“Shadowfold: Enveloping Space Through Light and Geometry”

This drawing evokes a delicate interplay between geometry and abstraction, representing the folding of shadows as a dynamic architectural language. The composition captures the ephemeral nature of light and its transformation into precise geometric constructs, creating an architectural “envelope” that transcends its functional purpose.

The dotted and solid lines suggest boundaries, layers, and contours, offering a sense of dimensionality. The folding of shadows, indicated by the interplay of dashed arcs and intersecting planes, conveys the transition from light to darkness and back, illustrating the evolving relationship between material and immaterial spaces.

The “envelope” here serves as both metaphor and structure—a container of ideas and spatial conditions. It represents not only a physical enclosure but also the conceptual framework in which architecture interacts with its environment. The curvature and angular transitions in the diagram hint at a site-responsive approach, embracing irregularity while retaining an inherent logic.

Ultimately, this composition suggests an architectural narrative that reconciles the intangible (shadows, light) with the tangible (enclosure, geometry). It invites reflection on how space can be shaped, not merely by its physical boundaries but by the flux of time, perspective, and movement.

Going back to basics of illustration

Hey there, last week I decided to make some tutorials on how to study to level up art skills, it was originally just for a mentorship student of mine, but as I was making it, I thought "hey, this stuff might be useful to other people", so I've decided to make it more of a series of basic illustration lessons.

Here’s an example on a somewhat complex image done at level 4, which means using more than 4 tones and shapes with more than 4 sides, explanation below.

I want to make something that will give the most benefit in the long run, and decided on some fundamental stuff, like:

simple shape design value design edge variations color play texture effects In other words, things that once you know, you can use to paint basically anything with. They're some of the most useful and beautiful things I've learned and make use of every day. I'm using a RPG level system for the lessons level 1 - use only two tones, and shapes of no more than 4 sides. level 2 - same thing with 3 tones level 3 - 4 tones level 4 - 4+ tones and 4+ sides Edge variations, colors, and textures will be in level 5 and above. I might encourage most people to stay in level 1-5 until they're quite good and having a lot of fun with the process. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think! If you want to learn art, does it seem like something you'd be interested in? If you're already a seasoned artist, have you got any suggestions for me? I'll probably throw it on youtube when it's done, so feel free to sub me there: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChY-fing0SBJKxilumoeNug If you’re interested in a mentorship, or want to ask me questions, my discord is the best place for it: https://discord.gg/ZnKDUc7wyG
