Memory Container 2

These are some sequential pictures of making the final iteration. They leave out a good portion of it I know, it was hard to remember to stop and take pictures of stuff.
Cutting out the parts for the box.

Here you can really see the tiles inside the box. I decided to raise them up off the bottom a little bit, as well as bring the corner pieces in some; they originally held the sides on, so I added similar tabs on the outside. Both of these features I scored and mitered so the outside edge would be clean. This box has much better construction than previous versions of the project.
This is the project after adding the red parts and such. You might not be able to tell, but it was just dripping with Sobo glue at this point. The red pieces also penetrate through the sides and bottom of the box forming legs for it. Thus the whole thing rests at a peculiar angle

Here is the final product. The memory is when I made a fool out of myself with my sisters in a nice restaurant when we got drunk, disturbing countless other patrons. I hated this project originally but think it didn't turn out too terribly bad in the end.

Memory Container 1

This is my concept sketch, with important elements/notes at the top, and a few computations to clutter it up nicely. This is the essence of the project for me, everything I was trying to accomplish through it. Normally this is the first thing that happens however, I had no clue what I was doing until later on, thus the first step happened later in the process.

First iteration: Like I said I had no clue what I was doing so I just threw this out there, (this was before I got an idea and did the concept sketch above) It had the martini glass-looking cone upside down on the spire. I cannibalized that part for later iterations which is why it is not in the picture.
Second iteration: This was the first after the drawing and includes the cup shape taken from the earlier version. It is hard to see, but there are mat board tiles checkered inside the box. The construction of this is clearly sub-par.

People Drawings






My drawings of people look so sketchy, and for some reason they always wind up being in a weird perspective, different from what I see.

Line contours of downtown




I was really not in the mood to draw at all when I did these, suffice to say it was a bad week of drawing for me. I think they are terrible.

Line Contour Number 2

This is the second of the two Line Contour drawings I did from this view. The first however was in a sketchbook that got lost. This one is not nearly as good as the first, I was so incredibly tired when I drew it and just didn't care.

Contour of Downtown 1

The windows of the parking deck in the foreground are not right, they don't converge at a vanishing point making the building look slanted.

Negative Space Sketch 2

Here are more negative space exercises.

Negative Space Sketch


These are negative space drawings, they may be a little faint, I apologize.

Blind Contour of my Hand

I truly loathe this drawing, and blind contour for that matter.
