Final Major Project - Contrasted Architecture

FMP - Contrasted Architecture

Working from my previous drawings I moved on to work digitally on illustrator and create vector drawings. I find this method very useful as you can create a wide variety of shapes from drawings you have produced yourself.

Layering shapes/vector drawings is something I find useful.

Although this isn't a colour palette I particularly like, the shapes all mixed together work lovely as a composition. I like how the negative space contributes to the piece as an overall.

I like how the drawing still represents that the lines I originally drew weren't accurate, this works effectively and is different to creating quick straight lines.
 
Working from my own photography is something that is useful to use on illustrator as I can create drawings if I didn't create any at the time.

Firstly, I wanted to focus on the negative areas of the photograph, such as where the sky met the building and the shape it made. However, there was too much of the page taken up by the grey colour, therefore I added white shapes to represent the windows and smaller negative shapes. It is lovely to see the two next to each other.

Simple line drawings can work effectively. These shapes could be inspiration to develop, e.g. with printmaking.

 
With illustrator you can create simple shapes (below) or more detailed drawings with more lines (above). Yet again, I like to see the difference between both of the digital drawings.


 

This building was very complex and abstract in its structure therefore I thought it would look lovely as a vector drawing, which it turned out it did.
