I recall drawing a two point perspective of Queen's Street in Cardiff while at uni
with an intricate pedestrian footbridge I had designed. I ended up using a wok to draw the curves of the bridge.

How resourceful
I seem to remember finishing our Graph Comm practical exam in about 20 minutes, then having to sit for nearly 2 hours watching other people flounder around getting things wrong. Morons.

I have similar memories
it's a shame no one actually draws anything by hand these days, cos I was good at it.

We had to do it again at uni
So it was a bit dull since I already could, and also infuriating to watch other people once again fail at doing it properly.

Also, there's the issue of having to revise things so often these days
That you would lose hours of your life re-doing drawings each time, as opposed to quickly making changes to computer drawings. Especially when it's in 3D, as you can make a change to the model and it updates all of the drawings.

get out of here with your logic
and sensible points

I might try and revert wherever I end up working to doing things by hand
Although CFD simulations probably wouldn't work too well.

no, CFD is probably a little tricky for that

screw you, it's hard!

I just want to tell people what colour cushions to put in their living rooms, that's all! *more sobbing*

I make up for it with the fact that I failed my English higher
So, y'know, swings and roundabouts.
