RENDERING &

TECHNICAL DRAWING

FOR THE ERGONOMICS PROJECT, WE WERE TASKED WITH COM-
PLETING A TECHNICAL DRAWING OF THE HORSEBOX INCLUDING
THE PRODUCT WE DESIGNED FOR THE PROJECT. THIS WAS THE
FIRST TECHNICAL DRAWING I HAVE EVER DONE. ONE OF THE FIRST TASKS WHEN
LEARNING HOW TO RENDER, WE
HAD TO RENDER OBSCURE SHAPES.
THIS ALLOWED US TO EXAMINE
HOW LIGHT FALLS ON THESE
SHAPES AS WELL AS HOW TO
RENDER THESE HIGHLIGHTS
CORRECTLY.
AFTER COMPLETING THE OBSCURE
SHAPES, WE WERE GIVEN KITCHEN
APPLIANCES TO RENDER USING
COLOUR. THIS WAS INTERESTING
AS THE COLOURED MARKERS WHEN
PLACED OVER THE GREYS.

WHEN FIRST LEARNING HOW TO RENDER, WE HAD TO
TRACE AN IMAGE AND RENDER USING PRO-MARKERS
AND POLYCHROME PENCILS. THIS ALLOWED US TO
UNDERSTAND HOW LIGHT AND SHADE EFFECT THE
QUALITY OF A RENDERING, AS WELL AS TEACHING US
HOW TO BLEND USING LAYERS.
