Landscape Drawings

This is a good example of a landscape drawing. The background and the foreground are divided by the hills and the change in scale from one tree to the other . This is also shown by the size of the house on the right. The central image is the tree in the foreground which is more detailed, which, along the trunk of the tree, follows the rule of thirds. 

This is another example of a landscape drawing. Again the rule of thirds is use in this sketch but not as successfully applied to the bottom half of the composition. This image was a quick 15 minute sketch which requires more detail on the page in order to improve it.

This is another landscape drawing of a house. I sat on my garage in order to achieve this angle, which I thought was quite aesthetically pleasing. I gave myself 25 minutes to complete this sketch. I think I pressed my haad too hard on the page which has meant that I was unable to change my drawing as easily as I needed to. I think the scale of the windows could have been more accurate.

Observational Drawing

 In the picture above I had ten minutes to sketch and shade our objects (which was a box a table and some chairs covered in a sheet) I found this hard because I was not used to working at a fast pace like this .

I then had to do another drawing of the objects from a different angle but this time i had 15 minuites to do so . Again i found this hard because of the pace i had to draw in order to acomplish the drawing above.

The picture above is my final shaded observational drawing of the day. I chose a different angle to the other two and this time took 40 minutes to draw it. I found this much easier as I had longer and could concentrate on shading in order to create a 3D effect. Overall I need to increase the pace of my drawing in order to achieve a complete picture in a shorter time. I also need to commit more time to being able to concentrate on the smaller details.

Perspective Drawing

My perspective drawing is a 'Snap Shot' from the inside of the Richmond Building. I chose this angle because of the layers of depth of field in the frame. This gives the composition depth and a 3D element. If I had more time I could have added shading in order to enhance the 3D effect. I tried to sketch the people sat down as quick as I was able to before they moved too much and distorted the image. Overall however I am pleased with the image but am aware that I need to be quicker if I am to add shading, therefore advancing my observational skills.

Two Point Perspective

This two point perspective piece was of the car park in our observational drawing class. It took me about an hour and a half roughly. In this time I managed to draw the cars and the people in my drawing but only as a rough sketch so I was unable to pay the attention to detail that was required. This was so that I could pay more notice to making sure that the cars and people are the right size according to their position in the drawing. I think that the buildings took me the longest due to the fact that I was using the new drawing technique I had learnt in class the previous week. I think this technique worked well for me as using my index finger to guide the pencil produces straighter lines.
