From the list above I need to take an item and explore it visually to become aware of its textures, physical qualities and function. What is the item for – what does it do? Next, I need to create an objective drawing of the object on an A4 sheet using a pencil or fine liner. The aim is to achieve a drawing that has a high degree of visual accuracy and is technically controlled.
For an objective drawing from the list provided I’ve chosen my summer Michael Kors jeans hat. I took a high-resolution photograph of it to examine its texture. From that photograph, I could see that lines go from this right top corner to an angle to the bottom. Additional parts of the hat are the metal logo, and metal staples for ventilation. As jeans are hard material themselves, it has rough thick stitches on the lines where the fabric has been joined. Also, there are some cross lines, but they are more represented like dots. I’ve made a first sketch of the hat with a quick outlined drawing. After I proceeded with a pencil drawing, highlighting the details of the hat’s texture. As a result, I’ve got a quite precise and visually accurate drawing of my hat, with all fine lines and jeans texture.
