Scale Figures

This is an excercise in how to proportion the human body and using correct proportions in scale figures. I have used four different scales. They are : 1/2":1', 1":1', 3/4":1', 1/4":1'



Self Portraits

These are self portraits (kinda). I don't think they look like me! I found it very difficult to stare at myself in the mirror for as long as it took to draw these.

Self portraits in graphite, warm colored pencils, cool colored pencils, and ink

Monticello/Falling Water

The class went on a field trip to Monticello and Falling Water.

These are quick sketches of both places



Bedroom

For our next project we were assigned a bedroom plan. The parameters for the room was that it must contain a bed, two night stands, two dressers, two chairs, a rug, and a bench. Additionally, there had to be two windows in the room and two doorways, one through which could be seen the hall. From the plan and using knowledge from our previous grid assignments, we blocked out a two point perspective of the room. Finally, details were added and the room was rendered.

Kitchen Plan/ Sections/Perspectives

Based on our previous assignment, we drafted a plan and two sections of a kitchen. We then used the information from the plan and sections to create a 1 point perspective and a 2 point perspective of the kitchen. The floorplan and sections had to be converted from a 1/4" scale to a 1/2" scale.

Floor Plan, Grid, and Section

For this assignment we had to convert a floorplan from ~1/4" scale to 1/2" scale, draft it in ink, and add a grid to the floor.

This is my floorplan

West section of plan

From these drawings, we made 1 point and 2 point perspective grids that we used in other projects.

Blocks in Perspective

For this assignment we had to make flat squares three dimensional and in perspective using a ground line and horizon line.
