Hi everyone! I'm a complete beginner and want to start sketching. Should I start with practicing straight lines and basic shapes, or just draw freely? What's the first thing you'd recommend a total newbie to focus on? Any tips are appreciated!

What is Document Content Analysis (DCA)? It is looking at the content of the drawings that you think will be needed to describe the project. DCA allows you to make an educated guess about the number of plans, sections, elevations, and details will be needed to complete the project. In major projects this is an essential step, for domestic projects, maybe not. it allows you to calculate the number of drawings needed, the time required to create the drawings.
