Workshop D Daylight and Shadow

This workshop showed us multiple ways of rendering simple sketches. These


ways are fast and effective. The videos showed us how the physics works
when light starts traveling and starts to interact with different shapes. These
shapes often crate shadows which has a huge impact on the buildings that
we design.

Some of these technics are water colouring, hatching etc. The reason we use
these technics can differ because of the source of light. For example, as you
can see on the picture to the right the light is coming from an artificial
source like a lamp. So, we have to crate lines from the artificial light source
to the corners of the objects that are going to crate the shadow. Then you
need to crate lines from the vanishing point so you can finally crate a
shadow. While we crated shadows using this technic, there is something
really important that we should add to the sketch which is the shade of the
object.

If I was going to talk about water colouring the first


thing that I should say is it is difficult to crate deep
shadows if you are using coffee instead of normal water
colours. But it is a fast way to give your sketch a depth
and show some scale of the room.
These are my first ideas of the project. I was thinking about how it
would look like if I gave light multiple different shapes to past
through. Sadly most of them did not make the cut.
