TASK

week 1

For today, Mr. Kanan went through MIB with us. We were briefed about the projects. For the task for this week, we were asked to find 3 locations, either city, forest, or park. We need to study how the shape is forming, use some basic shapes, and reconstruct it after deconstructing. We would also need to build our own settings while looking at the vanishing points. 

week 2-3

Below is my attempt at exercise 1.

FEEDBACK

week 2: The perspective is a bit off and be careful on the dept and the vanishing point. 

week 5: The drawings are fine, make sure you know the function of the line and come out with a story for the sketches.

REFLECTION

With the exercise, I practiced on the fundamental of perspective which I think I am weak of. In my opinion, I think perspective is really important with every drawing because it makes your drawing looks more believable. The sky replacement practices, it reminds me of the digital photo imaging module that I took in semester 1, which also requires us to come out with realistic photos.
