The Corinthian Order

The Corinthian is stated to be the most ornate of the orders, characterized by slender fluted columns and elaborate capitals decorated with acanthus leaves and scrolls. The Corinthian order is the last chronologically of the three principal classical orders of ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The other two are the Doric Order which was the earliest, followed by the Ionic Order.

For Drawing and drafting, we drew this column on frosted mylar paper with micron ink pens. 

This is the final Product. It has over 20 hours of work in it and the real challenge was waiting for the ink to dry before moving to another section of the column to keep from smearing.




This is a close up showing the detail of the ink. The idea was to focus on shade and shadow using ink lines.
