I’m doing my first UX portfolio on Wix. I have the case studies content drafted out, but I’m struggling with brainstorming wireframes/actual UI for my case studies. I make it a rule to look for dribbble/behance for inspo but only sketch when im not looking at things because I don’t want to copy directly.

I’ve tried using paper/thin markers highlighters, tried using procreate, and also illustrator/photoshop & a tablet. I keep running into issues where I feel overwhelmed. How do I simplify this?

You can wireframe on figma - makes your life easier. In the real world you wouldn’t start with paper and pencil but straight to mid fidelity

I was experiencing some creative ruts and managed to explore more brushes on procreate that made wire-framing more approachable :)
