Experimenting Line Weights

Now in my architecture drawing class we’ve been experimenting different line weight meaning we had to get a vellum size 24x36 and sketch straight lines horizontally (36’) which had to be separated by 1/8 of an inch EACH!    I used my pencil leads 4H, 2H, F, H, HB, and 3B; the assignment was to sketch 5 straight continuous lines horizontally and do the sixth (with the same lead) a dotted line until you filled your page. Then when all the class was relieved that we were almost done fessor said we had to do the same thing but now vertically using our triangles.

It was tedious.  The worst part is that I heard the professor say we were going to finish the assignment in class… turned out we had to finish during the weekend… I was doomed.

I hurried and tried to finish during class, and the professor was already giving another assignment which was our first floor plan EVER that we were going to sketch. J

I didn’t finish I got a B-  in the line weight assignment… Sucks, because it means my work was good and deserved better but because it was incomplete he took down a letter grade.
