Week Six

 Week Six 

    This week we talked about texture and how that can add to a drawing. We were challenged with the skill of sketching an interior and adding texture to the sketch. It is important in interior design to add texture to not only sketches but also real-life interiors. It effects the way a room feel and how it is perceived by an individual. This is how we can differentiate contrasting materials In this chapter there were two different medias introduced, sharpie and pencil. 

       In the book I found it interesting how they shaded and detailed the windows. It adds more complexity and interest to the drawing and helps to develop it. Windows have lots of levels of reflection and tonal value. In the book it says to use broad strokes, vertical and horizontal strokes, and underlining of stone and brick. 

    Throughout the book it gave really good examples of using texture in an interior sketch. I especially like the example of the Gothic interior space, I feel it gave a good sense of space and depth to the interior. When discussing texture with ink it is seen that stroke matter to the sense of the design, the book showed different ways to express this as well as landscaping. How to describe and demonstrate what you are communicating effectively. 

I found it helpful to look online at other examples and implement them into my own. I think there is value into look at others designs to pull from and learn from their technique.
