An assignment for my current Illustration Class is to post weekly drawings that the student as done in addition to some commentary on what was learned through the exercise. This week: the basics!
During the first day of class we had a challenge sprung on us; to draw ten of the following:
Cubes, Cylinders, Cones, and Spheres
The catch was that we needed to draw each in ten different points of view in twenty minutes! I barely was able to finish my page but I'm glad to say I managed it.
On Thursday our task was to refine our skills at drawing the basic shapes and to learn new methods of rendering accurate images.
I always have a bit of a problem with ellipses, the ends usually turn out somewhat tapered and football like. Hala taught us a useful method of drawing them, and cylinders, by paying attention to the lengths of the longer ends of the ellipse to the shorter ones. It was informative and helped me with my homework assignment, where I needed to handle a fair amount of ellipses with my object.
Nice to see the improvements!
