Since I was already quite behind and the deadline was approaching, so I chose to use the same shell I used for the orthographic drawing because I already had the thumbnail to help me construct the object. I had to make a decision: to get the tasks done by the end of the deadline or to do it by the book and risk not finishing it. I decided that finishing it in time was the right choice, but for next term, this is something I would like to change: to organize myself better in order to avoid this kind of situation.
I followed the instructions from the recording and started by choosing my unit of measurement - half of the shell’s height - and drawing the Y plane:
Since the shell is a more complex form than the one in the example, I couldn’t define it’s form yet. I decided the best way was to draw the box defining the space it occupies. And so, I continued by drawing the X and Z planes:
I must admit the multitude of lines confused me, so a more organized, cleaner way of working on such a drawing would have benefitted me.
After drawing the planes I started sketching the shell. I used the planes as much as I could, though looking back I could have done better, since the orientation of the front part of the shell (the spiralling one), doesn’t perfectly match its corresponding plane:
After cleaning the lines, this was the final work:
