HAND DRAWING IN INTERIOR DESIGN: WHY IT MATTERS

Hand drawing is very important in interior design; it does hold advantages over digital tools in many ways. This allows designers to immediately depict their ideas on paper for the purposes of brainstorming, exploring different ideas, and working out potential problems that could arise in a space before moving on to more expensive and time-consuming steps. This technique enables the designers to work out the design elements in more detail to gain a complete understanding of the scale, perspective, and light and colour play in space.

While the computer-generated images at times appear impersonal or clinical, hand-sketches have this warmth and personal touch that speaks to clients. These sketches can make for a more interactive and personal visual experience, making the process of design more accessible and relatable. Hand drawing is one of those unique skills which enhance your creative expression and pop out of the sea of digital designs; it is an important tool in building relationships with clients and engaging social media viewership.

Examples of Hand Drawing in Interior Design

Drawing was one of those skills I'd formally been taught, but it wasn't until I began to fiddle with Behind Canvas and her online courses that I actually feel I improved my skill a little. Canvas offers a range of professional classes to cover the necessary skills in such areas as: Interior Sketching in One and Two Point Perspective, Curtains & Textiles, Furniture, Quick Hand Rendering Techniques, Scale & Shadows, Floorplans, Axonometric Drawings for Beginners.

These classes enabled me to refine my technique and significantly enhance my skill in creating highly expressive, high-quality sketches.

The skills built up from Behind Canvas have been invaluable since the beginning of my interior design diploma through into my professional work. Now I can offer fast, compelling visuals to my clients that not only have been well-received but differentiate my services. In this more hands-on approach with the sketches, I can present ideas in a format that many of my clients may find quite novel and exciting; thus, assuring greater satisfaction and engagement.

Digitalization and Its Impact on Creativity

Times today lean more toward computer-generated designs, and the importance of traditional hand drawing seems to fade. However, making a quick sketch or hand-drawn illustration of the design outline shows your artistic skill and presents the clients with creative, tangible solutions for their spaces. Though high-quality hand drawings take time and practice, they are indeed a rare skill that will greatly benefit your personal growth and business.

The hand drawing in interior design is something more than a technique; it is how the depths of creativity and originality are explored and confirmed. It allows for a more personal, engaging, and authentic expression of the design idea that will be necessary in establishing any kind of designer distinction and communicating with clients.
