This week we looked at photoshop and InDesign to create our works. At first, I found it difficult to get my photo to show up dark in photoshop so I re did the lines on my drawing to make them bolder in order for them to work. I found it challenging to navigate photoshop at first, but I did some research to help me come to the end result. This relates to my future in design as I would like to be a graphic designer so becoming more comfortable using the programming is important.

This week we focused on one-point perspective. I enjoyed the challenge the measuring the horizon line to create the 3D shapes, however I did find it challenging in the first activities as I the concept was new to me. The interior drawing in the third activity was a challenge for me as I couldn’t get my angles right but after a few attempts I was happy with the end result. The process I took to overcome this obstacle was by re drawing my horizon line to be in the centre of my page and taking my ruler and slowly drawing the lines. This process showed me the importance of having the foundations lines correct before starting the work.

This week we focused on two-point perspective. Two-point perspective was a new concept to me and was hard at first to understand but one I did I enjoyed the activities. An obstacle I had to over some this week was activities 3, I found this activity challenging because getting the proportions correct was hard. I tried to overcome this by trying to get the two couches in the drawing similar but that also didn’t help. Drawing interiors is something that I want to get better at. This will help me in the future as architecture is something I’m looking into for a career option.

This week we used isometric graph paper to create projections and exploded views. The mediums to choose to work with this week was fine liner, pencil and pen as charcoal was too thick for me to work with on the lines. The activity I found most challenging this week was drawing the robot projection. I had to try this projection a number of times as I found it difficult to get the proportions correct. I overcome this obstacle by making my robot bigger on the page. I also think the proportions on the paper that I printed were too big and made it harder for me to make to projection small. This will help me in future tasks as I am familiar with isometric paper now and I have more opportunity to get better at it.

This week we looked at box modelling and speculative drawing.  This week I found it challenging to grasp the concept at first as it was new to me. I found it challenging lining the object up properly while drawing so I used my ruler to create a line in the middle to keep it straight.

Not happy with shading done in pen. next time wouldn’t use on big spaces.

2B pencil and fine liner. Tracing the lines in fine liner made my lines wobbly. Wouldn’t use fine liner again without ruler.

Drawing one is of a dot work moth. I decided to draw this as I could use a dot work technique with fine liner pens. I’ve enjoyed this technique over the trimester and wanted to explore this technique more. Working with fine liner has been a challenged for me over the trimester but I’ve enjoyed working on my skills.  I chose this idea as I believed I could incorporated some of the principles of design into my work. I used unity and balance through the placement of the wings and emphasis on the body of the moth. This relates to my future design practices as I’d like to continue growing my drawing skills to be able to create more intricate works for and create better graphic design works.

I chose to construct a flow of hexagons and triangles with intricate patterns. I produced this work with fine liner pens, pencils and pens. I chose these mediums because this is what I’m most confident using. This work incorporates the principles of design through using patterns. I wanted to create a work that flowed well together and was also interesting to look at. This relates to my future design practices as I enjoy coming up with concepts and seeing them come to life.

I believe over the trimester my skills have improved and helped to understand what career path I want to go down. My drawing skills have improved from my base level skills at the beginning of the trimester. I’m happy with my final two drawings as they show my growth as a drawer and my ability to draw intricate details. I’m the happiest with my drawing of the moth as I tested my patience and showed me that I can created good works. A challenge that I overcome throughout this trimester is comparing my work to other peoples, I overcome this through understanding that everybody is at different stages of their drawing journeys and I can get to where I want to be with practice and time. I’ve learnt that drawing practices are needed for all forms of design and are very versatile within each topic.
