  • Visualize and draw the effects of light on object and shadows it cast on surroundings
  • Ability to give perspective to drawing
  • Draw buildings and other structures in three dimension
  • Create interesting two dimensional composition using given shapes and forms;
  • Construct visually harmonious sketch using colours
  • The candidate’s grasp of scale and proportions
  • Ability to draw pencil sketch of any random daily experience from memory.
