Free Hand Portfolio - part 2

REFLECTION - I like the soft effect that the wet-onwet technique gave for the background - I think value is used well and created good contrast between the dark and light areas - The shadow added made this much more realistic and accurately represents shade and shadow

CLASSWORK 8/HOMEWORK 7 THE PROCESS

DESCRIPTION - Draw a 2-point perspective drawing

MATERIALS

EXERCISE 15

- Mixed media (watercolor & ink) - A4 aquarelle paper

20XX

THE PROCESS - I added light lines for some of the bricks to ensure that those also follow perspective rules

FEEDBACK - Good incorporation of value and intensity

ARCH 221/1511

50

REFLECTION - Adding multiple layers of different shades of brown for the bricks allowed me to create a good brick texture - Fading out from the left is well done - Orientation could have been improved by shifting the building downwards to ensure its fully fits the page - Details added with ink further enhanced the window features and made this more realistic

THE INSPIRATION

DESCRIPTION

ARCH 221/1511

52

REFLECTION - Ensuring I left some unblended watercolor allowed me to create a similar effect to my inspiration - Adding ink enhanced the form and enabled me to add some minor details - Adding splashes of watercolor would have improved this - Shade could have been shown through dark contrasting colors

SHADE AND SHADOW IN PERSPECTIVE

ARCH 221/1511

CLASSWORK 9

DESCRIPTION - Draw basic geometric shapes (composition of 3 shapes) - Show light source and drop shadow BEFORE

MATERIALS

20XX

PROCESS - I used my lights source and base point to find the drop shadow point for every point

FEEDBACK

AFTER

EXERCISE 17

- Any media - A3 paper

- Perspective is not accurate - There should be no space between the cuboids ARCH 221/1511

56

REFLECTION - Ensuring the lines connect to the vanishing points more accurately improved the visual balance - I believe this is well drawn as drop shadow is clear and precise drawn based on the light source and its base - Marker rendering allowed me to easily portray the drop shadow and leave an aesthetically pleasing effect

GRADE: 9.5/10

HOMEWORK 8

DESCRIPTION - Draw a dramatic scene of stationary objects (composition of 3 linked elements) - Show use of drop shadow

MATERIALS

EXERCISE 19

- Watercolor and marker - A3 aquarelle paper

20XX

THE PROCESS

FEEDBACK - Contrast in steel objected clarifies the metallic texture

PROCESS - I used two vanishing points to draw cubes for each object first in order to be able to assign a certain area for the object

ARCH 221/1511

58

REFLECTION - I used my previous feedback on creating contrast which showcased the texture effectively this time - Light strokes used in the background helped me produce a balanced and realistic piece - I believe the object in watercolor could be improved by adding more intensity and more detail.

MATERIALS - Any media (watercolor, marker & ink) - A3 paper

EXERCISE 20

THE PROCESS

PHOTOS

- I used projection lines to accurately draw the different views

PHOTOS

FEEDBACK - There should have been labeling - Proportion should be taken into consideration more - Missing the plan

ARCH 221/1511

62

REFLECTION - I believe rendering shows shade and tone which I like - I think I need more understanding of sections in order to produce accurate drawings

HOMEWORK 9 & CLASSWORK 11

DESCRIPTION

BEFORE

- To render an elevation and plan, and drop shadow

MATERIALS

EXERCISE 21

- Ink and marker - A3 tracing paper

20XX

FEEDBACK - Good rendering and creativity

AFTER

REFLECTIION - Improving the texture of the door made this more realistic - Using both plan and elevation concurrently for projection lines ensured accuracy in my shadows

ARCH 221/1511

66

THE PROCESS

BEFORE

- I applied white ink on the windows to show highlight

FEEDBACK - There should be shadows created by the walkway area

REFLECTION

AFTER

- Understanding that the window acts as a light source allowed me to portray shadow effectively - I like the texture of the stones I drew - Adding more elements to the garden would further improve this drawing

CLASSWORK 12

DESCRIPTION - Draw an exterior detail

MATERIALS - Mixed media (pencil) - A4 paper

EXERCISE 22

THE PROCESS

20XX

- I initially started by drawing a rough outline for spatial awareness - I drew strokes in different directions to create the rough texture

FEEDBACK - Good texture shown

ARCH 221/1511

68

REFLECTION - This is a favorite of mine since I was able to create clear texture in very little time - Adding darker shades with more pressure in darker areas ensure shade and shadow is evident - I believe my zooming effect produced an interesting piece

BETWEEN REALITY

AND IMAGINATION

73 ARCH 221/1511

DESCRIPTION - I decided to take on the imaginative idea of the 4 elements of nature having immense power, that they overpower a mighty place like a palace - I incorporated this in each drawing by adding extra substances EARTH

FIRE

MATERIALS - I decided to use ink for the building to reflect on reality - I used marker for the elements so that there is large contrast between the building and the elements ARCH 221/1511

74

FEEDBACK - More elements can be added to “Air” like flags & curtains - Add shade to the buildings, a background and a title - Rearrange layout to have more balance WATER

AIR

REFLECTION - I want to add more colors to “Earth” through adding flowers - I like the connection and flow I have created using the elements - I like that markers make the elements stand out clearly ARCH 221/1511

DEVELOPMENT 02

THE PROCESS

20XX

- For each one, I started by rendering with marker, using lightest shades first and building layers using darker shades to ensure intensity is evident - After this I started outlining with a 0.4 ink to have an accurate perspective base ready to apply more shade

ARCH 221/1511

BEFORE

THE PROCESS

- I also added extra shading using pencil - I used pencil colors in some areas like the rocks to enhance the tone

AFTER

- After outlining I added strokes in different directions - I used thicker ink in darker areas to showcase intensity more
