18 Parallel Projections


This set of 18 sketches is essentially composed of two halves: the first nine,a rectangular volume drawn from one direction, and the second 9, the same volumes from a reverse angle. I have uniquely combined one of the 18 axonometric sketches, as below, with another one, and then redrawn them from the reverse angle.
The shading techniques reflect my quotes.
-The sketches based on Campbell's quote, "I just want to know how everything works", are typically drawn to allow the viewer an x-ray view of the volume. Dotted lines and special shading techniques allow a degree of transparency to the blocks.
-Those sketches based on Cousteau's quote, "From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders...", are typically more solid, intricate, precise, and yet dynamic, reflecting the environmental and scientific works of Jacques Yves Cousteau.
