Example text
The unfinished portions will engage the viewer in filling in the blanks while keeping the drawing alive and loose— qualities that are essential for good design presentation. STAGE 5 Highlights and Reflections Finish by adding highlights and reflections using the Pro White and the small brush, keeping in mind the light direction. Similarly, add highlights as necessary to define spherical shapes. DESIGNING A SMALL INTERIOR COMPARTMENT single-person fighter cockpit Spaceship cockpits are complex spaces and function is key to making these interiors believable.
Sometimes it’s helpful to actually define the small axis with a line as I have done here. With the perspective defined, ink the final design details, refining what you sketched in Stage 1. Again, notice that I deliberately leave parts of the drawing unfinished to keep it interesting. STAGE 4 Tone Markers Establish the direction of the light source, then use the markers to give mass and form to the drawing. Work from back to front, light to dark, using Cool Grey 30%, 50%, 60% and 70%. Keep in mind the overall shape and don’t worry about defining every part with these markers.
STAGE 4 Perspective Lines Re-established Now that the design is roughed in, double-check the key perspective lines and ellipses using the triangle and ellipse guides, and then ink them to help guide the detail work in the next step. STAGE 5 Details Begin detailing the cockpit, the most complex part of the drawing. The four-part canopy is the unique aspect of this design. Make sure it looks as if it can fit together. STAGE 6 Finishing Details Define all the remaining details. Don’t worry if it looks busy and confusing; the marker tones will clarify things.
