    Sketching, also known as freehand drawing, is the fundamental building block of art that involves drawing using only eye and hand coordination without tools. It develops important skills like observation, proportion, and shading through practice over time. The basic materials needed for sketching include pencils of varying hardness, charcoal sticks and pencils, erasers, and sometimes pens or knives. Key techniques involve sketching lines, arcs, and circles using light construction lines and varying line thicknesses. Regular practice is emphasized as essential to becoming a good sketcher.

    SKETCHING

    Ms. Janice Magbujos-Florida


    Instructor I
    Sketching
    also known as freehand
    drawing

    is the fundamental building block


    of a talented artist.
    is a form of
    drawing
    which is done
    only by
    means of eye
    and hand
    coordination.
    In simple terms, freehand
    drawing is done by a
    person without use of any
    tools like rulers, protractor,
    etc. or using tracing or
    other technique.
    Many people who enjoy
    drawing as a hobby use this
    technique of drawing, just
    carrying a sketchbook and
    pencils and sketching any
    subjects they like.
    If a person asks you, looking
    at a drawing 'did you do it
    freehand?',

    It means that did you do


    this drawing without the use
    of any tools or mechanical
    devices.
    It hones your observational
    skills; helps you to keep your
    style current, by allowing you
    to continue developing; and
    gives you a source of images
    that can eventually end up in
    your finished work.
    To express how one feels without a
    subject is deeply personal and as the
    way someone free hand draws is a
    way to express their life everything
    they have done through out their life
    has shape their style and subject of
    free hand drawing to express their
    self with only what they see in their
    minds can have a impact on people
    lives free hand drawing can show
    skills and craftsmanship in drawing
    without other methods of drawing
    For freehand sketching one
    needs to have good
    observation skills, good sense
    of proportions, a smooth
    motion of hand that allows to
    draw neat lines, and to give
    the drawing more depth some
    shading skills. These skill take
    time, patience and practice.
    Sketching Materials
    A : The simple and most universal toll of
    the artist is the pencil. It is very
    versatile. It ranges from very hard to
    very soft and black (HB, B, 2B, 4B, 6B
    etc.) and there are different thickness.
    At least you must have three degrees of
    blackness, such as HB (average
    hardness and blackness), 2B (soft and
    black), 4B (very soft and black). Try to
    avoid H series pencils (eg: H, 2H, 3H,
    4H). H serious are only used for
    engineering drawings. They wont be
    suitable for portraits and fine arts
    B : Charcoal stick - Sticks are more
    versatile then pencil because they
    are very easy to produce dimensional
    images on toned paper.

    C : Charcoal pencil - Charcoal pencil in


    black, grey and white are excellent. A
    variety of grads are available namely
    Hard, Neutral, Soft. Hard is used for
    lighter tone, Neutral is used for
    middle tone and soft is used for
    darker tone.
    D : Marker and Ballpoint Pen - Ball pens
    are some times used to give strokes.
    Black color is preferable. Also some
    more variety of pen are available, fine
    nib push pen, fine line pen.

    E : Craft knife or Cutter - used to


    sharpen pencils and charcoal. A normal
    hand-held sharpeners won't always
    take the thickness of lead in charcoal
    pencils and graphite pencils. Cutter will
    give a very good pint
    F : Pencils - It ranges from very hard
    to very soft and black (H, HB, B,
    2B, etc.) and there are different
    thickness.

    G : Geometric compass - used to put


    circles.

    H: Pro circles - used to put circles


    and curves as same as compass.
    I : Pencil Sharpener - used
    to sharpen pencils.

    J : Non dust eraser. This


    will help in preserving
    the paper.
    Technique of Lines
    The chief difference
    between a mechanical
    drawing and a freehand
    sketch, lies in the
    technique of the lines.
    Mechanical Line

    Freehand Line
    A good instrumental line is
    drawn rigidly straight and
    exactly uniform while that
    of freehand line is drawn
    with freedom and variety.
    The freehand construction line is a
    very light rough line wherein some
    of the strokes may overlap and all
    other lines should be dark and
    clean-cut. Ends of the dashes are
    accented and sharp contrasts
    between line thicknesses are
    maintained. All visible lines are
    drawn heavy so the outline will
    stand out clearly and make hidden,
    center lines, and extension lines
    thin.
