What is sketching

 No good looking sketches,
Dancing house, Prague (Frank gehry)
focus is on speed and idea generation
Maxxi Museum, Italy (Zaha hadid)

Port huron Museum, Michigan USA (Fernando Walt Disney concert hall, Florida (Frank Gehry)
Romero)
• Easy and quick

• Ideal way to speed up sketches

PRODUCT
• Easy to show contours

• Quick freehand drawing

SKETCHING

SIDE VIEW / ELEVATION

Overlaps

Working on color layers

TOPO
TOPOKARLE
But sketching aati hi nahi hai

YAAR!
Pencil pakdi hi nahi kabhi

Dabba tak nahi banaya maine aajtak… Toh kya karein?

 UNDERLAYS

• Speeds up the process

• Gives realistic sense of proportions, volume and size

• Comparison
Topo nahi aata toh

Kuchh toh seekh le bhai.com

 • Very attractive outcome

• Can play with light and shadow

• Illusion

• Less effort (for aalsi people like me)

COLORED BACKGROUND
 • Transparency, reflection, distortion

• Where light is reflected- Less transparency

• Objects/surroundings seen through glass will always

appear faint

SKETCHING GLASS
 • Suggestion of transparency

• Gives depth

• Easier than perspective

• Gives an idea of distance from

background

Adding depth in displays through drop

shadow DROP SHADOWS
• Use of light and shadow to define
the volume and mass of the
product

• Sunlight is the preferred choice of

light- reliable drop shadows
VANISHING POINT 1

VANISHING POINT 2

PERSPECTIVE
 SCALE

• Comparison

• Over or below eye level- defines the

viewpoint
 VIEW POINT

• Design need more than one view

• Choice of according to details

• Side view is most informative mostly

 Convergence

Less Convergence Ellipse distortion due to convergence

Ideal Scenario

Convergence interprets
scale
Foreshortening
• Good for human related size • Exaggeration

• Can also be derived from bird’s view • Unusual viewpoint

• Vertical lengths stay intact • Surface of ground equals the horizon

• Introduction of third vanishing point- Convergence

Eye level perspective Extreme perspective

 Aerial Perspective

• Color values are important

• Gives depth

• Warm colors are considered being closer, cool shades; far.

• Greater contrast- closer object

Simplifying the shape
 Giving a little curve when joining
shapes

First ellipse is drawn then

Vertical lines of cylinder after that rest
of the shape

Perspective should be maintained

while joining two shapes
Drawing along axial
lines

Merging complicated shapes

 Multiple - Rounding in more than one direction, 3D

• Singular- Rounding in one direction only

• Simple

Rounding

Instructional drawings
SKETCHING EMITTING LIGHT
Sketching soft light

• Bright areas but less than bulb or tube light

• Saturated colors: Blue, Green, Grey
• Use of drop shadow in led
• Shine around screen
Introducing human context: More convincing
