Week Nine

This interior landscape shows a very good use of lines. The lines are all at different angles to each other creating the shape of the landscape, there are no curves just straight angles lines making for an interesting picture. You can clearly see the architecture in the drawing with the downstairs next to the upstairs, creating a nice balance in the picture. Almost every line is in its correct place, showing a use of good proportions for the steps, walkway and wall. The empty space at the bottom of left is effective as it creates a more simplistic drawing as you cannot see what is downstairs. The overall shading has been done well, although more could have been added to give more dimension by varying tonal values as well. I used a 2B pencil and overall it is a successful, pleasing to the idea drawing.

This interior sketch took around 40 minutes to complete. The sketch focuses on perspective, as you can see the further away the viewers eye gets the longer the distance appears on the picture. The clean, clear lines and shading show modern architecture very well and uses a lot of solid lines that help to show this too. The curve works well connecting the wall to the rest of the picture. This sketch has a lot of depth and has been drawn from an interesting view point as you can see both the upstairs and the downstairs, including the front door. The angles of the lines are mostly correct and can be seen to follow the viewers eye down into the sketch, mostly the bottom middle lines of the tops of the small walls. The tonal values in the shading are varied creating interest and more depth which work well to show a 3 dimensional place on a 2 dimensional plane.

This interior sketch took 28 minutes using a 2B pencil. The sketch shows a good use of perspective, as the view point goes off down the stairs, demonstrating foreshortening. Although no stairs can be seen, the viewer can still see that the picture is of a staircase as for one the railings demonstrate, but also you can see both floors in one picture and the foreshortening shows this. This sketch looks very 3 dimensional and guides the images eye around with ease even though there aren't many curves, the eye can glide down the ceiling of the stairwell and up either wall. The shading is participially good on the wall lights as there are different tonal values throughout them creating depth and form. The shadows from the lights are also done effectively and add more interest to the overall picture.
