Answer different types of online quiz questions: multiple choice, true or false, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, matching, visual questions and a survey reflection.
What to remember
Free-hand sketching means drawing without measuring instruments such as rulers or compasses. It relies on the hand, eye, pencil control and regular practice.
Principles: proportion, perspective, line quality, form, shading and composition.
Techniques: box method, centerline method, hand compass, cross-hatching, stippling and blending.
Lines: horizontal, vertical and diagonal.
2D shapes: square, rectangle, triangle and circle.
