Three Point Perspective

        We are now working on out three point perspective. We are shading using little lines going in different directions, like the drawings in the book series A Series Of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. We were taught how to use horizontal, vertical, and orthogonal lines to create the effect of looking up at a building. A oddity is required in the drawing and I have decided to make the word "HEY" because the building sort of looks like a H when you look at it the right way. I am not entirely sure how I'm going to do the Y in HEY, but I'll figure it out. I'll know if it looks weird. I really enjoy doing these perspective drawings. I've never done them before but they are really fun. I find, specifically, the shading to be fun. I don't use this technique much, but I have been incorporating it into different drawings lately.

Still Life

        So, here is one of my first big drawings in Drawing class. I'll admit, I started over two times. I guess I'm not all that used to drawing big yet. I'll try to be! So, to measure proportions, we were supposed to use that method that you always see people in movies using. Like, where they stick out their arm and shut one eye and use their pencil or something like that. Yeah. . . . I didn't do that. It kept messing me up! I did that on the first two. when I got to the third one, I didn't even bother. And that one turned out the best, Weird!

          This is a contour drawing, so one continuous line. We were also allowed to put some textures of there too. I'm proud of how my bucket turned out. The texture looks a lot like that. And I might have acidentallyonpurpose put some shading in. I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF IT WAS TOO TEMPTING. SO MANY DIFFERENT SHADES!!
