Renderings Cont'd

To continue on my renderings I've showcased in my past blogs I'd like to show some more of my work. My favorite part of finishing a project is adding that extra touch by colouring it all in. Rendering helps show your client what the final product is going to turn out like. By using texture and contrast of colours in the renderings it will help show your client the design elements and principles of your design.

In this project I was given, it was an elevation of a living space showing a lounge chair, a window with window coverings, and a planter. We were told to render it in how we would like the space to feel and become.

Rendering of a Living Space

I used a light tan colour on the walls to give the space a rustic feel. I also gave the couch a darker tan leather to contrast with the walls and I played with the same dark hue in the millwork. I gave the window a soft sheer drapery to give the space some softness and some naturalistic colours with the plants. I enjoyed doing this project because it gives the student some freedom of mind, it allows the student to do whatever they want with the space and play with colours that they want in the space.



 

Rendering Shadow of a Bedroom



This project was given to us where we were told to design a one point perspective of a bedroom. With using this space which was very minimalistic we were told to use one colour to give the project shadow from the window to the right of the bed. I enjoyed doing this project because it helps the student know how to shade in their drawing. When doing this I never really realized where to give the bed shadow until I looked at my bed and how the window in my room casted a shadow upon my bed. It's very interesting knowing that colouring in a project can bring life to your drawings.

Project Rendering

I took a class that was all about rendering. Rendering if you don`t know is a fancy word for colouring your design. Basically we as designers have to buy the most expensive coloring markers out there. I usually buy the 50 pack of kids markers that I think do the trick but I was really wrong. I had to buy markers called Prismacolor you get 10 markers for $50 which is pretty pricey for a design student that needs close to 100. But the quality you receive from the product is amazing. I learned about shading, contrast, and detailed drawing methods.

Here are some examples I have of my renderings:




Rendering of a living space



Second rendering of same living space

We were given a living space and asked to render it. The living space shows a dining room that transitions into a living and entertaining space. The route I decided to take was for both drawings to have hardwood flooring throughout the living and entertaining areas. and tile in the dining space to show the transition between the two areas.

In the first drawing, I used a white oak flooring with a nice white shag carpet for softness with red leather sofas for some punch. I used dark wood for the millwork with some soft greens in the plants to add a nature aspect to the space. For the dining area I used a nice dark color in the terracotta tile with a luxurious glass top dining table and a soft grey fabric on the upholstery to accent the space.
I really enjoy the over all feel of the space. It feels really airy with all the soft tones it feels all together really fresh.

In the second rendering I went for more of a cozy appeal with some really heavy colours. I used a dark wood on the floors that give the space a real rustic look. To accent the heavy, I used a nice soft grey rug under the dark blue upholstery to add some fun to the space. Through the dining room I used a grey marble tile to tie in with the living space that has a similar hue of colour in the rug. To add some luxury, I used a glass top table with leather dining chairs that tie in with the hardwood throughout. I also really enjoy this space it gives off a really rustic and cozy feel.
