Hearing that, Practicing Your Scales, kind of brings back those horrible memories of eternal piano lessons doesn't it? Don't worry. We're not even going to come close to touching on that with a 25' tape measure!! However, there is a little wisdom to be gained in that question.

As we prepare to move our designs from a flat 2D existence into the 3D world, we have to stop and take some time to practice our scales. Just like any aspect of the craft, we need to practice these fundamentals in order to grow and progress in our design vocabulary. Now let’s look at some basics to help us make this flat pencil drawing come to life!

These simple, yet often overlooked, aids can really help eliminate a lot of the guesswork during the initial stages of design.
