This document is a student's process essay about sketching a kitchen utensil, specifically a frying pan. It describes the student's process of sketching the frying pan over 1.5 hours, including choosing the angle to sketch, using different pencils and shading techniques like cross-hatching and smooth shading. It also notes the importance of a clear mind and focus while sketching. The student felt the process was challenging but satisfying.

2. DRAFT ESSAY
What is sketching? Sketching is the term usually describes the activity of
doing quick drawing of what we see around us. They are made in the diaries
that are called “sketchbooks”. You can draw any monument, street, people or
whatever you want without thinking about a final result as it is not considered
as an artwork. Usually, a pen, a water colour and a sketchbook are used to do
sketches. Sketching is useful for my respective course, Foundation in Natural
and Built Environment. There are certain subjects that sketching is needed
such as Creative Thinking Skill, Element of Natural and Built Environment,
Constructed Landscape and Introduction to Drawing. I think Introduction to
Drawing is the main subject that we have to put a lot of afford to learn and to
know more about different kind of drawing. Moreover, my process essay is
about the usual thing that can only use in the kitchen. So, this is going to be
about a kitchen utensil.
First, I have chosen a specific kitchen utensil named frying pan. Everyone
has their five senses that consist of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. But
there are two senses that can be used in describing the kitchen utensil, frying
pan. We can only see, touch and feel the frying pan but not taste and smell it
because the frying pan has no specific taste or smell. From my point of view,
the frying pan has a round flat-bottomed surface and a long black handle while
its surface is slightly rougher in touch. Furthermore, there is a difference
between a heated and an unheated frying pan. Meanwhile, the frying pan is a
great cooking tool in the kitchen because the handle of the frying pan does not
conduct heat. On the other hand, a flat-bottomed frying pan is easily used in
frying, searing, and browning foods in our everyday life while we cook. I am
very sure that it is quite hard for humans to not use the frying pan while
cooking especially those who often cook their own meals at home. I chose this
kitchen utensil because without a frying pan, we could not fry a perfect sunny
side up, over easy egg or even a scrambled egg. So this is the reason why I
chose the frying pan.
3rd
paragraph
- Drawing tools are compulsory when you sketch, without those “professional”
drawing tools you are unable to sketch a perfect sketch.
- Shading is a part of sketching too.
- Shading is a technique that used in art to represent light and shade by
varying the colour and intensity.
- For the part shading of my sketch I used a B pencil, because a B pencil is
good for medium to light shading.
- I also used a 2B pencil for medium to dark shading. If you want the darker
shading can also use a 4B pencil, the effect will be nicer.

3. - When I sketch I need to clear the space to begin it with a peace of mind.
Because I does not like something to block my way when I am doing sketching.
I think no one likes that too.
4th
paragraph
- The shading techniques that I used for my sketch are cross hatching shading
and smooth shading.
- I used the cross hatching shading to create the effect of pressure and
overlapping.
- Smooth shading is the most common technique used for realistic drawings,
just a pressure on the areas and use finger to blend it.
- Actually I do not really need special lighting when I sketch but just the normal
will do.
- It depends on what kind of drawing, if the drawing or sketching have to based
on the lighting, I will choose the place that the lighting not too bright.
- The mistakes that i made during sketching is I cannot really sketch a perfect
sketch because my hand will shake and always create crooked line. That was
my worst distraction.
-The way how they were corrected is I keep on training myself to draw a
straight line without using a ruler.
5th
paragraph
- It took me one and the half hours to sketch a kitchen utensil.
- Why is it so long is because I had to look at every angle of the kitchen utensil
and choose the best side to sketch.
- I felt so happy and satisfying. It is quite challenging because i have not done
this kind of essay before. And yes, I definitely will do this again.

4. FINAL ESSAY
What is sketching? Sketching is the term usually describes the activity of
doing quick drawing of what we see around us. They are made in the diaries
that are called “sketchbooks”. You can draw any monument, street, people or
whatever you want without thinking about a final result as it is not considered

such as Creative Thinking Skill, Element of Natural and Built Environment,
Constructed Landscape and Introduction to Drawing. I think Introduction to
Drawing is the main subject that we have to put a lot of afford to learn and to
know more about different kind of drawing. Moreover, my process essay is
about the usual thing that can only use in the kitchen. So, this is going to be
about a kitchen utensil.
First, I have chosen a specific kitchen utensil named frying pan. Everyone
has their five senses that consist of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. But
there are two senses that can be used in describing the kitchen utensil, frying
pan. We can only see, touch and feel the frying pan but not taste and smell it
because the frying pan has no specific taste or smell. From my point of view,
the frying pan has a round flat-bottomed surface and a long black handle while
its surface is slightly rougher in touch. Furthermore, there is a difference
between a heated and an unheated frying pan. Meanwhile, the frying pan is a
great cooking tool in the kitchen because the handle of the frying pan does not
conduct heat. On the other hand, a flat-bottomed frying pan is easily used in
frying, searing, and grilling food in our everyday life while we cook. I am very
sure that it is quite hard for humans to not use the frying pan while cooking
especially those who often cook their own meals at home. I chose this kitchen
utensil because without a frying pan, we could not fry a perfect sunny side up,
over easy egg or even a scrambled egg. So this is the reason why I chose the
frying pan.
Next, drawing tools are compulsory when you sketch, without those
“professional” drawing tools you are unable to sketch a perfect sketch. Beside
that, shading is a part of sketching too. Shading is a technique that used in art
to represent light and shade by varying the colour and intensity. However, for
the part shading of my sketch I used a B pencil, because a B pencil is good for
medium to light shading. I also used a 2B pencil for medium to dark shading. If
you want the darker shading can also use a 4B pencil, the effect will be nicer.
On the other hand, when I sketch I need to clear the space to begin it with a
peace of mind. Because I does not like something to block my way when I am
doing sketching. I think no one likes that too. We must peace our mind and
focus on something that we are sketching and must have the concept in our
mind to think what and how are we going to sketch the items out.

5. Furthermore, the shading techniques that I used for my sketch are cross
hatching shading and smooth shading. I used the cross hatching shading to
create the effect of pressure and overlapping. Smooth shading is the most
common technique used for realistic drawings, just a pressure on the areas
and use finger to blend it. Actually I do not really need special lighting when I
sketch but just the normal will do. It depends on what kind of drawing, if the
drawing or sketching have to based on the lighting, I will choose the place that
the lighting not too bright. However, everyone did mistakes when they sketch,
I am not the only one. The mistakes that i made during sketching is I cannot
really sketch a perfect sketch because my hand will shake and always create
crooked line. That was my worst distraction. The way how they were corrected
is I keep on training myself to draw a straight line without using a ruler.
Lastly, it took me one and the half hours to sketch a kitchen utensil. Why is
it so long is because I had to look at every angle of the kitchen utensil and
choose the best side to sketch. In addition, I felt so happy and satisfying. It is
quite challenging because i have not done this kind of essay before. And yes, I
definitely will do this again.
