A bus for relief workers

after 44 hours of being awake continuously to finish I can say that I am satisfied with my design for the bus for relief workers that I have just finished. To aide those who dont know, I am uploading my boards so that you can share this experience. I cant really think of anything to add that isnt on the boards.. but I suppose its okay to just add the drawings were done with markers and colored pencil.

Summer Drawing

Right, I've been away now for.. A long time, a thick layer of dust has settled on my blog, but I'm back and I'm blowing all the dust away.. Now that I'm moved in to my new flat, as well as having a new scanner to scan in drawings I can finally get around to posting all the things I've been working on this summer.

First Up a Sketch of the Building I spent most of my time in, GSRB II on Duke Universities West Campus


A sketch of my once again messy desk, I did this one on a day when it was rainy and so I couldnt really bother to go out to draw unless I you know, wanted to be killed by rain.. But since I do not fancy death by rain I decided not to


Same day, rainy and dreary so I decided to draw the living room, the chair is the only thing I dont like about this drawing but ultimately I think it was to just keep me from being completely rusty when the new term began.



A friend and I decided to enter this drawing thing on a website and the first was to draw your favorite videogame character well I chose Joanna dark from the Game Perfect dark, unfortunately it looks like I did this drawing in the dark so lets just move on..

This drawing I spent 2 days on, really just 2 hours, because thats how long I had for lunch, its the building across from mine, and looks rather like mine, but thats MSRB I or II I cant recall, but it also houses the Human Vaccine Institute so go figure..



This was a drawing I did on my first day of work because they told me they didnt have anything I could do with out a computer and to occupy myself so I sat about and drew for abit...



This is one of the last drawings I did this summer as it was nearly time to move but its a co-worker of mine, hard at work.. I myself was not that hard at work but whatever..

Room Renderings

A Rendering we did in IAR 112 earlier this term

Not bad in my opinion, turned out pretty good and strikes me as being some of my best work this term.

Everyday Objects

For drawing class on Thursday we were told to draw everyday objects since our space renderings lacked well, signs of life... So I set out to draw what I could.


You have your tea kettle, quite frankly one of the most important things for a house

Your toaster, another important element to any home, for if you cant have toast with your tea what is the point?

Old timey radio, mostly just because I like how the old ones look as compared to the new ones.

Remote control, because getting up to turn anything on is just stupid..

and a phone, because well, people dont really seem to have these any more and who knows maybe one day my children will look back at this and ask me.. whats that? and I can tell an awkward story about a time when people didnt use Mobiles for everything

Colors

So I took one of my mess drawings and decided to add a little color to it and despite the scanner trying to foil my attempt the actual drawing looks quite good, not sure why the scan did not come out all that well but I figured I would share this drawing. I think I've learned to control them better the markers that is, as the bleed here is not bad, a few areas need some touching up but most part they look good. Now I suppose I should start working on my technique as the way the markers are distributing ink is very inconsistent some times. I'm not sure if it is how I'm holding it or how much pressure etc but it is really flakey.

Just as a comparison for you

Also on a side note as on Thursday I was admitted to the University of Nottingham Architecture Program. I also received a request from Cardiff School of Design for a portfolio so look in the near future for that.

A Messy place

So we had to draw a mess as our first assignment for IAR 112. I like this drawing and I cant wait to do more, the layers were really fun and despite mine not being the messiest it was still a good challenge to draw.


I took my Chartpak markers later on and added some color. the bleed on these markers is really bad but all and all I still like the addition of color as it gives it more depth and character, maybe its just me. I have not been scared away from these markers yet!

-Cheers!
