In the book, "the Back of the Napkin", Dan Roam (2008, p.25) pointed out that the spontaneity and roughness of hand-drawn pictures make them less intimidating and more inviting. Visual thinking is not about how polished our presentations are, but it is in how comfortable we are in thinking with our eyes. Therefore, audiences respond better to hand-drawn images (however crudely drawn) than to polished graphics. People then feel like working in a common ground and do not worry about offering up half-formed ideas for consideration.
