Line, Contrast, and Emotion
One of my first design projects while studying at TCU was to show contrasting principles using only ink pens. I started by sketching plenty of thumbnails before remaining with my ideas and progressing to the ink finals. The principles represented are rough vs. smooth, compression vs. expansion, and modern vs. traditional. The concepts are shown below respectively.
Drawing projects
As a first-year design student, I was challenged to improve my physical drawing skills before transferring to digital media. Learning mediums like pen and ink, with varying methods, improved my technical skills.
Sketches
One of the most important skills of a designer is the ability to sketch by hand. These skills help visualize variations of a project before digitising.
