Drafting 10 Portfolio

Just like last year, the three projects we started our Drafting 10 class were our one, two and three point perspective drawings.
Unlike last year, we created our very own drawings, taking inspiration from the real world as opposed to a YouTube tutorial.

One Point Perspective

For this drawing, I took inspiration from a location I fell in love with during my vacation to Korea; Bustling Myeongdong – a shopping district that is known for the sheer amount of tourists and locals that are bustling on its streets daily.
I came to love this place because of a restaurant located here that had some of the best traditional korean noodle soups that I’ve ever had.
Although I did spend quite a bit of time on the details, the drawing is missing some depth; namely shading; despite this, I believe I portrayed my love for this location in my own, unique way.

Two Point Perspective

My first drawing lacked depth (Shading, mostly), so for my second I sacrificed some of the details so that I could spend most of my timing on the shading.
The drawing itself wasn’t that difficult, aside from creating the rounded surfaces that can be found on the sofa and the floor mat; also, the chessboard took forever and I still don’t know why I chose it over something more simple like a book.
The abstract painting seems even more abstract when put inside such a simple, colourless room, and even though it started as a mistake (I genuinely mistook my blue pencil crayon as a pencil), I believe it adds a nice touch to the overall atmosphere of the place.

Three Point Perspective

I did not realize this while following the TPP Tutorial from last year (the japanese temple), but Three Point Perspective is actually much more complex than it seems; for starters, the triangle rule exists – simply put this means that you may only draw inside the three vanishing points placed on the drawing.
I could have followed a tutorial to create something more complex, but I decided to go for originality over good but copied art.
TLDR (too long didn’t read); improvements could be made, I need more practice for this form of art.
Astronomy Project (Model)
There were two main problems when creating this model, one of which was solved through critical thinking and the other through doing nothing.
Our first problem was that the amount of items we could 3D print was limited to our planet, and everything else had to be made using a different material. We solved this issue by thinking in layers as opposed to designing our stand as a whole, and turned some of the layers sideways (The curvy component) so that we wouldn’t have to stack as much.
The second problem was the mark that the base for our sphere left on the bottom; fortunately, the mark resembled the Caloris Basin – the largest crater on Mercury, and made it easier for us.

Gravity Car

For our most recent Drafting 10 project (that was due by the time I created this portfolio), we were tasked with creating a car with two predetermined wheels and a couple (minimum 1) more custom versions. We would then roll this car down a ramp, and see whose model could cross a meter the fastest after landing on a flat surface (the floor)
Our idea was simple; keep it thin since thin = aerodynamic, but keep it long enough so that both sets of wheels would actually have a purpose. The only reason why we couldn’t make it even more thin was because the hole for the axel had to be smaller than the height of our car.

Bath Bomb

For my bath bomb, I utilized multiple layers to create a Mickey Mouse design on top of a circle with a half-sphere on the bottom half. We added too much water to the bath bomb mixture, and it ended up dissolving itself while inside the mold.

Bird Box

For the bird box, unlike most of the other projects we’ve done in drafting, the ideating stage was the most difficult. We had to figure out what each of the values on the form meant, and even after had to think of what we would add onto our boxes. The designing took much less time compared to it.
