One Error From Each Day
Line Quality The Bottom Line Of the letter isn't Parallel
Second Line Is not correctly drawn Shading is done wrong
Reflection
This project has made me very confident in drawing circles and lines without the help of any instrument as well as improved my visualizing skills. I could see my line quality improve during these 4 days. During the first day of the project I remember noticing how I have used isometric drawings previously without knowing. For me I just knew it as 3D drawing, which I used a lot during my schooling years. However, I was still confused about perspective drawing and isometric drawing as both of the have a similar grid pattern. Over the course of this project this confusion was cleared. I soon realized that for perspective drawing the number of vanishing points determine the angle from where the object would connect whereas in isometry it followed parallel lines.
Isometric drawing has definitely improved my 3D visualization of alphabet or any object, and how I can represent it on a 2D space. I struggled to explore curved alphabets, mainly with complex alphabets like 'S' and 'Q' however I proceeded with visualizing both the surfaces of the alphabet individually and drawing them without the reference lines interfering. I'm sure that isometric drawing will be extremely useful in my future design learning; for a person interested in fashion design, it will help me visualize the form and draping of the garment on a person.
