The document provides an overview of sketching and discusses the basics of sketching including what a sketch is, the difference between sketching and drawing, common sketching techniques like different pencil grips and strokes, examples of famous designers like Leonardo Da Vinci and Henry Dreyfuss, and exercises to practice sketching techniques like drawing lines, angles, squares and circles. The workshop concludes with an exercise where participants sketch a product by touch alone to practice sketching without sight.

Lets play asmall 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 thatyou did on the piece of paper is called a “SKETCH”
What is a sketch...
6.
A sketch isa rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not usually
intended as a finished work.

What is thedifference 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.
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.
Leonardo da Vinci
Apainter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist,
mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist,
geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer.

Henry Dreyfuss
• Oneof 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.
The Basics ofSketching
•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.
Step A:
Draw anumber 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 youfeel 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 youare 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 youhave 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..

Step E:
If youhave 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..
