3 Relaxing Sketches

5 Scale Figure Examples

I took this image from Colleen's blog, http://queenoftoast.blogspot.com. I really enjoyed looking through a lot of her artistry, with not only paper, but sewing and developing other images through photographs and significant memories. I took this picture, because even though the people's faces are not shown, the viewer knows they are present. This seems like a good solution for us who are afraid to draw people in spaces.

I took this image from France Belleville's site, http://www.wagonized.typepad.com. I think her work is gorgeous, everything she draws is with great detail and every view is taken with great consideration. I think even from a distance, her people will probably still be difficult to duplicate.

This image was taken from Tommy Kane's blog, http://www.paulabecker.com/blog. I love his work. It is reminds me a lot of characatures. His style is very colorful and vibrant. This image works well because the people in his drawing are shown, but not in full detail.

I got this image from the site, Whateverings by Paula J. Becker, http://www.yakubiuk.com/wordpress. I think her work is amazing, the way she draws people is very cartoon-y, but viewer friendly as well. I think her style would be very hard to duplicate.

This image was taken from a blog the site is http://www.yakubiuk.com/wordpress/. I thought these images were really neat because they were messy, but definitely portrayed a realistic scale figure.

5 Perspective Drawing References

This drawing is taken from Suzanne Buchanan's work. I always love Suzanne's work and find it very fun and creative. I picked this piece because it contained a different shading method than I am used to and it also includes an actual structured piece in the sketch. If you are interested in seeing more of Suzanne's work visit her at http://suzannebuchanan.blogspot.com.

This drawing was taken from Color Drawing; Design skills and techniques for Architects, Landscape Architects and Interior Designers 2nd Edition written by Michael E. Doyle; (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 1999)

This is my replica drawing of one of the Color Drawing book sketches. I tried to make it look very mechanical and exact I would have changed a couple of the angles in the drawing, but overall I was happy with this piece.


This drawing was taken from Pencil Sketching by Thomas C. Wang page viii;(John Wiley and Sons Inc. 2002)

This is my replica drawing. I tried to make sure it was sketchy and very pencil looking even though it was in ink. I am planning on adding more shadowing effects to this piece.


This drawing was taken from Manual of Graphic Techniques 2 for architects, graphic designers and artists written by Tom Porter and Sue Goodman page 68 (MacMillian Publishing Company, 1982)

This drawing was taken from Sketching and Rendering Interior Spaces written by Ivo D. Drpic Page 140-141, (Whitney Library of Design, 1988)

This is my replica drawing from one of the images in Sketching and Rendering Interior Spaces. I think next time I should have made the drawing more contour like and not as detailed. Through the details I definitely added a personal touch, which took away from the replication process. I also should not have added the black fill in as well.

Wood Project

This project was definitely difficult for me. It was my first time in the wood shop and I had no idea where to start. Jake really helped me use all of the tools and build the piece I originally decide. I realized through working on this project that simplicity is not always the easiest route. I had to go through many different techniques to angle the intersecting pieces perfectly together. I think this was a great first experience in the shop and was overall happy with my project.
