Goals:
- Render texture, style and three-dimensionality using an ink process to achieve contrast, shadow and shade
- Use distinct line weights in drawing to establish depth of view
- Refine precision and neatness in drawing
- Develop time management skills
Media: Black ink
Assignment:
Produce ink “texture” drawings on vellum using the provided site plan. These drawings should portray visually developed views enhanced through the use of practiced inking textures, while using a 45-degree and 1/4″ offset shadow technique.
Process:
- Begin by producing a drawing on trace paper. Overlay the trace paper on the site plan drawing and redraw the site plan using appropriate line weights.
- Experiment with different types of tonal value techniques (hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, etc.). Feel free to overlay multiple sheets of trace to refine your drawing.
- Once you have decided on the technique for the drawing. Complete a final version on vellum.
- Create a simple title block, with scale and north arrow. (We will discuss in class.)
