Lesson 6: Applying Construction to Everyday Objects
6:50 PM, Wednesday September 16th 2020
I feel it was easier to follow than the previous lesson but way more unforgiving. I think I got the gist of it but still there's a LOT of room for improvement. Among the things I notice throughout:
-
For most of the curves I draw straight lines but I feel sometimes they're not that visible because of the curves on top. Hope that's not a problem.
-
I think my biggest struggle was planning. I would analyze the object and tried to pick the best path, although most of the times through the middle of the process I would see my plan was not the best but would have to stick to what I've already done.
-
Sometimes I would draw all the planes that I thought necessary but I would end up with such clutter that I would work against me and sometimes I would happen the other way. In my favorite objects I think I found the correct balance.
-
Despite knowing about the orientation of the ellipses (minor angle and the other two VP) sometimes they weren't the best and in one page I thought I could take the shorcut of drawing an ellipse on top of another but it would end up flattening the drawing.
-
I tried to do one with an exagerated perspective but it was a mess. So I tried to keep the perspective rather shallow to focus more on the construction side of things.
-
I struggle a bit on the cross-sections of the teapot n.n'
As always, Thanks for the lessons and thanks for the feedback!
