《SKETCHING(THE BASICS)(精)》(本社):Design sketching is embedded in a process involving many colourful aspects, The field of sketching is both lively and changing, and the importance of drawing in relation to the design process is considerable. Designers need to express their thoughts and ideas in context-driven drawings and sketches. That demands the skill to draw efficiently and with an awareness of the function served by the drawings and of their legibility. We think these skills can be acquired.
