Need...More...Coffee...

So this one is something different. Never knew back then that 'interior elevation' existed. Haha. Some IA student I am, right. Interior elevation may look similar to a section drawing but the difference is that interior elevation start at the finished floor elevation and stop at the ceiling whereas sections cut through floors and walls.

Interior Elevation

A simple drawing but my major problem is that the OPENING SYMBOLS are all jumbled up. So that takes away most of the marks. Really.
As or the LINE THICKNESS, I think I showed it quite well in this one considering the difference in floors and ceiling lines can be seen.
GLASS PANELS. Logically glass panels have a specific dimension so yeah. And the SYMBOL needs to be added in as well. Glass symbol is the 2 lines at 45 degree angle.
It may not be clear in this picture but my drawing was a tad bit dirty. Most of the times it was because of my tools and equipment(T-square and set squares mostly) being not properly cleaned.
So a gentle reminder, always clean your drawing tools and equipment before starting a technical drawing. Cleanliness of the drawing is important.

Sectionista

Okay, so this time it's the section drawing. Basically, section drawing is where you cut part of the plan and show the inside of the building. In this case it's a house. While doing a section drawing we even cut the furniture and wall, so we have to show the section symbol of the respective materials.

Section drawing A-A and B-B

This one was a little bit tough and there was a lot of TECHNICAL MISTAKE in my part. Symbols were poorly drawn especially concerning the LINES for the opening of windows and door. And I didn't remember the symbol for WOOD studs in the ceiling. Crap.
Wrong degree of angle in the staircase RAILING of section B-B.
LINE QUALITY hasn't improve at all and FORMAT of the title. Totally forgot about the circle thingy again.
*sigh
As for the LETTERING, I think it is a little better than previous assignments. But yeah, it's still just a minor improvement.
Still need to work harder. Be more patient and careful when doing my drawings.

Missed It By That Much

As an interior archi student, one must not forget the Reflected Ceiling Plan(RCP). Similar to a normal house plan but the RCP shows the ceiling and all the electrical fittings available such as lightings. This was done based on the same house plan from the previous one. The requirements for this assignment was on an A3 size tracing paper using artline pens.

Reflected Ceiling Plan, RCP

In my opinion, the LINE QUALITY improved a bit from the previous assignments except for the LINE WEIGHT of the section cut lines. But that's just my opinion.
The fittings symbols show some IRREGULARITIES and INCONSISTENCY especially in the length of lines that makes up the lightings. Not to mention the concrete wall symbol is MISSING again.
From what I see, the LETTERINGS was quite ok in the first note but it gradually become uneven and irregular as it goes on to the second and so on.

So overall, what do you guys think about it?

Screw It, I'm Going Home

Semester break over, BAM! Orthographic drawings. Whaa. *Blink blink.
Wasn't really sure whether I remembered all the details when we did it the last time. But here goes nothing.

Ground Floor Plan

I see lots of RED. Aargh. This was a bad attempt, really. But what I noticed the major no-no here was my QUALITY OF LINES. Some lines are thick when it's supposed to be thin and vice versa. Even the floor finishes shows inconsistency in the gap between each lines.
TECHNICAL MISTAKE. Grid lines was not properly drawn, section cut went missing(Oh.My.God), and I didn't input the proper symbols for the walls, windows and even staircase direction. 
The LETTERINGS. Very inconsistent. Need a lot of practice.
TITLE. I didn't follow the format given. I'm sure to take note of that as well.

Mezzanine Floor Plan

Mezzanine floor. Thank god for the less elements that needs to be drawn in this one. 
Finally remembered the section cut. BUT I still forgot about the proper symbols for the materials and staircase direction again(Carelessness and forgetfulness are two very bad habits of mine). 
QUALITY OF LINES again. From what I see is that the thickness or darkness of the lines are very inconsistent. Even in the same element. Like the wall, I noticed that some of it are darker than the other. Proper control of the pencil needs to be practiced in order to avoid this mistake again.
The LETTERINGS for one, I didn't see much improvement from the previous assignment. And a STUPID MISTAKE which cannot be unseen where I wrote the same title as the previous assignment when it should be different.

It seems that I still have a long way to go.
