This section showcases two hand-rendered drawings that reflect my foundational design skills and attention to detail. One piece is completed in graphite pencil, emphasizing form, line work, and shading, while the other combines markers and colored pencil to explore texture, color, and visual impact. These works highlight my ability to communicate design ideas through traditional drawing techniques.
Living Room Perspective – Graphite Pencil Drawing
This hand-drawn interior perspective was created using graphite pencil to explore form, shading, and architectural detail. The space features a double-height living room with dramatic windows, a sectional sofa, and layered textures from tile to textiles. Careful attention was given to light source, scale, and perspective to communicate depth and spatial relationships clearly.
Bold Bedroom Concept – Marker and Colored Pencil Rendering
This vibrant bedroom design combines marker and colored pencil to create a rich, expressive presentation. Featuring a deep navy palette accented with bold florals, the rendering showcases a dramatic feature wall, modern lighting, and coordinated furnishings. The drawing emphasizes color balance, material representation, and mood.
