in the olden days when there were not a single user-friendly computer programming and digital modelling software available yet, the only friendly drawing tools and drawing materials were the fantastic classic 'tracing papers' and 'butter papers' as they used to call them. with the aid of shaver blade [Gillette Shaving Blades] everything can be drawn on tracing papers. 'srcapping' skill probably one of the 'must have' and 'important' skill to be possessed by almost every designers and architects which is as equavlent to the present 'delete' and 'copy and paste' functions of the digital drawing software tools.
to certain extent these drawings [see above] had gone through the above mentioned process: scraping and retracing or redrawn [depending how much times available before the next morning submission dates]. what was important was what the end products that you get. everything would depend on the generosity of the tutor that would evaluated them during the crit session.
but for me for these drawings that i did when i was in the 2nd. year class in UTM [University of Technology Malaysia], that i was only told by my the tutor that he could only gave me a 'passing marks' if i could count the GRASS that i had rendered on the drawing. not a surprise though, because that is what at the end of the day had tought me a lot in the process of learning architecture.
