Have you ever taken a class and a month into the course you feel like you still haven't learned anything? Let me just say, IDES Studio III is NOTHING like that! So far we're embarking on our fourth week and I feel like I've already learned so much about sketching and rendering. On Monday we had our first assignment due (check out the picture), and I'm really impressed with myself. I mean, I know it isn't perfect, but I think it's still pretty sweet that I've come so far so soon. We've been working on our colored pencil techniques (like the stroke and angle of the pencil) and we've started studying and practicing perspective drawing.
Perspective drawing is about adding depth to an otherwise flat composition. There are many styles and techniques of perspective drawing, but what we've touched on so far is 1-point and 2-point perspective. The picture I've included is of my first 1-point perspective finished product. The next assignment we have is for a 2-point perspective drawing. I'll make sure I upload a picture of that so you can get the idea!
In addition to colored pencils, today we also started working with markers for the first time this year which I'm super excited about!! I love learning how to make really professional looking renderings and I love finding seeing what I'm capable of. The ability to render is a major asset because not everyone is good at it. It's something I can list on my resume when I'm out there applying for jobs and internships. I think it's great how the Interior Design curriculum here is so well-rounded because I'm getting my hands into so many things. Hand-drafting, Computer Aided Design, 3-D Models, Rendering, this list goes on and on...
I'll be sure to check in next week and update you on what's new!
In the meantime, definitely leave question if you're wondering about anything.
Sincerely,

Wow that's a great thing what you did. I like drawing, it makes me relax and I love to put my emotions in my drawing. And you are so talented. You can make so many new things.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words.
Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the images on this blog loading? I'm trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.
I haven't heard of anyone else experiencing issues with the images, but I would suggest updating your web browser and/or flash. Let me know if that helps!
Hey, good website. We actually came across this on yahoo, and im happy I did. I'll definitely be returning...
Great! Glad you like :)
I've been absent for a while, but now I remember why I used to love this blog. Thank you, I’ll try and check back more often. How frequently do you update your site?
I update once a week! Thanks for your positive feedback!
