Introduction to Drawings
2 categories, 2 picks.
Produce 6 drawings depicting the item of selection.
Progress
Students need to draw selected items and produce observational drawings with distinctive styles, and to produce and differentiate basic line drawings without renderings and sketches with shading techniques.
Taking pictures​
​
Taking proper pictures, especially for the technical drawings, were the first step to drawing good technical drawings. I've learned that pictures are not to be identically translates to drawings, but to use as a guideline, and to take pictures with good lighting for fine art drawings.
Technical Drawings​
​
I started drawing the plan view, front view and section view of the measuring tape. I learnt that technical drawings emphasise a lot on accuracy, and the ability to translate scale
Feedback from Tutor​
​
Feedbacks from my Tutor for my first draft included approval on the organic drawings, and much improvement needed for the letterings, as well as line quality.
Second Draft​
​
After correcting the minor amendments pertaining to the fonts, it was almost complete My tutor particularly liked the rendering drawing alot, as it showed the fore and back of the hollow basket. I used a series of B to 3B pencils for the fore, and a series of H to 4H pencils for the back, creating the contrast.
