In our first class, we were encouraged to explore the drawing of textures with a focus on varying line weights. More just as a practice exercise rather than a direct consideration of our client. Some of my textures were inspired by real-life surfaces (such as wood, zebra stripes, broken glass and tiles) while others were completely abstract.
3D Textures: A suggestion proposed by Martin during our 2nd tutorial was to explore how textures manifest or change in 3-dimensions. These are some of my quick sketches that explored this idea using a cube to understand the interplay of light and dark.
Pencil Rubbing: An idea inspired from a workshop at my After-School Care job from working with kids was to explore how real-life textures could be revealed through pencil rubbing. At the suggestion of Martin, I went back over these with pen to reveal and highlight certain elements (as shown by the top 2 pictures of the same texture with and without pen).

CJ Hendry's Cubes: Furthering the concept of 3D textures, I wanted to try incorporate the weathered cubes found in the sculptures of CJ Hendry into the design. This lead to the design of the spiral staircase that uses each of the cubes as the individual steps.
