Definition of sketching is a simply or speedily executed drawing, especially a

basic one and giving the essential features without the details. Sketching is an

advantage to Architecture students and Quantity Surveyor students as well. Even

though sketching is not the part of it but yet related. However, sketching is one of the

medium for communication to one and another. Besides that, the imaginative

quantity of sketching can make adjustment. Most are not specially organized or

accurate, they can be messy! In the other hand, we need others to figure out what we

are talking about and having the same opinion. So, sketching is a typical way for us

to express the concept to others. And my process essay is about kitchen utensil,

what kitchen utensil I have chosen and why did I selected this utensil.

First, the kitchen utensil that I have chosen can be called can opener or we

can called it as tin opener as well. I have selected can opener as my kitchen utensil

for English process essay. At the same time, when I first step into my kitchen, I

noticed a can opener on the dining table and for the first time I saw this utensil, it is

very special due to its shape and the entire tool is made up of metal. So, this is the

reason why I chose the can opener as my kitchen utensil. Next, when I feel this

utensil it felt a little bit of coolness and it is comfortable to handle. In addition, I use it

to open a tin and sound produced when two metal friction in contact and as a result,

it will produce a slightly higher temperature. This utensil used in our everyday life and

allows us to open tins and cans easily with less effort. This equipment have a lot of

function in just one utensil, in fact I would like to know more about how does this

kitchen utensil works.

Secondly, the shading process, which is also part of the sketch. It represents

the different values of colour in light or dark. Furthermore, shade darkness into a

drawing in order to provide shadow and light and also the colour effect. In an object,

especially to create the illusion of three-dimensionality which are length, depth and

width. During sketching, I used different type of pencil and stationery to sketch and to

shade such HB, 2B, 0.5mm HB sharp pencil, sharpener and eraser. However, HB

pencil is a hardness pencil because it allows us to draw and sketch perfectly and also

a good type of pencil for shading. Beside this, a sharp pencil is also known as a

drawing tools in technical drawing and architecture. In addition, I use other tools to

achieve the balance as well such as tissue paper and my finger to make the contrast

of shadow. Yes, I need to clear my workspace to begin my sketching with peace of

mind, I sketched my drawing at the library and it is a nice environment to think and

sketch.

Therefore, when I sketched my kitchen utensil and there are a lot of complex

styles of drawing and shading due to this utensil have a lot of tiny details. Sketching

does not have to be perfect. Sketching in the first time and it does make a lot of

mistakes. No worries! If mistakes made then use an eraser rub it off and draw it over

and over again. Sketching is the fun way and also the easiest way to express a thing.

Finally, this process of sketching took me about two hours to finished because

I have to find the best lightning to sketch, shade and draw my kitchen utensil. And I

do re-draw it again for a better looking. When I reached the finalization, I felt very

happy and satisfied. The important thing is that I have learned more about this

kitchen utensil and other different kind of utensil about what are these utensil used

for and how are they being used. I would do this again because this assignment gave

me a lot of chances to understand all about varieties of kitchen utensil and it also

help me to improve my drawings.
