Drawing & studies

Not projects — evidence. Industrial Design programmes assess drawing directly, so this page exists to show range and observation rather than to argue a concept.

Structural suggestion, needs a decision. This page isn't in the flat list of eight. I built it because sketching ability is assessed on its own terms by ID admissions, and there's a lot of it in the folder. Keep it, fold the best three into the home page, or drop it.
