This week I have concentrated on perspective which is something that should be used in any observational drawing as without the right perspective the drawing will look nothing like the actual thing. To start I drew a large building in two point perspective which is situated behind the Horton building at Uni. I felt that this drawing didn't look right, simply due to the proportions of the roof and that some horizontal lines were parallel and therefore didn't have a vanishing point which in turn gave the drawing no constant perspective which made it look unusual.

Once I stopped this drawing I moved on to a small bollard (Directed Study) to practice which helped, although it is quite a simple drawing it still uses the same techniques when drawn as a building or any other complicated object would. After completing the bollard and grasping the main concept of a perspective drawing I then moved on to another building.

This building is one which I can easily see from my accomadation which I drew for directed study. Instead of the drawings perspective coming from ground level it is a few floors up which gives it quite an unusual look. To draw this image I first put some perspective lines in a d then started with the closest point on the building which was the front edge of the building. Once this edge had been drawn and the angles were sketched onto the page I found it quite simple to finish the rest of the building.
