Landscape Drawing - Contemporary Architecture


















For this drawing I used colour paper to draw modern architecture. In this drawing there were a lot of curved angles which was harder to draw. In the drawing I used coloured paper and conte crayon. I used only black and white; firstly by creating outlines in black and then using the white conte crayon to show light. In this environment there were many different light sources including wall and ceiling lights. Even though the environment was very simple it can be quite challenging. For me this as in the proportions. One of the main challenges in this drawing was the ceiling and the way it was shaped. It took me a couple of attempts to achieve the shape I wanted. I have left in the lines where I had made the mistakes.

I have created shadows throughout the scene which was stronger in some areas than others because of the walls. I wanted to show the different colours on the walls, that is the darker or lighter walls, through the shading.

Overall in this drawing I feel I have shown the modern architecture and the different lighting and shadows. This was a very challenging environment to draw because of its simplicity. I liked using the conte crayon in this way because it was interesting learning about the effects of just black and white on coloured paper. I think this makes you focus more on light which will help with future drawings I produce.
