This is my first attempt at every doing architecture drawings, I found this challenging but fun at the same time. The weather outside made it too cold to  draw outside so I decide to draw them from the inside. The one place where I did most of my drawings was at the Waterstones cafe which provided the perfect angles because it was on the third floor.  I am happy with the drawings but I think I can do better and I need to learn to apply depth to when drawings. The drawings on the Japanese house and Pizza express I'm really thrilled with because this was further in the day and was starting to get the hang of the depth of the scenery and the ink washes also helped. But this does not mean that I should not stop practicing.           

Week two Advance drawings ellipses

This week was about getting the sense of the shape of the objects, the depth and outlines.

A little party, Materials: Charcoal and ink 

The outlines of everyday objects, Materials: Ink

Glasses, material: pencil 

Lamps and plants at campus, Materials: Brush pen and fine liner

Costa, Materials: Fine liner and brush pen

People and the tree, Material: Fine Liner

with this assignment, I had fun but I think with some of the drawings I should have taken a bit more time with them for example the people from "people and the tree". I rushed and with that I punished myself with incorrect anatomy. But for my next drawings take my time. But I did like just creating the outline of the people and objects because it easily describes the object. I think if I want to create a simple outline drawing go for the brush pen because it creates the perfect sharp outlines that I think are ideal. With the charcoal drawings I am very happy with the outcome because it got the sense that it has become a 3D object but I think to make it better I need to practice more on my shading skills. With the ink drawings again I think it creates the same effect as the brush pen which is what I am after if I ever want a simple line drawing.  

Week one Advance drawings/ sequential illustration

I went out and found objects that appealed  to me. I design observational drawings and then designed them in three different style of Decorative, surreal and simplistic.

A Spanish dancing doll that is armless. I found it in the studio and instant wanted to draw it.

The media that I used was a sketch out of pencil, so that I had something to follow. I then proceed to fine line the outline of the drawing. I then used a red ink to create the red dress. Then I overlaid it with gold ink and a black brush pen for the lace. I also went over it again with fine liner to add shade into the dress. The skin was done in pro markers so was the hat. The final touch was adding a little bit of light, which was done in a white gel pen.

This is a hairbrush from my room. I chose this because I wanted to try out lighting on a dark object. For the brush drawing creation I used ink crayons, a water brush pen, white gel pen and a red pro marker. I found out that using the crayons were easy for shying because I simply just had to apply more strokes of the crayon. I then had to create the red bit in the middle which again was the same process from before. But for the rec dots, I had to use a white gel pen on top because I want to add depth to hairbrush and the red pro markers did not come through the black.

This is a plant from my room.  I want to draw this because of the lighting from my window. Which created the perfect shading scale for shading. this was created with crayons and it was simple gone over and over again to created the sense of depth and shade.

This is a piece of clockwork that I found in the studio and again, I had to draw it. This was created in photoshop, I first created a light drawing to follow and then used coloured in the sections. I created the metal texture by using gradient and noise.

Overall

First week of work Advance Drawings

This week we had to draw everyday objects. This was to get the sense of shape from the objects.

Bike basket, Material: pencil   

Chair, Material: Pro markers

Dried flowers, Material: pencil

Dried flowers, Pencil, Materials: brush pen and fine liner  

Clockwork piece, Material: Brush pen

Clockwork piece two, Material: Brush pen 

Lamp, Material: Brush pen 

Lamp Sigil, Material: Brush pen 

Headphones, Material: Fine liner 

Take away coffee, Material: Pro marker 

Dried Mushroom, Material: Brush pen 

Bin, Material: Fine liner  

With these drawings I wish that I could improve them such as adding depth to the image such as the mushroom because it feels 2d when I want to make it 3D. To improve this work I will work with a material that are more ideal for making 3D drawings such as a fine liner which isn't waterproof so  can get a wash of black that can darken with a simple layering on top of the wash. Also use a water brush pen when using a fine liner.  With the pro Marker I was happy with the outcome because it showed the different shades but I think next time I will use it more lightly so start with the lightest to the darkest by again simply layering up. with the ink brush pen it worked well when I want to create simply outlines of the objects but I think next time when using it, use it as a shading material, not a outlining tool. The final material that I used was a pencil, I think when it comes to using pencil uses the right ones for shading and I should take my time with it.

The notes on the drawing are good when it comes to trying to remember the object, I think uses in future drawings.
