February 9, 11 – Shoe Using Different Line Types

1. gesture  — quick  drawing that captures form and proportions with out focusing on detail

I think this one was not successful personally. I also tried a different material with this one which I liked but was too messy so I continued with a consistent utensil after this one. I also focused a little too much on detail which was not the point.

2. contour — much slower pace where you work in one continuous line describing the edges of the form

I think this one accomplished the goal of a contour. Not the best and the proportions are off.

3. searching line— a repeating line where you go over and over the shape of the form until you get the exact location

This one felt very messy even though I know it was supposed to be.

4. scribble line — just that, loose and gestural a scribble drawing that does pay attention to detail as well as form

Terrible to do because I wasn’t sure of my lines ever during this one.

5. organizational line — the basis for the formal organization of the shapes in your object, starting with a diagram, plotting out the top bottom and sides with straight lines, the organizational lines extend beyond the object as a scaffolding

I liked this one because I could plan it out and add as much detail as I could and I think I got the proportions pretty spot on.
