INTRODUCTION TO DRAWING

ABOUT MODULE AND TASKS

This module consists of 3 assignments with one of them involves group work. Each of this assignment accesses your drawing skills, with most of them involved technical drawings. A lot of elements have been taught throughout this module. Students here will learn about drawing techniques, learning how to create technical drawings of objects and houses, and using architectural tools to help assist in making those drawings so that students will be familiar with architectural plans and be able to understand and identify every element and symbol within the drawing. This module will greatly enhance student's drawing skill, regardless of how skilled of an artist they are.

Assignment 1 (Individual) Introduction to drawings

Assignment 1 (Individual) Introduction to drawings

For this assignment, students are to select 2 different item and draw them in distinctive styles. The items are separated into 2 categories, one with free style drawing and the other which is technical drawing. Each category is given 3 different types of items to choose from and each item will be drawn into 3 different drawing styles. (3 types of free style and 3 types of technical drawing)

First Item (Apple)

BASIC LINE DRAWING

Took quite some time to draw the shape of the apple I chose. Once its done I traced the other drawings to get the job done faster.

SIMPLE PERSPECTIVE DRAWING

I used 2 types of lead to create the shades and slightly smudge with my eraser to create the 3D effect

RENDERING DRAWING

Used quite a lot of lead to create different shades and a lot of smudging with the eraser to make a rendering drawing

Second Item (Mouse)

TOP VIEW

It took quite a long time to draw out the top view, especially the outline and the details like the scroll wheel and the logo. For the details, its very challenging to draw it out perfectly.

ELEVATION VIEW

The details within the outline is quite challenging to draw.

SECTION VIEW

The section drawing took quite a long time to draw. It involves my own creativity to draw out the interior of the mouse. I took some references from the internet to get some ideas.

Reflection

Having this assignment introduced to me is a nerve wrecking experience. That is because I am not a talented drawer and have never drawn any professional drawings in my life. I started with the technical drawings first just to challenge myself how well and cleanly I can draw. To my surprise. I managed to draw a perfect outline of my mouse and I proceeded to add more details to it with ease. Next I proceeded to draw my apple. The basic line drawings are very simple to draw its outline, and then I started to draw the perspective drawing, which I used only 2 types of lead and using an eraser to create the 3d effect. The rendering drawing looks very challenging but in fact its very similar to the perspective drawing except that this time I used more types of lead and used my eraser more frequently to balance out the shades. Overall, this assignment has gained me a lot of confidence in my drawing skills
