How to draw a croIssant?
Draw it as an architectural
OVERVIEW
The first module of semester were learning to measure a croissant and construct orthographic projection drawings by hand.
Exploring representation through orthographic and axonometric drawings and considering the depth, texture and line weight in shading and line-using works. You will learn to use drawing equipment appropriately and explore techniques of hatching and shading. The photograph and scanning taken in elevation, plan, bottom and cut section. Dimensions were measured, and the photos were composed on an a3 sheet with a ratio of 1:1 to represent the actual croissant as accurate as possible.

PREPARATION
The first stage was using camera, backdrops and lights to set up a photo stage. Photos taken from the plan views of the top and underside of the croissant were taken, followed by the front and side elevations. After that, cutting the croissant into four pieces. Using a scanner to obtain a flat image of three sections of the croissant.
The next stage is using photoshop to fixed up the everything else. The more time take getting a great photo equals the less time in photoshop and vice versa.

START DRAWING
Commence drawing, place the photo stage on the table with a tracing paper place over it. Using tap to fix them ensure it will not move when tracing it. Line hierarchy was crucial for orthographic projection and it was realized via variation in the equipment. First, use fine liner to create a clear and bold boundary. Second, a 6b pencil or a 0.4mm fine liner was used to draw the dark shadows and section cuts for the purpose of illustrating depth to form the comparison.
The next stage of this module involved producing axonometric projections of each croissant, which was a new drawing concept. Using gird to set the point on the edge of each section drawing. Put horizontal and vertical axis to help mark the point of intersection between the section lines and the gird lines . These markings would provide a guide for the succeeding axonometric drawings of the croissant sections. Finally use tiny symbols to distinguish the sections
