Sketch Assignment #8

This is definitely one of my better sketches. I have never really attempted to draw the corner of a room before. I had fun drawing the window sill and shading in the walls. I do not really like the way the space heater turned out though. I definitely feel that after finishing this sketch, I can draw rooms more accurately.

Sketch Assignment #7

I found this sketch to be very difficult. I like spending time on my sketches and adding detail. This sketch felt very rushed. I drew the floor plan and elevation on napkins. It was extremely hard to make straight lines and get things to look how I wanted them. I like being able to express an idea quickly and simply, but this felt forced and it turned out to be kind of sloppy.

Sketch Assignment #6

I think this is one of my better drawings. I like sketching in pen because then if I mess up, I know I have to figure out a way to make it work. I had a hard time drawing this and I spent a long time on it. With the exception of a few off lines, I feel that this sketch displays the overall appearance of the office chair in my room. I also discovered how much detail goes into a simple office chair.

Sketch Assignment #5

I had a difficult time drawing this negative chair. Unless you are asked to do it, most people do not choose to draw negatively like this. I have had no prior practice drawing in negative before this assignment. I had a difficult time keeping my lines straight when I was shading in. We have drawn many chairs between both design classes, and I have to say, I think this is the most interesting.

Sketch Assignment #4

For this assignment, we were asked to put emphasis on the shadows and the shading techniques when drawing fruit. I had a lot of trouble drawing bananas. They are such an irregular shape. I enjoyed exploring the contour of the fruit and making sure my shading was accurate. I also liked practicing with shading techniques such as cross hatching. 

Sketch Assignment #3

This sketch assignment was fun to draw. I liked looking at pictures of basalt columns and turtle shells. It was also interesting to think about what in nature has a tessellation pattern. I learned that a lot more things in nature have pattern then I originally thought. I also learned the importance of repetition in a pattern.

Sketch Assignment #1

I really enjoyed this assignment. I do not usually draw contours, let alone my friends. It also brought back good memories of my summer camping trip. Through this assignment, I learned that a space does not always have to be colored in and detailed to show meaning.
