Drawing II

OK so today we had to bring our finished cup in (see below) for marking. Turns out it wasn't for marking but just to look at, and instead it will be due next week... but at least it's done early.



And today we had to draw a perspective. But only after we watched the little presentation on perspectives. I share a bit of a love/hate relationship with perspective drawings. I was never a fan of them back in high school technical drawing because you could never use measurements to define the "depth" of your drawing. Instead you had to estimate an 'approximate' that you think looked appropriate. This part is probably the hardest thing about perspective drawings for me, to initially determine what 'looks' correct. But I do like them because they look really good when they're finally done!

This was also my first experience using trace paper. I thought it was pretty neat actually, its got a certain plastic quality to it that makes rubbing lines out really easy, and it doesn't smudge as much as cartridge paper. So yea made some progress on that in class, hopefully will finish it up sometime this week.
