Week 8: Measured Constructive Drawing

The measured constructive drawing was technical enough, but I enjoyed it much more than I did the orthographic one. It also helped me visualize the objects in 3D better and draw more acuurately.

I started by measuring the objects and drawing boxes in order to delimit their height and width and where they are placed on the page compared to the other objects. Then I marked where the ellipses would be and how wide they are by drawing other boxes:


I sketched the objects, drawing the ellipses using the technique presented in this week's recording. I am not used to this way of drawing ellipses and, if I'm being honest, I found it a bit to complex. I must admit I got a bit confused with the lines. I usually only draw the box and the two lines marking the halves of the ellipse/ Though, I understand that way might be less accurate.


After drawing the objects, I erased the construction lines, straightened and cleaned a few others and shaded the drawing:
