Final sketches




Below are five final sketches. I used photoshop and scanned in my own sketches of different views of the boat shed such as: elevation, section, plan, perspective and an extra view of my own choice. 

This is an elevation.

This is an elevation. This elevation clearly proves that my boat shed is the on on the end as there is a grassy patch next to it. The indication of the water tells you which way the boat shed is facing. 

This is a plan. The paintings and drawings surrounding my boat shed are my hobbies. They are done by me and describes the fact that I am a fine arts student and I love to be surrounded by paintings and drawings. The drawings are also seen on the bottom left hand wall of this plan. 

This is a section. The tiles on either side of the sketch up modle represents my nationality and the colours of the tiles are in the bathroom. 

This is a perspective. In the right hand corner is my own pencil perspective of my boat shed. 

This is a random view I choose because it shows a different perspective of my boat shed. The images of food at the bottom indicate that the kitchen is below the beds and the ladder. The food is Indian/ Portugues and is basically what I grew up eating and still eat. 








Cry Engine

Below is the link to my CryEngine video incase the video that Ive put below doesn't play. The quality of the video is very poor and the objects are not in their respected places although it gives you an idea of what my boat shed looks like and feels like.

Developed model of Boatshed on SketchUp


This is my first final photoshop sketch. It includes my final section view. 

This is my second final photoshop sketch. It includes my final plan view. 

This is an overall photoshop sketch. It shows/ displays the overall idea of my boat shed. 





Below are my final sketches of the boat shed. 

This is my boat shed plan. 

This is my boat shed section.

This is my boat shed elevation. 

This is a side elevation of my boat shed.

This is a perspective sketch of my boat shed. 



I realised that my SketchUp model was lacking colour and seemed pretty empty so I decided to add more of myself into my boatshed through the furniture, tiles, colours and my own drawings/paintings. All these things represents my hobbies, nationality and my love for fine arts.

This is an roof elevation as it briefly describes the quantity of the space the boatshed is in.

This side elevation shows the kitchen window plus a Christmas tree and an out-door chair. The Christmas tree was something I recently decided to add to the out side of my boat shed because when I was growing up we had a very tall Christmas tree right out side my bedroom window.

Although my bathroom is very simple, sometimes less is more. I chose the colour scheme: blue and white for the bathroom because being half Portuguese blue tiles are very common in typical Portuguese homes.   

The guitar in the bottom right hand corner represents my hobbies as I love: playing the piano, singing and playing the guitar. Its something I do in my spare time and I was inspired to learn to play the guitar as my dad has been playing classical guitar throughout my childhood.

The lantern hanging from the ceiling represents the Indian half of me. I grew up on the West coast of India( a place called Goa) and always went to the beach and something I noticed at most of the beaches in my home town was:in the beach shacks there would be normal bulb lighting but also a lot of lantern lights. Its something that always caught my eye. The pictures behind the lantern are paintings and drawings done by me that have simply been pasted into SketchUp. I enjoy painting and drawing portraits and I would say that portraiture is one of my strengths when it comes to Fine Arts.

The object with the cream and blue cushions is known as a divan. Divans are basically Indian couches/ sofas but with out a back. It doesn't have a back because it can also be used as a bed. This is a unique furniture item that shows a different aspect of my nationality.

Though my boat shed might seem a bit too practice, it has various aspects about me, my nationality and hobbies. All you have to do is take a closer look.  

The tiles on the glass dining table shows a traditional Portuguese pattern. I had originally planned to put these tiles on the kitchen wall but it would refuse to work( or maybe I was doing something wrong). I think it looks nice on the table because tiled tables is also a Portuguese tradition. Therefor showing/ describing more of my mixed nationality.

Sketch up !

Below are some views of my boat shed in the making. The different angles of each picture gives you a variety of perspective.


 






 


 

More sketches

Below are the draft sketches of my boat shed.

This is a rough perspective sketch of my boat shed.

This is a section sketch, looking at the inside of the boat shed from the front of it.

This is a section sketch of the left wall. The front of the boat shed is to the left.


This is a perspective sketch of the back of the right side of the boat shed. It looks very plain because I haven't  got many ideas of how to fill up the space yet.  



This is a plan of part of my ceiling. The circles are port holes which are mainly found on ships. When I was a little kid my dad was a chief engineer on a cargo ship so my mum and I would go sailing all around the world with him. I thought it would look interesting plus it tells a bit about my childhood. The glow in the dark stars on the ceiling is something I currently have in my room at home and I love them because they actually give off quite a bit of light and look pretty cool in the dark.



This is a pattern of a Portuguese tile. I plan to try and have some sort of tiled area somewhere in my boat shed, preferably in the kitchen. These Portuguese tiles are very common in my home town.

This is a charcoal drawing of the boat shed door with detail such as: the handles, the locks and the number of the boat shed.

This charcoal drawing shows what the boat shed would look like with natural lighting falling on it.

This is a perspective view of the boat sheds.

This is a more defined perspective sketch of the row of boat sheds.

About me: I am 19, I grew up in a part of India on the West coast to be precise, which was taken over by Portugal. Therefore I am both Indian and Portuguese and Indian as my ancestors are Portuguese and Indian plus my last name is Portuguese. When I was barley 3 or 4 years of age I used to go sailing to various parts of the world with my dad and mum as my dad was a chief engineer. I love drawing, singing, playing the piano and the guitar. Hopefully my boat she is able to portray to others little snippets about me.

Trip through Wellington city

On Friday (28th Feb) our Space class walked through Wellington city and drew quick sketches of the structures around us. Below are the sketches I drew that day. My main focus is the boat sheds and how I can manipulate them to the best of my ability to portray my journey/ who I am.
