Publisher's Description of Complete-A-Sketch Advanced Digital Download (access card)


Advanced™ is more than just another Complete-A-Sketch, it is a launch pad to learning more than sketching. Advanced introduces advanced sketching methods, drafting concepts, orthographic, isometric, multi-view drawings, engineering concepts and more. Advanced bridges the gap between the other Complete-A-Sketch books and Practical Drafting. Advanced has been created to take advantage of the power of Acrobat® and the Internet. You now have on-demand access to 37 sketch projects, 8 3D paper model projects, 25 bonus* projects, and much more. You also have hyperlink access to the vast world of sketching, 3D modeling, CAD and more. Advanced is about learning and exploring. Explore the hyperlinks in the PDF and explore the bonus CAD files and technologies linked to from the download. The CAD models and images offer both native and neutral formats so you can see images of the files, download programs that will allow you to view and/or view and explore the provided files. The download has many tips and information in the zipped files in the form of .TXT files. Like Complete-A-Sketch 123, it is about discovery. Created by Mel Peterman, Clay Peterman, and Ian Peterman.

  • (37) - Advanced Sketch Projects
  • (8) - 3D Paper Models
  • (25) - Bonus Projects
  • Over 100 files to explore related to CAD technologies


Project Requirements:
For best results some projects will require the use of some simple drafting related tools: straight edge, French curve or flexible curve.

Category Description for Drafting Sketchbooks from Insight Technical Education

Insight Technical Education has come up with a unique approach to technical art. Technical art manifests itself as drafting and computer-aided design. The author, Mel Peterman, has spent years doing drafting and CAD work in architecture, piping and electrical blueprints, and machinery design. Mel's idea is to give students the foundational work of doing technical drawing manually so that they may have a better "feel" and "style" when progressing to CAD programs.

The Complete-A-Sketch books should be the first books used. Mel's approach is very much "hands-on" - after a brief explanation of orthographic projections, isometric projections, and perspectives, it's drawing, drawing, drawing. But the drawing technique is easy to follow - easy enough, he even suggests starting Complete-A-Sketch with 4-6 year-olds! For each exercise, a small version of the object is shown, then the large version has all the corners and intersections filled in. The student connects all of the lines to complete the object. The objects get more detailed as you go. This volume "bridges the gap" between Complete-A-Sketch Vol. 3 and Practical Drafting, by teaching advanced technical sketching and also introducing drafting concepts and CAD. It includes 37 sketching projects, eight 3-D paper models to build and 25 bonus projects. Unlike the other volumes in the series, this one is on .pdf format on CD, so you can print pages for consumption.

Once you have completed the Complete-A-Sketch books, you are ready for Practical Drafting (recommended for Jr. High and up). The author asks that the student do each exercise both manually and using CAD software. To complete the project manually, the student will need some additional supplies. Of course, to complete the project on a computer, you will need some type of CAD program for your computer.

The last item is more free-form. Practical Graphic Design deals with page layout and design techniques for print projects. Points of discussion include margins, text columns, headers, footers, mastheads, headlines, subheads, captions, graphic objects and white space.

This program would be a good way to test the waters to see if your student in interested in engineering or technical art.
