The Sketching Process Sketching, a rough, unfinished drawing, is often done to help create a more finished image. Most people, especially artists, draw before using permanent materials such as paint to avoid mistakes. These sketches are used as guides or templates to complete the final product. Sometimes sketches are also considered works of art, such as the famous sketches of Leonardo da Vinci. Sketches are usually made with pencils or charcoal because they are not permanent and can be easily erased if mistakes are made. The main objective of this essay; An architect should draw buildings regularly because it can improve skills and promote ideas. There are many ways to draw designs, especially buildings, which can be learned easily in just a few steps. The first and most important thing to do before drawing is to get the right materials because it can be very difficult to draw using poor quality or wrong materials. Most materials used for drawing are relatively common, as you can find them in art stores and even a bookstore. H pencils are one of the necessary things for drawing. H pencils are the hardest pencils, which is why they are used for drawing thin, straight lines. H pencils are mainly used for architectural and business sketching. It is recommended to get an assortment of H pencils including 6H, 4H and 2H pencils, since 6H is the hardest and 2H is the softest. The second material is B pencils, which are the softest pencils available in stores. B pencils are used for drawing smudged and blurred lines, B pencils are also used for shading. Being the preferred choice of architects and artists for drawing, it is also recommended to leaf through details. After that start adding interior shapes and draw to scale. For example, when drawing the Petronas Towers, make sure the skywalk and shopping center are the appropriate size. Stains will appear on the paper because the lead of B pencils is soft. These stains can be erased, but one could accidentally tear off the top layer of the paper. It is recommended to use a soft eraser like putty eraser, as putty eraser will lighten the lines and not completely eradicate them. Additional details can be added until one is satisfied with one's work. Finally, to finish the sketch, lightly add a cursive signature at the bottom of the drawing. The date the sketch was completed can also be added in the signature. By adding a signature, you can proudly display your work and receive recognition, and prevent others from plagiarizing the design..
