QUICK Random Drawings from 9am

SHOES done at a later date.

A classmate...

My trustee Jansport. (carries me through my day)

First off, feet, by no means are my favorite part of the human contour. Given the time alloted with this exercise i wish i had focused it on fewer because of the lack of detail most of these portray. 

Various line drawings of leaves

ORTHOGRAPHIC FRUIT DRAWINGS

Our assignment was to go out and bring a fruit or vegetable to class, I choose a green pepper. First we drew regular elevations (front, back, right, left, plan, bottom). After this, I cut the pepper in half in did detail views of it, one it pen and one in pencil with shading.

JOINERY

Initial ideas for the box with one open end...dovetail joints were an intitial possibility. This sketch shows some of the process of where I started at. 

The sketchbook doodle that emulates my final model.

Our assignment for my environmental design class was to suspend a bristol board cube (with one open end) four inches above an 8x8 base, using joinery for both aspects. After experimenting with a dovetail joint of sorts before actually constructing the box I realized that bristol board is a bit too thin of a material to join the edges together. I was inspired by a box that had no gradual change in the inflated box joint that you can see on my final model's edges. I thought that bringing varying sizes of straws in a repeated pattern that gradually got smaller for the cube's support would tie the two objects together in an example to joinery. 

Blooming Container

 

Containing a precious object. i choose to make a jewelry box for a ring my uncle gave me once upon a time. In my eyes though, jewerly boxes typically conceal where as my creation reveals the ring. It is a spruced up japanese star box, adorned with a rose-like pedestal a similar color to the pink topaz for the ring to sit, and gold-accented paper garnished with vines that reminded me of the wiring of the ring. Below is my sketchbook doodles, its a mix of my ideas, a little bit of material I used and thoughts behind why the jewelry box looks as you see it now.

Foust Building

Below is my sketch of the Foust building at UNCG. 

 Lesson learned indeed. I will most defintely draw darker in the future.

CONTOURS OF SORTS

• BLIND CONTOUR
• REGULAR CONTOUR

What a difference peaking at your paper every once awhile can produce.

Joining

Above lies my first Environmental Design project. The assignment instructed to bind together two natural artifacts with a linear material. This is my forth and final creation. Bound together with red string is a pine-cone whose seeds are freshly spouting out and some brush that looked wreath-y like to me, all found on campus. I like the blend of textures and colors in this piece, and I especially like that it has yet to wilt. Cheers to trial and error.
