AD Marker Practice

Today I wanted to work on even and graded washes, as well as layering colors and using an AD blender. I found that when creating two even washes one horizontal and the other vertical, that it makes a nice even color with little to no marker lines visible. For the graded washes on this page, I started with a gray bottom layer staring from cool 9, 7, 5, then 3. After that I drew a top layer with a colored marker to see the shadow it creates. I did this again but blended the gray layer with the blender to make a smother tone transition. I also tried creating new colors with the blender.

My Design Philosophy

I see design as a way to solve problems in a different, innovate of way. The solution to problems in the built environment are not something that can be solved through conventional ways, it takes critical thinking, a keen eye for details and an oddball thinker. There is an art to solving problems and I believe that sometimes, answers are not right in front of us,the right answers are felt but cannot be understood, it is an answer that is abstract, we can not perceive it but yet we understand it in our subconscious. Nature has solved most of our problems, I believe that we just have to see things as nature does, abstractly, with the usage of colors, textures, spatial orientations and new ways of thinking.
