The document provides an introduction to sketching and drawing, defining a sketch as a rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not a finished work, and outlining the differences between sketching and drawing; it discusses techniques for sketching such as pencil grips and strokes, and provides exercises for practicing skills like parallel lines, angles, squares, and circles; the goal is to help designers learn basic sketching skills through playing games and exercises.

3. Lets play a small game!!! Close your eyes
after seeing the image and try drawing it freely on a sheet of paper
with a pencil provided.

5. The thing that you did on the piece of paper is called a “SKETCH”
What is a sketch...

6. A sketch is a rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not usually
intended as a finished work.

7. What is the difference between
drawing and sketching...
• Sketching is when you are quickly laying out your artwork
with a basic outlines of what you want and where you want it.
• Drawing is when you go into more detail such as adding those
second marks on a watch. Practice a lot and you will become
better at it.

9. Drafting/Technical Sketching
• Technical sketching is a freehand sketch.
• The only equipment required to execute technical sketches are soft
pencils in the F to HB range, paper, and an eraser.

10. Bravo!...They did it all!!

11. Leonardo da Vinci
A painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist,
mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist,
geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer.

12. Henry Dreyfuss
• One of the celebrity industrial designers of the 1930s and 1940s,
Dreyfuss dramatically improved the look, feel, and usability of
dozens of consumer products.
• Dreyfuss was not a stylist: he applied common sense and a scientific
approach to design problems.
• His work both popularized the field for public consumption, and
made significant contributions to the underlying fields
of ergonomics, anthropometrics, and human factors.

14. The Basics of Sketching
•Use a soft pencil, e.g. HB
•Grasp the pencil between your fingers, about 20 mm from its tip.
•Do not rest your hand on the paper while you draw (do free-hand
drawing)
•Hold the pencil at an angle so that you are able to see its point.
•Be relaxed about what you are doing.

18. EXERCISES: PRACTISE SESSIONS

19. "Practice makes a man perfect"
- Is it right?

20. Step A:
Draw a number of parallel lines, vertically, horizontally and diagonally.
Try to focus on the point towards which you are drawing the lines, and
keep your wrist from bending.

21. Step B:
Once you feel at ease with drawing parallel lines, you may start
drawing horizontal and vertical lines to form right angles (90 degree
angles).

22. Step C:
When you are able to draw these right angles confidently, you are
ready for the next step: drawing squares. Squares and rectangles are
commonly used to frame other objects that are sketched.

23. Step D:
If you have to draw a circle, it may be useful to sketch a square –
lightly. The sides should be equal to the diameter of the circle that is
required. By marking the centers of the four sides you will identify the
points of contact of the circle..

24. Step E:
If you have to draw a circle, it may be useful to sketch a square –
lightly. The sides should be equal to the diameter of the circle that is
required. By marking the centers of the four sides you will identify the
points of contact of the circle..

25. Let’s play a game again...
BLIND SKETCHING TO FEEL THE PRODUCT

26. Sketch product on the whiteboard; what you can feel is there inside
the box.

27. Keep sketching ...
