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.
