Out of all the drawings i have done, i am almost sure that this has been the hardest one. Figuring out the 2 prospectives was a little confusing but then i realized that it was just measuring exactly as it was. I had some problem s with the lines because the prospective was too far out that i couldn’t make it straight into the points. This drawing took me some time because of all the exact measurements and all the lines that  it had. It really started to bug me that i couldn’t draw the little cone things on top of each corner. It got me mad because i tried to do it over and over but i couldn’t so i  just left it like it was on the last try. I took this drawing home to finish it, but it was very difficult to get measurements from a picture on the internet so i decided to just do the shading and stuff at home then do the rest at school. Time cut short on me so i couldn’t finish it. Out of all, this drawing had a lot of small stuff that you had to get to make it look godd, such as the small measurements for the 4 lines that stand out on top of each pillar.

The three items i drew in the hatching drawing were the coffee cup, the wine bottle, and the shot glass. I really didn’t know what items to do so i just drew the ones that i remembered on top of my head! Since we already did the pen and ink drawing, that involved a lot of hatching, this really was a good start although the other picture was way bigger and more difficult!

Title:  One Point Perspective

Dimension: 3″ x 3″

Media of each work: Drawing Pencil

Why you chose it: It’s pretty good for a city drawing.

What about the reference image you can integrate: I think that drawing the city id way harder than drawing a hallway because of all the small things you have to include.

Some interesting factoid about the artist(s). She is a middle school teacher!

I would have to say that this has so far been my best drawing. This drawing was very easy and interesting for me. I really liked it and finished it very quickly. I got really into this drawing because i really liked it. I also got all the effect and the shadow of the picture as i was told to do. The best part of this drawing was, that you were the main point. The whole picture came from you. The whole thing was almost like copying or tracing the room as if it were laid on a flat piece of paper. It was all laid in front of you, you just had to get it in your head and find the right angle, the picture would come out perfectly. All the shadows, lines that go with my vanishing point, horizontal lines and shapes came out to be drawn in a good quality. Out of all the drawings, i would have to say that this is the best one and i really liked it! Everyone that say my drawing told me that it was very good and asked me how i did that? All i told them was that i just took my time, focused, and drew it just like it was. Although my boxes for the pictures were wrong, no one noticed it but i actually made it like that because i had no more room on top of the other square. Out of the whole thing, the part that looked very weird, was the leaves on the back of the drawing behind the doors. I just drew small lines, because thats how they looked like when i say them. I just scattered them in a very orderly way, so that it could at least look like the tree and it came out like that was how you were supposed to drew them!

Dimension: 541 x 700

Why you chose it: I chose it because wolfs kill stuff than eat it which makes them a very ferocious predator!!!

What about the reference image you can integrate: The drawing is very hard because the hair/lines have to be perfect for it to be able to look real, and it does.

Some interesting factoid about the artist(s). She loves the ocean.

This drawing is a very difficult one. You have to do the exact lines of the hatching process or your drawing will be awful, like on the tree in the left. I was behind in the class so I had to rush a bit on some parts and those parts are very visible, specially on the trees. I was also one of the people that did the drawing in full scal mode so everything has to be very precise.

This is my still life. It took me some time to finish but at last, it’s done. This was mostly all about shading in, from the darkest from the lightest. The only thing that i had a problem here, was the bottle. It gave me some problems with the shape and the shading because of the light that was reflecting it. Thanks to Mr. Nelson, he helped me do that part of the drawing. It took me the most because i missed one day of school that got me behind! I had to stay after school but it was worth the grade.
