Design Philosophy

The best thing in the world is to create something from your imagination and see it come to life. I've been making this happen for three years now and I absolutely love it. I hope one day to become a designer of custom homes, as well as themed design. I want to push the boundaries of regular design and completely toss out neutral design. I've studied abroad in France, England, Spain, and Portugal, giving me endless ideas from the past and for the future.

Back to the Basics

 No good art (or drafting) can start without knowing the basics. Although I've done it a thousand times before, practicing perspective views can really help. I found it a bit tricky to return to after moving on from it two years ago. But it made me realize just how much I left behind. I have to practice incorporating perspective into my drawings.
 Trying to draw a chair in perspective is not my strong suit... Clearly it looks a little wobbly. As I stated before, it was difficult for me to return to this sort of drawing. More practice!
I'm actually kind of proud of this one. The Seattle Public Library has long been of interest to me. Although this was not my first time drawing it, it was my first practice with drawing a building in perspective with good graphics. (For those of you who are curious, "good graphics" are displayed in this last drawing. Crossing of the corners, the "professional gap" in the lines, and the "professional dot," scattered wherever it may seem fitting, are all examples that I actually remembered to add.) I still haven't visited this building, as much as you'd expect an interior designer living in Seattle to, so that will be next on my to-do list!
