Improve Sketching Techniques

Here are some of sketching techniques.

# Sketching is a way of freehand drawing, Detailers, designers, engineers, architects, engineers and industry to record their ideas on paper quickly, without allowing the use of tools. The moment they began their ideas, they can change and refine their sketches for presentation to their superiors or customers. Sketching is also helpful in planning a drawing or layout before using the tool.

# Sketches can be done in any kind of paper, white bond (preferred), newsprint, tracing paper napkins or transparent. White papers with light blue or gray grid lines in different grid sizes OF1 / 4 ", 1 / 8" or 1 / 10 "is helpful for beginners to design something the correct size. angled grid for isometric, oblique and perspective views are available for three-dimensional work.

A medium weight (H or HB) lead or drawing pencil with a rounded point works best for making freehand sketches. This pencil is hard enough to make a light line with a little finger pressure and soft enough to make a line darker by using more pressure.

Horizontal lines should be sketched by moving the hand and pencil from the left to the right if right handed. Avoid rotating your wrist as this will cause the line to arc. 5. Vertical lines should be sketched by moving the hand and pencil from the top in a downward direction. Keep the wrist locked to avoid arcing of line.

Angled lines should be sketched by moving the hand and pencil from the left to the right and angling upward or downward. Rotating the paper so lines are horizontal or vertical is also a good practice. Avoid rotating your wrist as this will cause the line to arc.

Arcs and circles should be sketched by creating horizontal and vertical center lines at the center point of the arc or circle. Next estimate the radius of the arc or circle on each center line and form a box with lines parallel to the center lines. Now start at the top of the box and create four arcs moving the pencil left to right and rotating the paper each time.

A multiview two dimensional (2D) sketch shows the actual shape of an object from different directions that are 90° apart. A typical multiview sketch will include views from the top, front and right side. The back, bottom and left side views are optional depending on the complexity of the objects shape.
