oddly enough...when I did my technical drawing a level and diploma my teachers taught us to always sharpen pencils with a knife and a sanding block.

to this day I wont use a pencil sharpener!!

and when I taught my Graphics classes last year I taught my pupils exactly the same way! never sharpen a pencil with a pencil sharpener. even spent a good part of the first lesson of tech drawing showing them how to safely use a craft knife to sharpen a pencil! LOL

also taught them techniques for controlling pencil pressure and line pressure etc etc

when your doing tech drawing then pencil skills are vitally important and pencil pressure even more so....a well sharpened pencil is a must!

sounds really geeky...but there ya go.

its geeky stuff like that which is now dying out and being replaced by button pressing numpties who have no idea of the background of their design work because its all thought out for them on a computer screen.

was talking about typography to my pupils and taught them about letter spacing and line spacing and calligraphy and pica measurements.....sure they might never use any of it; but when they are sitting adding the next bit of shiny "wordart" to their comic sans poster maybe, just maybe one of them might think the letter spacing is all ****ed up! LOL!

Well I, for one, learned a lot and I will be putting it into practice.

I doubt that I will ever be accomplished enough to turn it into a business though.

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.
