Spring Break...have a good one.

-Rough SHIP block-in should be finished-

When you come back from Spring break, please have your ship shape roughed out in perspective, with a separate OL (overlay) on another layer of line detail.

-Line DETAIL on another layer-

The line detail OL is a detail layer consisting of establishing detail with counter line. That is thick and thin contour line. Avoid one solid thick line for exterior and interior detail. This will flatten your drawing.

I will be coming around and grabbing some samples from students to critique over on the large screens.

NO TONE at this time!! that is the next stage. Please see the blog, and please make sure your ship is drawing from the grid technique that I displayed in class. 

See you on Tuesday..

Have a great spring break!!! Be safe!!
