There's going to be a whole lot of drawing you are going to need to do if you wish to crack the entrances. {Those of you who wish to go for architecture ensure that you attend your engineering drawing classes religiously and keep focussed}. Here's the basic and what you should expect in the next few articles.
Firstly, you will need to decide your medium of drawing
This can vary from simple sketching to plastic crayons to pencil colours to wax crayons to watercolours to oil pastels. Ideally we recommend that you stick to plastic crayons or pencil colours as these are the least messy and would leave a good impression on the examiner. Moreover, a lot of exams prohibit the use of watercolours so that's a big no no. Oil pastels smudge and often cause marks on the reverse side so they should be avoided as far as possible.
Secondly, you will need the right amount of supplies
A good pencil. HB or a 2B pencil. Try to use a lead pencil for sketching. Faber castell or staedtler should do just fine. Avoid Camlin as they are pretty bad on grip. Buy a good pair of erasers that are swift and don't tear your pages. And a good set of the medium you would like to colour. For pencil colours go in for Staedtler or Faber-Castell whereas for plastic crayons go in for Camlin. Apart from this you would need a good geometry box and a ruler and obviously an art file.
Thirdly, you will need practise and loads of it.
Draw. draw and draw for at least an hour a day. Imagine a scene and put it on paper. It need not be a masterpiece but practise it's the only way to perfect your skills. Don't try and copy off the internet we'll tell you when to do that. Right now look at objects in real life and then try to recreate them on paper.
That's all for now. In the coming articles we will start from the basics and move onto more complex forms. Till then take care and stay focussed.
