One Point Perspective Drawing

One point perspective is the easiest type of perspective drawing, I think. This is also one of my favorite outcomes because it is more simple than the other perspective drawings, but it still fully captures the image. it portrays a busy city with a long street full of cars and buildings alining it. I refrained from drawing people on the sidewalks because i felt it distracted the viewer from the one point qualities.

Two Point Perspective Drawing

This is an example of a two point perspective drawing. It is an image of the inside of a fancy hotel lobby, continuing my theme of "city life" with my four drawings. At first, it was hard for me to figure out where the two points were and it this picture was actually a two point photo. But indeed it is and it was one of the less challenging concepts for me to understand. I feel the outcome was almost exactly similar to the picture, with exceptions of people and pieces of furniture not being drawn.

Shadow Drawing using pen only

This was an exercise with practicing how to draw shadows on objects. The image I chose was a lamp and part of a couch. Out of all drawing techniques we recently learned, (point point, two point and three point perspective), shadow drawing was definitely the most difficult for me to understand. 

3 Point Perspective Drawing

This is my favorite of the three perspective and the shading drawings because I feel I have really accomplished detail and a sense of a three-dimensional building. I spent a few hours recreating this building, but I am very pleased with how it turned out, so time was well worth it!

the Section Cut House on vellum with Poche

This is the final vellum paper of the Section Cut House, except for this drafting assignment, we were to poche either the landscape and surroundings or the house itself. I chose the house itself because I thought it would look better than adding poche to the inside of the house.

the Section Cut House on bond

This was the Section Cut House on bond paper. This drafting assignment was particularly challenging as we were to measure each line and increase it so that the final piece is four-times the size as the picture in "Design Drawing" book. Even though we had another house project similar to increasing its size, this house was more time consuming and difficult because of the little lines that we had to take into consideration. Measurements took a few times to get right.

Vanna Venturi House on vellum

This image was traced from bond onto vellum and I added poche to the walls.

Orthographic Projection on vellum

This is the same house except it was traced onto vellum paper. For this drafting piece, I had used poche on the landscape and had added some trees to create more of a picture feel. The writing on the bottom of the image was extra credit to practice lettering.

Orthographic Projection on bond

This piece of drafting work was more challenging than the previous work, but I feel I completed it successfully. We were to take the image from our "Design Drawing" book and measure each line and increase the size. The overall house is four-times the size in the book.

Elevation to Floor Plan on bond

This was our first drafting exercise. It was a simple elevation that we had to convert into a floor plan highlighting only walls, windows and doors. The windows and doors are lighter lines as the walls are the bolder lines. This for me was simple as I have already had experience in drafting floor plans.

Vanna Venturi House on bond

This is a more complicated floor plan with the same idea of drawing only windows, walls and doors. Walls are bolder than windows and doors, which are lighter lines. The writing on the bottom of the plan was extra credit to practice lettering.

Contour and Shading by Hatching of my studio space

This was an exercise that required drawing our cubicle in studio, highlighting the shadows created by the light shining through the window. The shading was done by hatching and clearly, at this point, I had not known about two point perspective yet!

Topography of "My House"

For this assignment, we were told to practice topography by sketching our house, however, I chose to draw my friend's house only because it was more interesting topography-wise. This house is right on the Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island. Her backyard is large as it extends steadily downward until a point when it drops steeper to the beach along the water pretty rapidly. These characteristics are represented with the topography lines: the first eight lines are the slowly steeping backyard until the ninth line which borders the end of the backyard to the steep drop of the last two topography lines against the water. Also in my topography map, I included parts of the landscape such as trees, represented as circles with angles to the center, and larger bushes. I also decided to shade in the house and leave the land white because I felt it would allow the trees and bushes to stand out more in this example.
