Landscape Drawing with Natural Elements and Buildings
- Final Piece
The aim for this drawing was to draw a
piece of landscape and for it to be a highly detailed finished piece. I used
charcoal to create this drawing as a lot of the building had very dark features
and I thought I would be able to get an older feeling with charcoal rather than
pencil.
It was a very gloomy day, which makes a lot
of the features of the building very dark with little highlighted areas. I
chose a good vantage point because with my view I was able to see the different
levels of the building as well as the main features, which are the very large
chimneybreasts. This vantage point also showed a slight foreshortening view of
the building as it gets smaller the further away it is. This was a very
interesting building to draw as it has nice, complimentary shapes and with the
different shading of bricks creating this building it makes for a very
interesting drawing. With charcoal I was able to pick out the colour in the
bricks, which show various different levels of gradient that contrast from one
another.
To improve upon this drawing I would have
worked out my measurements more accurately as I missed of the top of the second
chimneybreast and had too much wasted space at the bottom of my drawing. I also
struggled with some of the features of the building like the windows, as I
don’t feel these are an accurate portrayal of what they are really like and
show no detail in them.
