in My Work

Final Assignment

The main purpose of my experiment sketches is to practice drawing hand gestures via holding objects of various shapes and sizes. Different background were also drawn to find inspiration for my final piece. The different ideas revolve around nature.

Experiment Sketch 1

I have started with an easier hand gesture – holding a piece of paper.

With the hand located in the middle of the drawing, I wanted to see if it was a suitable location for landscape drawings with a path.

Experiment Sketch 2

I have drawn a person sitting at the road side while holding a plant in his/her palm. Both the hands and laps of the person were shown. I wanted to experiment the effect of involving and putting in a greater portion of the person (more than just a limb). However, it appears to be a bad idea as the person would likely be facing down, hence limiting his sight and missing a better and more comprehensive view of the foreground/middle ground/background as depicted in the sketches through the car wheels.

Experiment Sketch 3

The last experiment sketch was a rough sketch of the idea I have for my final piece. The person is holding a binoculars and exploring a jungle.


Final Piece

In this final piece, I am standing on a pathway that would lead me to a stairs that brings hikers to the peak of the mountain. Before moving on, I would like to spend some time taking a good look at the sight I am seeing, admire the nature – how the mountains overlap one another etc, and consider the effort put in by men to make the mountains safe and accessible for the hikers. I hold onto my binoculars with both hands and handle it with care. My left index finger is making some slight adjustments to the binoculars before using it.

I have never been hiking before. I often imagine how it would be standing at the peak of the mountain and admire the scenery which we will not see in a busy urban city. Binoculars would be essential to have a better view of the magnificent sight and observe all the details. With such a view, it will definitely make me appreciate nature more and put in even more effort to conserve the environment.
