Welcome To My Blog

 Hello!!!

Welcome to my Blog! My name is Muhammad Aniq Bin Adnan and I am from Malaysia. I am a student from DMUIC and I am doing architecture. My specialism is designing buildings and creating different perspective drawings. However, I love digital software, editing, creating digital art and photography. I will be using this as a medium to share all of my work and thoughts towards different types of art. I welcome everyone to my blog as I share my experience throughout DMUIC. Selamat Datang!!

I will start off by sharing what I have been researching that I find very interesting and love. Recently I have been looking at perspective drawings and how artists can capture the world around them and sketch it. Denver-based urban sketcher Paul Heaston takes his sketchbook everywhere he goes, capturing the world around him. Each line that he sketches shows a glimpse of his life. Carbon ink pens and pencils are often used to sketch a "perfect perspective", revealing scenes from an artist's point of view. The image above is from MY MODERN MET website (https://mymodernmet.com/) with the topic "This Artist Creates Incredible Drawing of the Room He's in From His Perspective" by Emma Taggart on September 18, 2019.

Although supported by scarce evidence, there are multiple attempts to develop a system of perspective that began around the fifth century B.C. in ancient Greece, as part of an interest in illusionism allied to theatrical scenery. However, even though perspective drawings were created by artists during the fifth century, there is no evidence that artists understood mathematically how to represent the art.


“... What happens is of little significance compared with the stories we tell ourselves about what happens. Events matter little, only stories of events affect us.” – Rabih Alameddine.

The image above was from P. Fannius Synistor Cubiculum M alcove, a Panel with the temple at the east end of the alcove, the north end of the east wall Middle of the first century B.C. Boscoreale (Pompeii), Italy. Though Publius Fannius Synistor is still most commonly referred to as the villa's owner ever since his name was found inscribed in a bronze jug in the agricultural sector of the villa, it is not clear if he ever actually owned the structure or just worked in it.

As an Architecture student, it is a must to know the history of perspective drawings and some of the perspective drawings from the past. I usually sketch my perspective drawings in black and white. However it is better to add colour to your drawings, this will show more life and it will show more about what is happening around you. I have created most of my sketches in black and white, and some with watercolours. The most interesting thing about perspective drawing is how you can show people your perspective towards anything and how you see things differently. Other people's perspective is one of the ways you can understand and learn more about something whether it is scenery or buildings. In architecture, it is not always about how you see things, it is also important to see other people's perspectives to learn more and improve on your work.
