    His quick drawing was amazing. I have always been jealous of how some people can make a simple drawing but it looks so good and then when you envision something just as simple and good, the mind to pen does not translate. Really takes skill.

    I can speak from experience to say if you have a layout of mostly the same bricks (and color) it makes it much easier to process your actions before hand. I took about 40 mins in building my Empire Statr Building and only 10 mins of that was actually building and the rest was planning (before even touching a brick). But I had all the same black bricks of 2x2 and 1x2 so it was very easy to work with in a set limitation.
