Drawing Techniques

COLOURING TECHNIQUESPENCILS2H pencils - Use ordinary pencils to draw and sketch.Colouring pencils - Use pencils to colour drawings and to draw the outline of designs.CARDOverlays/backing - Use card on top of card, you could glue together two different pieces of card and then place a design brief or something similar on the top. The card will be a backing.Colour placed on card - Try shading card with a coloured pencil, use a dark colour of card and shade it with a light shade of pencil. Use the result to back text/writing.Composite drawings - See the examples in class. Drawings constructed from different colours of card can be quite striking.FELT PENS

draw designs that are ‘in bits’, or ‘taken apart’ so that all the parts of the design can be seen easily.Sectioned views - Draw a sectional view of an idea or solution.Working Drawing - draw the front. side and plan elevations of the final solution.Use a range of lettering stylesAlways add plenty of notes to all your drawings / pictures, including collected research.Dynamic presentations - produce drawings that have parts that move e.g. ‘pop-up card’ designs or parts that rotate.Modelling - produce models of selected designs.Produce a final model of your chosen solution. This must look realistic and be well made.
