Final Figure Drawing

  This is a 45 minute figure drawing, using a B6 pencil. The model has right proportions. This is a close form, static pose. It has a nice sense of weight as it is clear that the model is sitting on the chir, relaxed without any tension.

This drawing is good in value and depth as the selfshadows and cast shadows along with the highlights and darkest values are easily distinguished. The contrast is nice. Thanks to the lines of the chair that are partly viewable under the drapery gives away that it's transparent. The curves of the clothes and the drapery are nicely drawn as they show where the parts of the model's body affect the cloth. Also the left shoulder gives away that she is putting some amount of weight onto that hand. The structure of the muscles are drawn't well, giving away mass and that there is no tension happening in them, except partly in the right leg.

In overall this is a fairly good figure drawing. However there isn't much detail in the background. There is just a small amount of shading in it.

Final Still Life

 

This a 40 minute still life drawing, using a B6 pencil. The composition is interesting in this particular drawing as the implied line followes from the little, lying on the box, bottle up to the nail polish the to the little tube and on to the bottle of parfume where the focal point is. It also matches the rule of thirds.

There are a few different by shape and material objects. The object on the very left is transparent with a liquid inside, which is visible also the bottom of that object is viewable as well, which gives away that it's transparent. The shading is nicely done making it easy to recognize that all of the objects are from a different material. There is a nice reflection happening on the box, where the objects lie, giving a good sense of depth. The contrast is fairly good. What is interesting in this picture is that all ofthe objects have two cast shadows one of them is slightly lighter while the other one is darker.

It is a nice still life drawing, however the cropping hasn't been done properly as the top of the bottle of parfume is slightly cut off and that's where the main interest is, since it's the focal point of the picture.

Final Landscape

 

This is a 30 minute landscape drawing using a B6 pencil. The drawing has a interesting angle of view point as there is a lot of foreshortening happening in the distance and the objects in the foreground are bigger.

The composition isn't that pleasing. It is hard to find the focal point, the eye just wonders around the image a lot. The focal point however seems to be the trees behind the fence as there are a lot of lines following that direction from the roofs and the walls of the buildings. This drawing is good in depth, because ot the foreshortening and the value in the drawing. 

It's not that highly detailed, but is still viewable that the buildings are made from bricks. The sidewalk however is missing it's tiles. It has a nice contrast as the highlightes and the dark values can be easily found.

week12: Natural Landscape

 

This is a 35 landscape drawing. The composition isn't that interesting as there are mainly only a few trees that can be seen in the drawing, however one stands to be the focal point the tree in the middle, which also gets to be in line with the rule of thirds. As there are a lot of differen't colours around that tree but only that one has such a dark green hue stands out from the others. This is a good example of how colours can also affect, which will be the focal point of a drawing.

The hue that is dominating in the particular drawing is green and brown. It is not that saturated but from the total amount of colours and their value it seems like it's not a sunny weather. The background isn't detailed as well as the foreground. It seems like the trees are casting shadows, which is totatly the opposite expectation of a nonsunny weather so this drawing seems a little bit confusing.

week11: Colour

 

This is a 30 minute, colour landscape drawing. The drawing isn't rich in colour but the hue that is mostly dominates in this image is the spectrum of the green colours. The image is a bit saturated, the value of the drawing is also low so it looks like it's a cloudy, rainy weather.

In composition this is a interesting drawing as the marble egg type of thing which is upfront getting in the implied lines of the rule of thirds also there are other implied lines in the drawing making it the center of attantion, like the tree infront of it and the straight lines from behing and in front from the walls,  also the line from the tiles on the left.

It is not a highly detailed drawing as the background is just slightly coloured.

Week10:Classical Interior

 

This is a 40 minute drawin showing a Classical interior. The composition isn't that interesting as there is too little drawn. However it is a nice drawing as it has all the different, interesting shapes and object from a different material. Without going into too much detail it still shows the beauty of the Classical interior. It has a nice sence of depth and value as it's proper shaded.

However it isn't that good in contrast. Also the top of the balcony seems to have been drawn in a wrong angle. It looks a bit off when compared with the curve of the balcony itself. It is obviously not a finished drawing as the balcony on the right is half way drawn and not as highly detailed as the first one. The shadows inside the balcony seem not to be quite right as well. there is nothing drawn under the balcony making it like it's floating in thin air.

Week9:Modern Architecture

 

This is a 40 minute landscape drawing, drawn with a B6 pencil showing modern architecture.

It is an interesting drawing as it has a lot of curves and lines  that are going perpendiculary or alongside to others. It shows a good sence of depth as there is a lot of foreshortening happening in the background where the pillars are. It is also good in value, although the highlights on the glass wall aren't that easy to see.

There are a lot of issues with this drawing. The pillar that is infront on the left seems like isn't holding anything despite the fact that a roof is drawn it seems unreal. There is a part missing in this drawing the same pillar just ends into the air. The angle of the tile seems also wrong. This drawing is a bit confusing with this few mistakes and missing parts, but other than that it shows the interesing modern architecture of the National Medea Museum.
