People in Interior Spaces

For this assignment, we had to sketch people in interior spaces. Most of my drawings are from my trip to Asheville this 4-day weekend.

Assignment 4- Pure Contour

Above are my three attempts at drawing the Foust Building. The first one I tried from the side view of the building because there would be less people and very few would have that angle. However, I realized I was becoming too anal with getting it perfectly measured that I was having trouble putting it all together.
My second attempt was during the weekend. I went to campus and since the whole class wasn't there I was able to pick a view. I think my second attempt was better but I wasn't happy with the scale of it on my page and because the small towers were displaced. So I decided to try again. It took me several hours but I was able to get it to a point where I was satisfied with it. It was a challenging building to sketch, especially for me-since I can't draw. I must say that once I was able to finally get the outline of the building done, the second toughest thing was drawing the cars!

Assignment 3- Blind Contour

Our assignment was to pick five items. For each item we were to sketch it and do a blind contour on it, as well. However, there was a catch. We had to use the same subject matter or theme (ie if you picked a sneaker than you could only draw shoes). I had a tough time trying to figure out and decide on my five items. It was a tough commitment but, with the suggestion of my boyfriend (Todd), I went with figurines we had at home. This is my favorite one (the draw I liked the most out of the five). Todd bought this owl when we went to Quebec last year for Christmas. We bought it as a boutique owned by an Irish man, who directed us to the nearest bar that had Guiness on draft. We even met a nice Irish couple there. It was a good day!

Assignment 1- Name Tag

Our first assignment in our Design Visualization class was to create our own name tags to post at our desks. We could do anything we wanted on it as long as our name was visible and legible. This is mine.

My favorite blog...so far

After visiting a few blogs, I've decided on my favorite blog. I don't know if over time it will change and, if it does, I hope that it will continue to be in my top favorites. My favorite blog is Tommy Kane's. The first thing I saw was a drawing of a young man, who looked to be dressed for the 70s with shaggy hair. I thought the guys name was pretty funny as well. There was a story with the image and it was funny. It made me think of my recent run-ins with people I knew back in middle school and high school. After that posting, the following one cinched the deal! He had a drawing of the Manhattan Bridge, along with insight of his time drawing the bridge. It turns out he's a New Yorker! Since I'm also a New Yorker, I couldn't see anything wrong with that. Of course, the drawing just made me think of home. I haven't been to New York in over a year and I miss it.
