How to draw Oblique to 1-Point Perspective & Isometric to 2-Point Perspective Drawing Made Easy

Advanced Systematic Design (Pattern) Generation - Idea (Pattern) Generator - by Daniel Lim

This set of animation shows an advanced systematic design (pattern) generation. A variety of change is introduced to create even more pattern designs. The image below show some of the variations you can play with to modify and evolve your patterns.

The next image illustrates for you an example of how an ideation process to design a cup coaster using the Advanced Systematic Design (Pattern) Generation may look like:

The final image from this post below shows a suggested the ideation process up to development of a selected coaster design. Within it are detailed instructions and information on what should take note and include in your design journal.

Idea (Pattern) Generation using THREE CIRCLES

The Secondary ONEs (2011) learned how to make use of the combination of THREE circles to generate an infinite number of design patterns. For maximum effect, stick with one arrangement of THREE CIRCLES and join them up in as many ways you can think of before you change the positions of the circles for the next set of idea patterns.

You might be interested to know that this simple technique of arranging shapes and joining them are very important drawing basics. Artists and designers arrange, position and join various shapes to create interesting forms in their drafting stage (or at least I do...).

The image below shows various options you can adopt to start modifying your initial THREE circle patterns and begin your journey to endless (pattern) idea possibilities:

Have fun!

Shapes and Forms - the Difference Between Them

All objects are made up of a combination of shapes and forms. So it is necessary to first understand what shapes and forms are and later learn how they are used to make beautiful objects.

The animation shows the difference between a shape and a form. You may be interested to know that both shapes and forms can either be geometric or organic.
