Week 6: Man‐made forms in detail ‐ vehicles

National Industrial Museum

Man-made forms are highly detailed and the materials used for their creation highly influences the highlights and shadows. Smooth surfaces have higher light reflectivity, which leaves blank spots due to the polished surface.
The vantage point is focused on the vehicle which is situated in between two other, represented as rough shadows. This is used to show the composition and the surroundings. As the main focus is on the man-made the other cars are expressed as shadows.
 The strongest reflection of the light source is being expressed by the white areas on the fender. The shape of it is not only a key factor for capturing the nature of the material but also a way to show the shape of the object.  The cast shadow below the main body is slightly dispersed due to the high number of illumination sources.
 The tonal variety on colours is based on the specter of colour and the material. Less polished and shiny surfaces are being depicted by mixture of lines with different angle. Usually they follow the shape of the subject and the construction of it.
As the back wheel is not visible, additional calculation and observation has helped for its positioning and shape.
