Final Landscape Drawing

There is good perspective and composition in the drawing. The drawing has a rule of thirds as the drawing in the foreground is the focal point. The eye moves from the focal point to the dark tree in the middle ground and then along the bridge. It then moves along up to the house and then along the trees. Also there is another line where It moves from the focal point, along the fence and round the stream and to the bridge. The eye follows the bend in the stream and it goes to the middle ground. There are layers from the focal point in the foreground, the bridge in the middle ground and the houses in the background. This is a 1 hour 30 minute landscape showing natural and architectural surroundings.

Final Figure Drawing

The figure drawing is a 1 hour study of the male muscular form. There are many values on the person figure as the light source on the left is shining on him. There is good perspective and the proportions but the hands could have been improved. On the upper body there are many different values because pose as one he is leaning to one side. The muscular structure can be seen because of the light and dark tones and they also show the direction the muscles are going in. The shading is shows that the legs and arms are curved. Also there is some foreshortening the left leg is in front of the right but there could be an improvement in the right arm as the elbow is bent backwards.

Final Still Life

This is a 70 min still life drawing. There are a few glass object and they are reflecting the surroundings and there are overlapping without any being orphaned. The objects reflect a lot of light and the can also be seen through. There is good shading on the jug as it can be seen that it is curved and the shape has many curves. The other glass items also can be seen to be curved by the shading which adds depth and volume. The marbles in the bowl are also shaded so they look 3 dimensional and so it adds volume, mass and depth to the spheres. The cloth has many different values as there is subtle light and also the light is being reflected around the room. The object also cast a cast shadow in the background and the focal point is the metal tin which is in the rule of thirds. There is an implied line going from the tin to the jam jar and then down to the cast shows. It then travel along the bottom of the cloth and then up to the jug and bowl. There are also cast shadows being cast on the wall by other object in the room.

Natural Landscapes in Colour

The image is of a small bridge and the river running under it. It was created using pastels. Looking at the image there have been different colours used and some of them mixed together such as the shadows in the water green and blue have been mixed. The bridge has had different colours and the bridge can be seen clearly because of the layers of colours. Also there is distinct colour between the tree next to the bridge and the trees in the background which have several different shades of green. The rule of third can be applied in the single tree is the focal point and the eye leads you across the bridge and along the waterline to give you an implied line.

Modern Architecture

This image is a 1 hour drawing of modern architecture. There is depth and volume in these images as the different values have been used. The shadows affect the surfaces on these buildings and some of it is subtle light. The main light source is coming from the right hand side and the values change on the curved building and get darker as light is being blocked from reaching the other side. There is also the subtle light that is giving the reflections in the windows on the curved building. All the buildings are different shape and these shapes have shadows cast onto them. The curved building is casting a shadow on the ground. The building in the middle ground is casting a shadow too but there is a lot of glass which is reflecting a lot of light to. This is a lot different from interiors as there is less light sources outdoors than in interiors. There are also different angles as the curved building has a long curve but the other buildings mostly have straight lines.

Classical Architecture

There is good composition in this interior and it is different to exteriors because of the lighting. There are more lights indoors and there is a light in the drawing. There is good composition and perspective because of the angle of the wall and banister. There is some foreshortening in the drawing at the window because it is further away. The main focal point is the pillar which is in the rule of thirds. Line has been used most straight lines and there are many right angles but nor many curved lines. There are different types of textures in the drawing from the top of the pillar, the stone wall and the window. There are many different angles because of the foreshortening. This was a 35 minute drawing of a classical interior.
