Perspective & Quick Sketch Methods Student Samples

1. Perspective &Quick Sketch Methods Student Samples Perspective Drawing Quick Sketching • Students used floorplans and elevations from a previous drafting project to generate a hardline perspective drawing of the interior space. • The students then studied various modifications to one elevation of the interior and added architectural and interior components. • Using an overlay method, students explored various ways of accessorizing the space and created a composite hardline perspective. • This hardline drawing was used as a foundation for exploring and developing quick sketch techniques. • In a timed drawing experience, students were instructed to overlay and sketch the entire contents of their hardline perspective drawing in five minutes. • The timed drawing experience was repeated to give students more familiarity with the look and “feel” of quick sketching, ingraining the technique into muscle memory. • Further quick sketch studies were done using the overlay method and developing pure tone drawings, using line & texture or marker only. • The studies led to final composite sketches using marker and felt-tip to create line, tone, and texture.

3. Timed Sketches DMT 253Fall 2000 Perspective &Quick Sketch Methods Students overlayed the hardline perspectives and were instructed to sketch the interior and entourage in 5 minutes. Repeating the process, students were prompted to improve on the previous sketch within the same time frame. Students also prompted to refine the details and create a sense of value and texture.
