The document is a process essay describing the steps taken to sketch a kitchen blender. It discusses using various pencil grades to first sketch the shape, then trace the outline and shade the sketch. The process includes marking light and dark areas, rubbing shading with a finger, and using a pen to outline the sketch. The essay concludes by reflecting on the 2 hours spent sketching and what was learned from the process of creating the sketch and writing the essay.

Feeling happy and sad because of the process essayis
coming
2hours sketching
Learn many things through the sketching and process writing
3. According to the Oxford dictionary, sketching means that the
process ofmaking a rough or unfinished drawing or painting. As
for me, sketching is part of my life and it means everything to me.
In the other words, I just cannot live without sketching. Here is a
question, is it possible that we can communicate with others
without writing or speaking? The answer is yes, it is possibleas
sketching can be the fastest way to express the idea to others. For
example, an architect communicates with their client by sketching
even they do not have to meetup. Moreover, sketching is an
easier way for people to understand what you are trying to express
compared to a long wordy paragraph. Majority of my courses,
Foundation in Natural and Built Environment, are using sketches
for presentation and description.By the way, I was instructed by
my English 1 lecturer, Ms. Cassandra, to composea process
essay writing. This processessayis mainly regarding the steps
that involved in producing an attractive sketch of my kitchen utensil.
Among so many kitchen utensil, the one that i had chosen is
blender. By using my five senses,I can see that the blender split
into 3 parts, first is the cover, followed by the container and lastly is
the machine. Besides,there are also four blades at the bottom of
the container and it is powered by the electric motor at the base.
The combination of the sound roar and buzz are produced when
there is a blending process.In terms of the smell, it is actually
odourless. Additionally, fruit juices that blended by the blenderare
tasty and ‘sandy’ as there are some pomaces in the juice. The
functions of the blenderare to slice and dice foods into smaller
pieces,create emulsions, mix liquids and foods and to make
smoothpurees. In short, the reason why I am choosing the blender
is because it is convenient for everyone to use, user-friendly and
has multifunction.
As everyone knows, there are some essential drawing tools
to be used in sketching, but what are they? Generally, the drawing
tools that I use for sketching are pencils,erasers and fingers.
Normally, pen is unsuitable and is not recommendedto use for
sketching because it is inerasable, yet, I am still using it to draw
the outline of my drawing. Nevertheless,there are two types of
pencils in differentgrades which are grade H and grade B. The
lead and the ink of grade H pencil are harder and lighter compared
to grade B pencil. In my piece of sketching work of the blender, I
4. was using 2B pencil as has a suitable hardness and the darkness
colour for shading. Additionally, I preferred a tidy table for
sketching instead of a messytable.
Last but not least, I use my own style for sketching every
object. The first step that I used was sketching the shapes of the
blenderby using pencil. Subsequently, I used a pencil with darker
colour to trace the outline of the blenderand the next step was to
shade the whole diagram with the same darkness. Then, I marked
‘x’ at the part that is exposed to the light. As for the shaded part, I
just shade harder to make it darken. After that, I used my finger to
rub off the shaded region to balance up the darkness of the whole
diagram. Lastly, I used a black pen to contour the whole outline of
the blender. Besides,everyone makes mistakes, but there are
plenty ways to solve it. In my own conceit, if I make mistakes, I will
just redo everything rather than erasing the small part carefully as
sometimesit will ruin everything that i have just sketched.
As a conclusion, I feel like I am in the seventh heaven when
I finally completed the sketching but then I felt from heaven to the
hell in the couple minute because there is a process essayis
waiting for me to complete.It took me 2 hours to complete the
whole sketching as I shown below. Moreover, for the question
“would you do this again?” Honestly, from my point of view, I think
every one of us will not want to do this again. However, after
conducting this assignment, I had learnt how to write a process
essay and I think it is useful for me in the future.
