[16/7/14] Learn from basic- Architectural lettering

Today, we were asked to draw an architecture lettering by using pencil at first and followed by using felt tip pens. Before starting with our drawing, we start out with drawing the title block and lines by using set squares and T-square. This is the first time and ever, I draw a straight line by using T-square. With the instructions by our lecturer, we pasted our A3 cartridge paper on the table by using masking tape so that we can draw straight lines accurately without changing the position of the paper by using T-square and set-square.   

The most challenging part in this exercise that I felt was measuring and drawing the straight lines for drawing letters. Despite of the measuring part, I'm very enjoy with the process of writing the architecture lettering. 

Architecture lettering-alphabets, numbers

On the afternoon session, we were needed to use the lettering that we had learnt to write a full pages of lyrics on a piece of A3 cartridge paper. Instead of using pencil as what we done in previous, felt tip pens were used.   

Lyrics wrote by using architecture lettering

Besides, the lyrics that I chosen for this second exercise was the counting stars by one republic.  

[9/7/14] first day, first task

We were required to draw a portrait of our friend and introduce his/her to the whole class. Soon after that, our lecturer asked us to draw a sketching of inside-out shoe by applying the techniques of shading for sketches. 

Portrait of my friend 

When we were asked to draw a portrait of our friend and introduce he/she to the entire class, my first expression was like "huh?". Anyway it was really an interesting way to get know to each other.

Shoe sketches inside-out

Before that, I had never try to imagine a shoe inside out. So this is most probably the most special task for my first day in design communication class. It's quite rushing to complete sketching a shoe within 30 minutes and I had done with this still-acceptable piece of art. LOL.

After the morning session, we were given by another task which was drawing straight lines without using ruler. The following are the series of freehand sketching straight lines.

Last but not least, the objective for this exercise was to train us to draw lines straight and consistently.
