Logo Design

I looked forward to designing my own logo but since I personally don't like my drawing style I decided to keep it clean and simple,using just my name and a little color. I figure I have plenty of time to improve my drawing skills and then I will recreate my logo with more style but for my first attempt, this is what I got.

Conveying Depth

This drawing was to include an architectural feature and convey depth. I chose to partially open my bedroom door and capture the view from the doorknob's level. This isn't one of my better sketches, I feel it came out more for my personal view rather than a professional one.

Photograph Trace

Here is a trace I drew from a photograph of a friend. Only the main outline was necessary with minimal detail as possible.

Figure Tracing

This was an exercise in repeatedly practicing tracing figures. The point was to trace as quickly as possible without spending too much time looking at what I was tracing.

Orange

This is a simple sketch of an orange from an inside and side view. I really wanted to get all the fine details across in this sketch but I had trouble doing so. In drawing this sketch, it helped me focus on the details of an item and also made me realize I need to practice getting the details to show through in future sketches.

Crosshatching Fruit

This sketch is of a few pieces of fruit drawn using a crosshatch technique. I think it's more creative to draw this way as the crosshatching gives you more options for shading etc. I liked using this technique, it was a change from just drawing a straight line. I've even started using crosshatch whilst doodling, just so I can try enhance my skills.

My Dorm Room

This is a sketch I drew of my dorm room layout. There is a bit too much white space for my liking but the overall layout is spot on. This was good practice for me in drawing my surroundings to the right proportion and elevation.
