Chapter 5 in the Doyle book starts by addressing that the inclusion of human figures and automobiles in color design drawings give the viewer of those drawings a comparative reference by which the sizes of all parts of the ideas expressed can be quickly judged. Also they represent the human activity that will be happening in the space. Keeping these aspects of the drawing simple is a good thing, but adding detail that’s appropriate to the drawing is essential. Poorly drawn figures can distract the viewer from the point you are trying to get across. Human figures should blend in to the design and act as a subtle reference.  The most important quality of a scale figure is the naturalness of its proportions. Clothing drawn on the figures should be appropriate for the type of place you are creating and its climate. Personally, I found that drawing clothes presented a higher level of difficulty since the wrinkles portray many shadows and highlights. The horizon line plays an extremely important role wen drawing figures. No matter where the figure is in the image, the heads of all the people will be on or near the horizon line. When doing my perspective drawing, I found the horizon line made it much easier to make my figures proportional because it gave me a starting point. When inserting a digital image of figures into a drawing, contrasting them down to a simpler image is key. Trace the original image to create a simpler line drawing on the figure. Then you can go back in Photoshop and make them look more like a hand drawing.

                When drawing automobiles, start with their most basic shape first, and then go back in and add detail. This will help to approximate a more accurate size and scale of the vehicle in reference to the drawing. Using minimum detail on cars is important so that the attention of the viewer remains on the designed elements within the drawing. When drawing the glass on an automobile, streaks of white pencil were applied to give the feeling of glass. This chapter made me excited to explore the use of color.
