MY OLD SCHOOL Techniques

Last night, I gave a one on one tutorial on
How to create a One Point Perspective &
Watercolor Rendering to my daughter Beyya.

One Point Perspective

Watercolor Rendering

I told her that I learned this technique
not in university nor in YouTube (80's of course...).
I learned this thru my Mentor Architect Jun Paragas.

Those were the days that we are literally cut the
image from magazine & paste that image to our perspectives.

Old school is hard but also fun, we thought how to be
resourceful to find quick and clever ways to finish
our school project.

hmmm..paused for a few minutes...'coz....

I am still recollecting all my university lessons...
but none of those lessons thought me what I am today.
All the skills I gained was only during on, one on one
tutorials from my friends,during a sideline jobs,
from a senior architects, from old drawing books I bought
along Recto St., Phils. and from my Father.

Maybe, from my 100% long stay in university...
I can say 30% of that is a real education.

Happy schooling.

How to write like an ARCHITECT

How to write like an ARCHITECT

I remember when I was in college we were thought
how to write in our drawings using pencil,t-square
and a triangle ruler.

I consider this writing is an art, the more consistent
your vertical strokes and curves gives your drawing
neat & professional look.

Yesterday, I notice my daughter handwriting (lettering)
on her drawing plate. It is good but it doesn't look
professional.I commented on it and show her how to
do it professionally without using lettering guide.

How to use 30x60 Triangle

23 September 2013

After I reviewed my daughters course manual, told her that she needs to
practice her drafting skills (as in manual drawing on drafting board).

And she replied...what is 30x60?

Last night I took out my old A3 size drafting board and my
more than 10 year old adjustable triangle and started to teach her
to use 30 x 60 triangle and how to create isometric drawing.
