ProcessEssay(Final) Sketchingisanaction where youare doinga rough or unfinisheddrawing,oftenmade inthe helpof makinga more finishedpicture.Inmycase,as a studentthrivingtowardsQuantitySurveying the word sketchcan be similarly definedasarough drawingof what a buildingorstructure should be.Sketchingwill mostprobablybe one of the mostfrequentanduseful actionImayexperience in the future.Thisisbecause inmy future workindustry,itisusedasa communicatingtool between one partiesto the other.My lectureronce saidif youcannot explainit,sketchitout.Thiscan be portrayedwhere if one wouldwanttogive a suggestiontothe others,theywouldjustsketchwhat theywantedtosay to avoidany misunderstandings.Anyway,the processessaythatIam aboutto write ishowI experiencedproducinganattractive sketchof the kitchenutensilthatIhave chosen. Out of all variouskitchenutensils,the utensil thatIhave chosentosketchand elaborate aboutis a kitchenwhisk.Observingmymetal whisk,the thinhandle hadasemi-thickwire coiled aroundit. The bottompart had a small metal hookandthe thinwiredheadof the whiskwasshaped like awide teardrop.Tastingmywhiskwaslike tastingmetal withahintof lemontoit mostprobably fromthe dishwashingsoap.The term,tastingwhatyoucan smell wasdone whenItooka whiff of my whiskanditreallyhada metallic-lemonsmelltoit.The handle feltbumpyfromthe coiledwire and the stripsof thinwire was like touchinguncookedangel hairpasta.Droppingthe whiskonthe kitchencountermade me heara sharp metallicclinksound.The reasonIchose a whiskisbecause of itsunique shape anditsuse in boththe bakingand cookingarea. As I didmysketch,I had alreadypreparedmysimple setof pencils.AfterIhaddrawn the shape of my whisk,Istartedto getdeeperintoitbyusingthe regular2B pencil tostart on myshading.The onlypart that I shadedwere the handle,where Iusedthe 2B pencil togive a dark shadedarea.I thencontinuedtoswitchtoa B pencil fora lightershade.AsIincorporate the lightshade onto the handle,itmixedalittle withthe darkershade givingthe handle agoodrange of tone goingfrom dark to light.Throughoutmysketch,Ididnot use any type of toolsto balance itout otherthan followingmyinstinctsonhowthe sketchwouldeventuallybalance outinthe end.Before doingall this,I hadclearedmy workplace asitkeepsmymindinpeace,enablingme tostartmy sketch.
