stylish






I like all of these drawings because they are all crisp and clean. They look perfect, as if they could trace the building. I also like the use of color. I think it adds a spark to the drawings. I especially like the one done with watercolor. You can find all these artists here.

GiiTD



These are my details. The first one is the sink at my house. It's very old, and broken(hot is cold and cold is hot). If it looks crooked, good, it is. I liked the pipes because they looked very weird all coming out of my sink, and I liked the way the big one twists back.
The second one is a doorknob. This is a detail I pay attention to anyway, so it was fun to draw, especially since it looked like an antique doorknob. I love drawing metallic things, but this one was weird because it was so old, it really didn't have much of a shine anymore.
My third one is one of the lights hanging all over the place. I used grey markers to shade on this one, mostly just messing around and trying new things, but i think it came out somewhat decent.

my very first orthographic drawing

This is the west, south, and east side lined up om the bottom. I tried to fit all of them on the scanner, but a little bit was cut off. I used guidelines to help me.
This is the top view lining up with the south. This was the most difficult one to do.
I didn't have room for the north side on the bottom so i lined it up at the top. Everything pretty much lined up perfectly, so this was the least difficult.

Next time i'm going to take a photograph of the entire thing and post it on my blog. I had to separate the orthographic up you can't really get a sense of the whole drawing.

lots and lots of lines



This is the cross-hatching sketch. I first mapped out everything very roughly on the paper and then went back in and drew the actual forms in pencil. Then I drew over everything with pen. I wanted the hatching to look almost like it would in a comic book, instead of realistic. I used different sizes of pen, as well as different shades of gray.

You call this art?





This my drawing we did at the exhibit. I forgot my glasses that day so the details aren't very accurate. I liked drawing the folds in the laundry the best. I liked the little details(that i could see), better then drawing the entire room.

clutter



Here is my mess sketch. Finding a clutter in my room is no problem. I just did basically a contour drawing, which turned out ok. As you can see I have tons of Hello Kitty and nail polish(not sure if that's a good thing).
