This reminds me of the great pleasure I got from technical drawing at school.

Reminds me of the movie the great arch where the main lead who was an architect refused to use computer simulations.

I teach digital art and am also a painter. When I was a student I loved filling sketchbooks with drawings - like a collection of ideas. To a large degree my web bookmarks and screen grab library have taken over this function. That being said, if I want to quickly communicate visual ideas to students or craftsmen I much prefer a paper and pencil. It feels so much more nuanced, comfortable and expressive.

I've taught digital art classes too. I was pleasantly surprised at a writing assignment where most students (un-prompted) turned in a hand-written response.

Fantastic article! Reminded me of my favorite engineering drawing class from the undergrad days.

I ended up dropping my drawing class because I kept getting docked points for my handwriting no matter how much I practiced. I think I was on track for a B or C.

It’s nice to see something on HN that isn’t about writing a prompt so that you can pretend to work.
