VISCOM 3 (Visual Composition)

In Art Center, product design students have viscom for each term. Viscom 1 focus on the line drawing (draw straight lines by free hand) and perspective. Viscom 2 emphasis on the shadow and shading. Now I'm in 3rd term, and so far I have 3 classes of Viscom3. Our teacher, Fredo, asks us to pay attention to composition and contrast in terms of scale, line weight, shading.... Let's see my 2nd week homework- Chess.

And let's see my 1st week homework.

Composition-wise I did better than the first week, right?

Haha I think so.

But I spent too much time on each page (A3)- almost 3 hours!!

I should sketch faster... !!

Before I came to Art Center, I didn't know how to "sketch".

I could "draw" something (slowly), but I couldn't sketch quickly.

BTW, I have never been trained before. I loved to draw when I was a child, but I stopped drawing for about 7 years. (The reason is the long story~~ haha)

And I hated to sketch product! (Because my sketch was shitty and I hated it.)

I couldn't barely draw a box in perspective in the beginning of the first term. So I've improved a lot in 9 months hehe. Still have a long way to go!

Below are some drawing I put in my entrance portfolio. 

I didn't know how to use marker (copic), and I watched some lecture video on YOUTUBE. This one was the first time I tried to use marker. But I didn't know I should draw on marker paper instead of regular paper. 

Now I don't have time to draw slowly haha. I haven't draw creature or figure for a long time. hmmm... I'll take illustration class in the next term. Hope my figure sketching can improve a lot! ;)
