NOGUCHI COFFEE TABLE              
UPHOLSTERED CHAIR                    
OLD BOOK                                  

HAND-RENDERING TECHNIQUES        

Below are examples of materials or images that I have drawn, using only Prismacolor markers and pencils. No computers were of help to this process. I'd be happy to show you more! These are a select few that I have chosen, that I feel will best represent my abilities.

This rendering was done of Isamu Noguchi's coffee table, manufactured by Herman Miller. To the right is a photo of it, however not the exact photo that this was based off of, because that photo seems to be very hard to find on the internet. However, this photo is the next best thing.

 

This rendering was done of an upholstered arm chair, which was used as an example in class, to teach us how to execute fabric. To the right is a photo of it, for your reference. Forgive me for the quality of the photo--it is a picture of a picture--I couldn't find the digital copy!

 

This rendering was done of an old book, found by simply typing "old book" into Google. The marker underlay consists of blush pink, and light yellow marker layers. Colored pencils really helped me achieve the burnt red color, using layers of brown and a brick color. To the right, is the photo that this drawing was based on. This is also a picture of a picture.

 

LIVING ROOM                               

This image was done for a project called "Photo Layer". For this, we conducted studies, such as a grayscale study, a quick sketch study, and a lineweight study. That means that we drew three separate copies of this image, plus the final rendering: one in grayscale, one in lineweights, etc. This technique aided us in rendering the final piece.

A Little About Zoe

 

Zoe grew up in a couple of different Floridian cities, the first of which being Indialantic, a small island community right off of the coast of Melbourne. Most recently (before her four years in Tallahassee), she lived in the Bay Area, and now lives there again after completing her Bachelor's degree. In her free time she enjoys being in nature and spending time with her family. Throughout her life, she has dabbled in many creative endeavors. She has had experience in painting, writing, music production, singing, DJing, acting, modeling, photo editing, photography and now, design. When a designer shapes a space, s/he shapes the experiences of the people within that space. She believes that design is a powerful tool as a marriage of psychology and art, and refining the use of this tool can change and inspire any person who comes into contact with the design. Zoe is determined to change lives by creating the most comfortable and sustainable future possible for the people, for herself, and for the wellness of the world. 

Success!
