SKETCHING
Why is concept sketching important ? What is Free Hand Sketching? Sketching of Straight Lines. The line is the most important part of free hand drawing as sketching is done by different lines. Straight lines can be divided into different lines such as oblique, horizontal, and vertical lines. Drawing straight lines for the first time is a difficult task. Mostly result in curved and arcs. Sketching of Vertical Lines • Sketching of Vertical Lines- A vertical line is drawn from the top to the bottom of the drawing sheet. Sketching of Horizontal Lines- When sketching horizontal lines, your hand and forearm should turn at the elbow, and the edge of your hand should slide horizontally on the paper. Sketching of Oblique Lines- The oblique lines are drawn from the one corner of the page to the other diagonally. Usually, the right-handed people draw sloping or oblique lines from the bottom left to the top right of the paper. Sketching of Rectangles-A rectangle is a common shape in technical drawings. To draw rectangles via free hand sketching different techniques are used. They can be drawn in several ways, but the easiest way to draw a rectangle is by drawing vertical or horizontal lines and rotating the paper at 90 degrees angle. Sketching of Curved Lines- Curved lines in the drawing can be arcs, circles, etc. To draw a circle, first, you should draw a center line and mark it with radii. Shape the radii points into a box, inside in which you can draw a circle. What are free-Hand Sketching Instruments?
Following instruments are needed for the drawing of
free hand sketching.
• 1. Soft Lead Pencil.
• 2. Eraser.
• 3. Sharpener.
• 4. Drawing Sheet.
• 5. Graph Sheet. 1. Hatching & Cross-Hatching
These methods are very common and effective ways to add depth to your sketches through shading.
When it comes to well-known pencil drawing styles that can level
up your sketches, hatching & cross-hatching is at the top of the list of skills you should learn.
Hatching is essentially a series of lines drawn along the main line
of your drawing to create shadow and depth.
These lines shouldn’t touch. Cross-hatching is a series of lines
used in the same way, but where they intersect.
The closer these lines, the darker the shading in your drawing will be. 2. Stippling
Stippling is the art of adding dots to add
shading and depth, similar to hatching or cross-hatching.
The closer the dots, the deeper the effect. To
ensure that your dots show up and make a better impact, it’s best to use softer graphite for this effect, as it comes out darker. 3. Scribbling Everyone has created idle scribbles on a piece of paper when waiting on hold during a telephone call. But scribbling is actually a drawing technique that can be very effective.
The characteristics of a scribbled sketch can be
identified by the erratic, uneven and definitely not straight lines within the piece.
Using random movements across the paper will result
in a somewhat deconstructed image, and the more irregular lines created closer together, the darker it will appear. 4. Circling Control the tone your pencil produces by simply adjusting the amount of pressure you place on it.
To create smooth transitions you can make small
circular strokes that give you a more blended appearance.
It’s important to note that you shouldn’t make
small circles with perceptible lines. Instead, move the pencil around in a circular motion when adding pressure.
For this approach, a duller pencil works best.
5. Smooth Shading & Blending
To add a cleaner shading element to your drawing,
you can try smooth shading.
This can be done in a number of ways, including
using your finger or a rolled-up piece of paper to blend in hatching or cross-hatching This will give your sketch a smoother appearance.
You can also blend simply by angling your pencil to
utilize the wider edge, creating thicker lines that create the appearance of shadows and shading. EXAMPLES Architecture
Express design concepts quickly before concrete hardline drawing Interior Design
Create expressive view of the different components of space Landscape Architect To convey concepts to client and study possible solutions Construction Management To describe specific details of a problems or opportunities on the job site to the architect or subcontractors.
