HAND SKILLS & MODEL MAKING

This section includes series of hand drawings, sketches, as well as the model making and furniture design projects completed before. The media used here vary depending on the nature of the project and the scheme applied. Each picture carries their own individual concept and finishes.

This picture above shows the visualization of classical baroque design. As baroque carries the notion of heavy classic patterns, crafted walls, painted ceiling design and engraved theme, this has created another challenge of how marker and pencil colour could be used compatibly to create lively and real picture. Media used : COPIC Markers, Faber Castle Pencil Colour.

PENCIL RENDERING -- LANDSCAPE GARDENS

This is about the details on shading power, background, foregrounds and midgrounds. As the pencil only casts B&W colours on the paper, different tension on how the pencil are dragged to form the gradation are emphasized. Composition is also the main concern here, where the comparison of trees, ground, house and the backyard trees must be logical. Media used : Faber Castle Pencil HB, 2B, 4B & Charcoal.

PENCIL RENDERING -- PINE RESIDENCE EXHIBITION BOOTH.

FURNITURE DESIGN -- THE "ARCHANUS" CHAIR AND TABLE SET.

FURNITURE DESIGN -- TELE CHAIR.

This is a 1 : 5 scale furniture prototype as the first starting point of furniture workshop skills. This is made manually and purely by hands, coated and polished in a form of telephone. The colours chosen were red and black as they depict the sense of bravery, encouragement and full pride. Media used : Pink densed foam, file, nylon fabric, cotton, red and black foam spray and emulsion paint.

3D FUNDAMENTALS -- PLANAR CONSTRUCTION

The picture above indicates the basic exploration of using one single art card; cut and made into rectangular forms, and curled, intersected, joined into each other. There are only 3 cut outs here, but they must somehow carry dynamic elements to form three-dimensional volume. Of course, each of them has their own meaning and inspiration. Media used : art card 200 gr.
