Practice Questions:

The room has a diwan, two wooden chairs and a hanger in which means cloth was seen hanging

Ou has just removed the over the ear headphones on you and placed next to the laptop along with your mobile phone. Draw the view (as seen by tour eyes) representing this situation.

The cat created a mess by throwing away the plate and also by spilling milk while it was busy licking the milk. Draw the scene as viewed by you when you had just entered the kitchen and near he door. Who other elements of the kitchen including the window, exhaust, stoves and other appliances like micro oven, mixer along with utensils etc

• Draw the view of a living room with tables, cupboards, antique items, phone dated back to 1950s

Best tips to quickly improve and that can fetch you more marks:

1. For any situation based question, always try to highlight the subject by making the subject focused when you draw the sketch. By focus or highlight I mean, not drawing thick or dark lines or not showing shines or flashes around the subject :P it mean the main subject under consideration shall be near to the view/sight as seen in the sketch. For example if I ask you to draw a basket full of fruits placed on top of a table, and if you end up drawing the basket with fruits, along with other stuff like say a mixer, utensils, back wall, windows, room door etc, then because the scene abs several elements, the examiner or the viewers focus shall not fall on the main subject immediately but instead moves from one object (unnecessary and point of un interest) to the other and so the viewers or the examiner might not get impressed!
2. Draw mostly the parts asked (the requirements)......I’ve been reviewing many of tour works and I’ve been seeing you draw unnecessary stuff like the background, doors, windows, objects etc. this will not only eat your time, but also make u spend less time on the actual requirement. Apart from this, like I mentioned above, the fo us will not fall on the main subject. So try to be smart.
3. My best strategy for sketching (and of course for all Part B) shall be - first understand the given question requirements, mentally imagine and plan the scene to be drawn and what needs to be included and excluded, quickly draw the outline of the scene with subject under focus by minding line quality, proportion of objects, perspective (if needed), form, and jumps to next question and start attempting them. Once you are done with all the questions, came back and gave little more details (especially to the sketching question) to make the, complete. In this way you will be in a safer side......that at least you had attempted all in a fairly acceptable way. Remember attempting only one sketch.....in a very artistic and hifi manner, by ignoring other questions is not good as compared to attempting all (or most of the) questions in a fairly acceptable manner.
4. Like I almost always mention - understand the question and try to meet the requirements 

All the best,

Bhanu.
