Lesson 6: Applying Construction to Everyday Objects
8:57 AM, Sunday December 1st 2024
Thank you in advance for the feedback! I had a few questions while I was doing this lesson:
-
I’m usually not confident that I’ve executed the intersections of the forms correctly, do you have any advice on how I could check the intersections exercise independently (e.g. if I want to do this exercise as practice in the future)? Would you recommend using 3D software like Blender to do this checking?
-
I saw some methods on how to divide a curved surface, how to draw rotated planes in perspective (when the horizon line is vertical rather than horizontal), alternative methods to subdivide a plane, etc. I tried the last one out for the watercolour drawing (5 of 8, dividing into 14ths) as I thought it would reduce the clutter of lines significantly, but would you recommend these methods for this course?
-
I found it quite challenging to add details to drawing using construction (e.g. the buttons and joystick on the gaming console (7 of 8)) because of the number of intersecting lines on the page and thickness of my pen. Do you have any advice on how to handle this, without drawing lighter since it is discouraged?
