Human Figure Drawings

Pencil on A3

As an architecture student who did not have any skills on drawing a human figure before, I have learned about how to draw it proportionally with the right scale using 3 basic shapes; circle for the head, square for the body, and triangle for the legs. This exercise trains my eye to understand balance and form.

AR-03 | Mid Semester Exam (Engineering Center)

For the mid semester exam, we were given an empty space to fill with our ideas, which is the Engineering Center lobby in Faculty of Engineering, University of Indonesia. We have to be able to communicate our ideas of what we are going to do with the empty space through our perspective drawings. I decided to change the functions to be a student lounge.

AX-02 | Sketch: Indoor Complex Objects (Chairs)

Next, we started to sketch a more architectural perspective drawings trough chairs. In this assignment, we are using the two-point perspective to draw the chairs. To do this, we have to draw the chair from the front sideways. The objective of this exercise is still the same as before, we have to show the object's depth, texture, and shadows with a good rendering. We have to be careful and pay attention to the chair's proportion when drawing the lines to its vanishing point. There are 5 chairs for us to sketch.

- chair 1

- chair 2

- chair 3

- chair 4

- chair 5

AX-01 | Sketch: Indoor Object (Fruits, Vegetables, & Styrofoam)

In this assignment, I made sketches of fruits and vegetables; bell pepper, avocado, kiwi, ginger, and cabbage. And also a styrofoam object. I learned about how to draw an image that has depth, texture, and shadows 3 dimensionally. This is like the introduction exercise for perspective drawings which we will do later after this assignment. The rendering process is very important to show the object's depth and texture. Shadows composition is also important, we have to be careful so the object does not look like its floating. We have to redo our drawings until we get an "OK" from our facilitators. *huff* hehe :p
