Drawing III

Only one week left now, but things are beginning to get a little more hectic with these drawings for the main assignment. Today was pretty easy and fun, explore how you believed you wanted your presentations to be laid out, and shade in some elevations and handed in all the in-class work.

The mock-up was a bit of a mess, I used two A1 sheets to try and develop a 1:1 scale of what I wanted to do. In the end some helpful advice from Ken made it easier to develop an idea with a solid theme behind it, it made what I was trying to say a lot clearer (see below, picture is a bit hard to see though).



The elevation shading was an interesting task. For a marked assessment it looked unremarkably easy at first, but then it got more difficult considering sun position and various other factors. It made me try to build the building into a 3D form from elevations and plans and then apply the sunlight to it. I think the end result in surprisingly effective, it makes a plain looking elevation look a lot more realistic and gives it a lot of depth (see below).



That's my final drawing for the perspective as well.

Progress with the drawings for the main assignment is slow but at least existent, some people haven't even started yet!
