The speed with which you draw something indicates the speed of that object. A big wet brushstroke moves. It's alive. A perfectly ruled line with a technical pen doesn't move. It's slow.
I did a Star Wars story on Alderaan, which didn't even have concept art for it. I panicked. I had to design Alderaan! I had to make [the design] cohesive. Durwin [Talon] said if I built everything out of a few simple shapes, it would all hold together naturally and seem organic. It worked.

When people do period work, they tend to draw only things made in a specific decade. If it's the thirties, they'll draw stuff that only came out in the thirties, and forget that people still drove old cars from the twenties and 1910's in the thirties.
