Fundamentals of Architecture Design homework
I took Tyler Edlins’ CGMA class, Fundamentals of Architecture Design, last winter. Great class, great teacher. Tyler really packs in the content and every week focuses on a different historical period and painting technique.
Most of these started as blockouts in Blender. I drew the final lineart in Sketchbook Pro and added color in Photoshop.
Japanese - Starting with values.
Renaissance - Mixing styles. Creating a space with a backstory and a visual motif.
Modernism and googie - I’m not that into googie but I took the theme of “optimism for the future” to explore a slightly futuristic version of Hamburg, Germany.
India - Most of my drawings are done over 3D models, but this was paintover week so for this one the instructor provided the blockout.
Medieval - Building lineups. Focusing on distinguishing different classes of buildings.
Scifi - A modern research facility in the Amazon tracking changes to the ecosystem. The kind of place a young upstart biologist crosses their fingers they get assigned to.
Ancient architecture, starting with silhouette and bringing it into perspective.
Ancient Greece and Rome - Same setting from different angles. I went for a cliffside cemetery and mausoleum dedicated to Persephone.
