SUBMISSION DATE: 11th MAY 2015

Sketching is a rough,unfinished drawing or painting,often made to assist in making a more finished picture.Most of the time,people keep on complaining about their drawing skill as they can’t draw.But,Everybody can sketch as long as you show your idea out by a pen or pencil even a sketching with a stick on a sand field.Sketching is hard but very useful.For example,it can help me to communicate with my friends or teachers. Sketching has become a part of my life.This process essay is about how to sketch a well known kitchen utensil.

Multi pressure cooker,good looking and tons of function.I choose it as my kitchen utensil but this is not the reasons I choose. It looks like a traditional rice cooker only.This pressure cooker’s metal side have a golden shiny colour.The container pot inside the pressure cooker is better than traditional rice cooker.It huge,stainless and the most interesting function is it not leave any mark after u cook or fried foods.It is an easy wash container pot.Beside,it got plastic surface on the lid,handle and lower part of the pressure cooker. The uncommon function is the point to let me choose it.It is about as idiot-proof as you can get.In addition,there’s a mode switch so you can cook or bake breads without a liquid.Just press the button you want to and turn the pressure valve to that mode.So in usability term,this pressure cooker aces it.It’s “helpful”pressure cooker too.For instance, my mother need to steam or re-heat the soup or meals.Just choose a function,press the button and just wait for the timer count down.Save your time to take care the meals and soup.You will not lose than any chief after use this pressure cooker because it have acceptable taste and good smell.

So,I needed to sketch the multi pressure cooker is an assignment given by my lecturer. First of all,I used 2B and HB pencil for my initial sketching.It’s because HB pencil conveniences me by cleaning the lines or pictures I drew previously without leaving any mark on the paper.And for 2B pencil it’s very useful as when I imagine and related to the ideas.I used few tools to achieve balance.Example,I used the ruler drew a line to make sure my picture will not be over the length.Other than that,I used ruler drew my rectangle too.I would like have a workspace with amazing view such as garden to free myself from self by touching with the nature.However,that was impossible for an architect students.Architect students’ workspace is all messy and dirty.Beside,it’s a good “news” too.It’s is because the messier workshop they have, more ideas will pop out in their head.So,i ignored the environment of the workplace by listen music

Sketching is not about idea only.We need to have more complex styles of shading and drawing.After finished my pre-design,I used an Art line calligraphy pen to draw the outline.Those pen could create a more reality picture.So-called ”Practice make prefect”,such a meaningful sentence.I made the mistake for several time and the way I corrected my mistake was repeating.So,I keep practiced and repeated doing the same work the lecturer gave so.Thus,I am able to draw better than before.

In the nutshell,I’m happy about my drawing.To be honest,I’m a poor artist and I admitted and accepted the fact.I used 1-2 hours to finish my work and it wasted my time.That why,I want to practice more and save my time on easer.By overcoming my weakness,I need to use 1-2 hours to improve my drawing by seeking advise from my friends.Moreover,I still could not satisfy what I drew.Therefore,I can draw better than before because i used several times to improve my sketching skill. Although, It gave me the hard time,but I was happy and feel relax once I completed it. I will try my best in future and start form a new page to wait for the challenge.
