Exercise session (week 1 - week 3)
At first, everything is new especially using online class makes it more interesting, but due to the bad connection, the lecture cannot be held on well. There were only few of us, so is easier to get closer to Mr Redzwan, but the saddest thing is that we can't meet each other in real life.
One week later,I start missing the actual class, because of the MCO we might not be able to go to workshops, and I'm quite looking forwards to the workshops. The sketchbook task is quite fun, it helps me to improve my drawing skill, and I drew something that I never draw before, which I also weak at, so it is very useful to have such a sketchbook task. The lines were very important, it might bring the volume, lighting, and shadowing of the items. So far, this module is very interesting and really looking forward to Project 1.
Project 1 ( week 4 - week 7 )
It was a challenge to me, it was because this is the first time to design 5 vehicles, even it is redesign base on the actual object, i feel very difficult to have a good design. I thought finding object might be the easier part of this project, but im wrong, it is hard to find something is suitable.
During the process, Mr Redzwan's feedback help me a lots, i manage to draw better and come out with a better design. It is fun while the final design and coloring is done, because the image of the original objects always come in mind, and i had recreate it into vehicles! The coloring was the hardest parts for me, i had tried very hard to color as authentic as i can. Overall, i am quite satisfy on my few vehicles.
Project 2 ( week 8 - week 10 )
We were required to design vehicles again, but there was a little different from project 1. We were asked to use 3D sketch up to build up the vehicle first. We could use our imagination, and takes different parts of different vehicles and combine them together and becoming a new vehicle. Honestly, the tools and function of 3D sketch up is easy to understand and easy to use but it quite bothers because it can only move by mouse and a little of shortcut key, which means every move needs to manually move it.
Even though i had already created the model of vehicles in 3D sketch up, it still took me lots of time to draw the outline of the 3 vehicles from different perspectives. Besides of drawing one by one using the brush as last time in project 1, this time i am using the airbrush tool and watercolor tool to render the vehicles and shadowing it. It is faster than i expect, and the outcome is quite nice. My favorite part of this project is writing the story for the vehicles because i like Zombies theme since i was young, and finally i can create my own vehicles with my own storyline.
Final Project ( week 11 - week 14 )
Finally, for this project, we were creating props. We were required to recreate the toy gun that we had bought. It is quite hard for me, because i am bad on DIY, i would try my best to do it and it is very interesting to create my own gun.
It is not an easy task, i take longer time than i thought to finish cutting the yoga foam, but it was also very interesting.I had lots of fun while creating it.
