So throughout the project so far, I've been attempting to translate my inspiration into a style that I'm not so familiar with: technical drawing. I chose this style because I wanted to work with a little more restriction, but also just to expand my portfolio and perfect something new over the course of this unit. However, after a group crit I realised that if I wanted my drawings to be accurate, I needed to start making use of the technology that I have around me, because even though when I'm drawing by hand I am trying to measure them so precisely, sometimes they do come up a little off. So it was suggested that I started working in Adobe Illustrator and using the accuracy the programme has to offer, in order to perfect my drawings. I started off just experimenting with the tools, and watching a few youtube tutorials, and then I began to translate pieces of jewellery I'd seen in the antique stores into this technical style.
This definitely improved the look of my drawings, giving them a much sharper aesthetic but I'm a bit unsure on the outcome, they've lost a lot of the detail that my hand drawn pieces have, so I need to look into this in future and find away around it.
