Traditionally, 2D and 3D design and modelling are done using manual techniques such as sketching, hand rendering, engineering drawings and handmade physical models. These techniques can be employed in a range of disciplines including industrial design, fashion design, furniture design and architecture. They are still used widely used today, often to complement the use of digital techniques, and a competent designer will be comfortable in both the manual and digital realms. [...continues
