Le roughman est chargé, à la demande du directeur artistique d’une agence de publicité, de dessiner des esquisses (rough) qui représentent le concept développé par l’agence lors de l’élaboration d’une campagne publicitaire. Montrés au client, ces rough lui permettent de se faire une opinion sur la création en cours et de la retenir ou non. Ils jouent donc un rôle commercial extrêmement important. Afin de représenter au mieux les idées créatives de l’agence, le roughman travaille donc en très étroite relation avec le directeur artistique, doit disposer de très grandes qualités d’écoute et savoir dessiner rapidement. 4, record 2, French, - esquisseur
