7 Sketches

Here are my 7 sketches (below the knee) along with their respective pictures for the assignment. The first thing I observed of myself rather than the sketches was: Not drawing for over 3 months makes you very...very rusty. Oh and the camera angles may be slightly off from where I actually drew, I forgot at first to take the pictures until after I did most of the sketches.

Anyways, my first sketch is of a computer chair. I think the hardest part about sketching the chair quickly is to have the legs in the right perspective and have the proper length/width. I did it very quickly, but I noticed my lines weren't as ridiculous as they can sometimes come out to be.



The second sketch I did was of a pot with a large plant. I tried to throw in some organic shape, but it came out too messy for my tastes and I'm sure the pot's perspective is skewed. I'm usually not very good at drawing circles so I felt doing a round object would benefit me in getting used to quickly drawing them. Oh and the scanner didn't cut the plants off, I just draw really very large often.

My third sketch was my pair of wonderful Puma shoes. Although they are more structural, I wanted to try and catch the worn down shape of the shoes, which wasn't very easy to tackle. They're not my best, but I did enjoy drawing them.


Next was a tv stand that held the tv along with an Xbox 360 and a game on top. Unfortunately as I was posting this now I realized my friend moved the game case when I took the picture. It was there though!!






This one was pretty simple and basic, but for me being very rusty with perspective and circles I felt this was a good choice. There are obvious problems with the sketch, but as it was stated to be, these are very quick and I'm far from doing a perfect sketch. I could have made it shorter and fatter. My drawing doesn't look as bulbous as the actual water holder.



Drawing the 360 controller was a given when I saw it on my friend's floor. This one has some added features on it, but overall it was the same thing. I love the shape of the controller and how at first you can make the rectangle shape and begin hacking away the corners to create the round edges.




Last and for once probably the least, the regular old fashioned chair. This one really disappointed me and I got frustrated because I felt I had been measuring the angles and such (quickly mind you) I still felt like this came out sloppy and with bad perspective.
