic taste. This article is dedicated to a comprehensive study of quick sketching techniques in artistic creation and can serve as a practical guide for visual arts educators, artists, and designers. It addresses issues related to the development of artistic thinking and the acceleration of the creative process, with particular emphasis on expressing new ideas through the quick sketch method and expanding the horizons of thought.
