Designer generally demonstrates different types of drawings with help of their free hand drawings and thus tries to formulate solution for them. Sometime such drawings are not proposed for solution but to enhance further ideas about it even in 2D or 3D dimensional thinking.
Drawings for demonstration media-Once idea is produced for visual communication for clients or others, then further new drawings must be created for presentation media. Such drawings might depicts a glimpse about an idea but many times they are not final detailed accurate drawings.
