Application of Freehand Sketching

Freehand sketching is an effective way for designers to communicate initial ideas, as it allows them to focus on the concept rather than drawing techniques. Sketching helps architects, engineers, and others develop designs before finalizing precise technical drawings using instruments. While sketches are preliminary, they help refine ideas and get feedback before the next stage. In contrast, instrumental drawings are the final stage and communicate the technical details to personnel who will implement the design.

Technical Drawing

Have you ever sketched? If you do what is the thing you sketched and why did you sketched
it?

Consider an Architect who wants to design a building, a Mechanical Engineer who wants to
design a machine or a machine part; an Industrial Engineer who wants to design a plant layout; how
would he/she start the design? Practically all starts and put their idea with freehand sketch.
Freehand sketching is one of the most effective ways to communicate a pictorial or verbal idea to a
workman.

Sketching may be schematic, expressing new ideas, or instructional to convey ideas to


draftsmen. After these ideas, concepts, and details for a project have been finalized, precise technical
drawings are produced using instruments so that parts may be manufactured or constructed.
Freehand sketching is preferable to draw easily and freely as hand writing, and the mind of the
sketcher would be free to concentrate upon an idea, not upon the technique of sketching the idea.

Sketching, similar to writing, is a skill that can be developed through practice. Some examples
of analytical sketches are illustrated. These represent the type of sketches you might be asked to
produce in industry or on the job site. In this unit the basic techniques of both two-dimensional
sketching and pictorial sketching are discussed.
