Final Contour Site Model

I have revised and improved my contour site model and mass and void. The hole in my contour site model now has a defined depth. It is still a deep hole that sinks into the landscape. The mass and void has now been inspired from my paper model. It better represents the curvaceous form of my original ink blot and contour drawing. It blends in and is harmonious with the contour site model.

Presentation Pin-Up Critique

These photographs are of most of my project work pinned up before the initial critique. I have organised my work in a logical order so it can be easily followed.

Initial Contour Model Trials

Firstly I made the basic shape my contour sire model would be. It is only of a section of my contour drawing as I wanted to show it in detail. If the contour site model had been of the whole contour drawing there would have been too many small parts.

I raised the base of the model to allow the mass and void model to look as though it was being sucked into the hole.

The mass and void is made to represent the angular spaces which were created in my wood model.

Final Refined Contour Drawing

As intended i have kept to the contour drawings original form as much as possible. This ensures I don't lose the feeling of the contours and they clearly relate to one another.

Acetate Contour Model

I have transfered my refined contour drawing to an acetate model to show interior spaces that can be created. I have chosen to use a cube as the platonic solid shape as it fits most of my contours onto it. The acetate model clearly shows relationships between different shapes formed by the contours. This model was difficult to construct cleanly, but I believe I have created a professional finish to my model.

Refined Contours (Trials)

Using instruments I have refined my original contour drawing. I have tried to keep to the original forms and shapes of the contours as much as possible.

My refined contours show a clearer and cleaner image of the original contour drawing and can clearly be related back.

Rendered Contour Drawings

I have experimented using different types of rendering over my contours. They show how the contours vary from each other in different ways.

Hatching

Far Cross Hatching

Close Cross Hatching

Close Cross Hatching Final

I have chosen the close cross hatching as my final rendering. I believe it best shows the differentiation between the contours and the changing directions ensures the contours do not mold into one another.

Contour Drawings

These contour drawings are based off my chosen ink blot from the previous post. The contours are influenced by the varying tones in the ink and the shapes the ink creates. I have experimented using varying line weights to show different heights in the contours. The light line weight contours are low and furthest away. The darker line weight contours and higher and closer. The final image is the contour map I will continue with as it best shows line weights and the varying contours.
