Hey hey hey! Im here again to continue fighting for the consistency challenge, well ya i cant just give up and im way to go to the 'real consistency'.
...
I've done a lot of line art, doodles, portrait, sketches, watercolor, etc. So now this thing is somewhat new to me, like really outside of my comfort zone and has more of an architectural approach.

"Ball of fire" - Form exercise, ligarayk, 2018
This was one of my design plates during the midterm period which consisted of 2 different figures (cube and rectangular prism).
The materials were :
- Bristol boards (12 cubes, 12 rec prisms)
- Cutters
- Glue/adhesive
- 8 x 8" w/ 2" thickness base
- Spray paint
So we were tasked to make 12 cubes with 3x3cm dimension, and 12 rectangular prisms with 1x11 dimension. And with those figures, we needed to creatively think of a concept/form that would suit all of the 24 figures.
At first, it was really hard to think of a form that has limited materials, forms and shapes.
So I seeked for inspirations from my environment.
Luckily, it so happened that I saw an image of a meteor falling from the sky, passing through the thick clouds.
I dont know where i saw the pic but it looked like this one lol It really mesmerized me so i used it as an inspiration for my design lol.
So here's my sketch of my proposed design with drawings in different views.
Concept: A ball of fire or a meteor strikibg through from the space through clouds, leaving traces of smoke and debris.
So the big cube serves as the ball of fire, the rect prims for the smoke, traces of fire and the small cubes are the debris left behind.
Instead of making the ball of fire striking below, i made it to the other way.
...
So I made the cubes first by tracing and cutting some bristol board with the said dimensions.
...
Then i did the same thing as wt the cubes in making the rectangular prisms, cut and measure.
After cutting the exact measurements, I then pasted and formed the cubes using a shoe glue.
And i did paste and form the rectangular prisms as well.
Then I started attaching the rectangular prisms just like as what I have drawn. I spray painted the figures afterwards.
I used a silver paint since my base is black, so it would really emphasize the form.
After the paint dried, I then attached the cubes forming another big cube and put the remaining figures on the side.
Then i attached the whole form to the base using a glue stick.
...
I finalized everything, and then doneee!
