Redone 1200 work



I'm struggling with this plan to get the scene across as one of fun and games rather than Eastern block because there is so much grey in the scheme. I've added a couple of garish blue sunbeds to liven it up but the model sells the scheme much better. Lighting plan looks flash, quite pleased with that. The IT man was unimpressed that he had to change the ink just for my drawing, nothing that a bit of charm wouldn't fix though.

Work so far

150 sheets

I've really pushed myself this week, I was so behind, I knew it took a massive push to pull things together. I'm really pleased with what I've achieved considering how I felt last week and any negative feedback won't take away how proud I am of myself for the discipline that I've applied over the last few days.
Tuesday and Wednesday were re-read crit comments, adjust and redraw all plans, sections and sketches. This took til Weds avo when I had to scan at school, got stuck in traffic both ways and had to kick an attitudey brat off the scanner
(Grumble: school this week has been really stressy with people oozing attitude and getting all narky waiting for printing and not being able to get computers etc. I got told today that I was on my laptop not the computer so I should get off. Errmm try getting here and queuing in the morning to get into the library instead of strolling in at 3pm.)
Thursday was re-annotating everything. This took way longer than I thought and by 10.30pm I was writing inane drivel so decided to stop.
Friday I had a breakdown and thought there was no way I would finish but somehow I managed to pull it together and render EVERYTHING in 1 day. I thought it would look like a rush job but it looks ok apart from a few glaring errors.
Today printing and planting plan.
Printer broke down twice, I'm best friends now with the IT guy, £30 down but really pleased with the way it looks. The overall look is coherent I think..
Now, models....

Hardworks



I have been avoiding these sheets because I'm more in to the planting so I pushed myself to do these today. Technical drawing session tomorrow too which relies on these details (numbers, measuring and precision drawing, this is going to hurt)

Improving the 1:200 model



Got rid of the dishcloth trees and added some planting.  Compartments coming together now.
