Told you there would be drawings

I did mention I had some drawings I wanted to post.. these I did a few weeks ago during the spring holiday.. however I kept forgetting to put them on here.. I didnt do alot of drawing as I had hoped to.. I was catching up on my sleep... but here for you pleasure

not much to say about this one, I opened up deviant art and looked at some peoples photographs and then drew from those.. I chose some places in London, I believe the second one is Waterloo Station, but I cannot be certain.

Knowing that I needed to practice drawing people I set out to work on this. And actually, I think I might actually be getting something going.. no faces yet I'm afraid but they do look like people dont they!

Well thats all for now, be on the look out for the perspective assignments I'll be posting just as soon as I get them done, and they'll be in color too so thats something new.

-Cheers

Bizarre Beds

One of those capsule hotel


Traditional Sleeping style on the floor


Some people can stand to sleep upside down, although that seems risky to me


Modern Airplanes have been putting beds into First Class Cabins


This is called a cocoon bed and frankly, I want one, it looks like a big hammock waiting to be slept in..

Coming Soon, drawings...

So it was my intention to post up some new drawings of mine today, however my scanner has decided that it wanted to take a permanent vacation and has broken itself.. and as lazy as it sounds, studio is to far away for me to walk to right now, so until I can find a new scanner, or walk over to studio, you'll just have to deal with the suspense of something new being posted... So prepare yourselves it is coming!

Cairo: Baths of the Diocletian

This project was a substitute for a paper turned into Patrick for our Design History Lecture. We looked at the Diocletian Baths in rome and did a precedent study of the building.

Bottle Caps! everywhere

So we had a nice week long project now that we have finished our fruit pattern projects. This project was to design something that made use of the bottle caps that are very difficult to recycle.

So I teamed up with Robert who sits at the cubicle next to mine, together we both made some ideas including a plant pot, shotglass, and fishing bobbers. We brought them to our lectures Wednesday. Ultimately we decided to go with my idea of an envelope which actually stemmed from an idea I had for a coin roll. Our first model was really just a simple rolled up sheet of paper with bottle caps on the ends to seal it off.

This design posed a few problems as it really didnt protect the letter and also it seemed easy for the caps to just fall off. Therefore we took the design and tweaked it a little bit.
This caused it to change over to a protective shell made out of a sheet of thick paper that generally comes out of a shirt's packaging. This would insure a protective shell around the letter. We also added some yellow rings (also from soda bottles) so that an address label could be secured to the envelope and then it could actually be sent.

The Space Between Drawings

These drawings were present on my board however they never really made it off and onto the blog, most of them are from the outside of my assigned building foust. Why outside, well because the interior was rather bland and boring and I enjoyed the exterior well enough to do those instead. Hope you can appreciate them.


The first one of these is very chaotic in a way I can appreciate that, all those lines running around giving it contrast while keeping the form intact.

The second one not so much, mostly because its an interior shot and was in fact about 3 times the size it is now, but was eventually cropped because their just wasn't a whole lot to see.. There is a guy there, guess hes reading something good.. in the corridor.

Truth be told the only one I really even like is the last one, the first one I liked up until I did the third you see before you. The lines just look more precise in all the chaos, like a careful blending of attempted precision while still keeping a loose form to it all. The only other problem I see are my scale figure sizes, they look like children... to small to be university students, they seem better suited to an primary school than a university.

The revenge of presentation boards

Another presentation down, second one in a week, this time our lovely fruit pattern projects. I started with an apple and really just worked my way to very different architectural statement. My photographs may not be the finest quality but that was simply due to the fact that when I took them there was no space to hang them in the crit room as the next group of people were already set up with the next days presentations.

Drafting Assignments

Here are my drafting assignments which were turned in with my portfolio Wednesday

Presentation boards

Behold! the boards from all the drawings of Foust we've been working on for the past month or so.   The project was very educational beyond just technique.  Thanks to all the extra people who helped Jennifer get the boards laid out in time for the presentation I owe you so much gratitude. We couldn't have done it with out you.

The drawings will follow after I have access to a scanner that actually works, it would seem my canon one can only read about half a page before it goes and dies... but such things cannot be stopped sometimes.
