Overall i am happy with the result of these drawings, i found them quite a struggle to construct from my model and did so with the most accurrate measurements i could using vernier calipers and my steel rule.
Something i have struggled with throughout the whole project has been represnting the slanted door.
before i began to paint my drawings i tested the paint on a sacrificial piece of vellum and decided that though it was more timee consuming it was nessisary to mask the paint with tape to ensure i had a crisp finish on the edges. In high in sight, if i were to repeat the process i would use a non transpareent tape to mask it to make it easier to tell where where i had and hadn't masked as i came close to painting where i hadn't masked in a few cases because i found it hard to see the magic tape.
i changed this drawing to the one at the top of the page after advice in my crit to research the way the bricks had been laid. i found that the brick was a flemish style and that it was most probably a 4 thick solid wall as after talking with both David and my Dad (a builder) i concluded that the cavity system probaly wasn't used at this time.
When adding context to my drawings you can see how much more useful they are in portraying whaat the building may look like when it has been constructed. I did this after crit feedback that my drawings lacked context. (The missing section/elevation can be laid overtop of these drawings)
The lack of different line weights in this drawing don't make it stand out as much as the one above.
Andrew, the quality of your drawings is excellent.
ReplyDeletejust a little thing to notice, when you draw the section in the existing floor, the wooden elements have to stop before the wall , the beam only has to be inside the wall. cheers
