5. One Point Perspective

This week's visual diary task is reagarding one point perspective. We were taught to identify the Horizontal Line, Ground Line and Vanishing point. Here are five images.

Here is a kitchen

Here is a bedroom

Here is a bedroom

Here is a bedroom

Here is a living room.

All these images has one point perspective. I find that images or presentations with a clear 'tunnel' effect would look better in one point perspective. If there were many pieces of furniture in the middle, one point perspective would not be able to showcase the room well. 

4. Plan Drawing

This week is a lil more challenging than usual. For me it was the decision making process and having confidence in my decision. We learned about symbols and dimensions of day to day furniture. Who knew drawing a plan of a house needed so much research! I suppose there isn't a major wrong answer because even standard sizes of toilet bowls vary from country to country. Here's our assignment.

Above is the sketch of plans of 2 places. No rulers and erasers. Hope it's fine.

3. Orthographic Projections and Symbols

This time round, we were taught about orthographic projections and symbols. It's much more tedious than you think but I think tasks like these is just a matter of getting used to. Personally, for the orthographic tasks, I felt like I had to be very careful. Here we go.

2. Tonal Value

This assignment is all about tonal values through different rendering techniques. There are, hatching, cross-hatching, scribbling and stippling. Here's the assignment. (Hope you don't mind the kitten paw)

Hatching and Cross-hatching

Scribbling and Stippling

I personally really enjoy hatching and cross-hatching as I feel that different stroke directions were able to highlight the different contours of a surface.

Till the next one!

1. Sketchbook Cover

Here's to a new beginning. This means, new sketchbook.

For the first task, we are required to purchase and decorate our sketchbook. This marks the beginning of our Design Communication class.

Looking forward to it!
