Drawing 2 - Interior

Opposite to the previous session , we now began with interior drawing , our task was to pick a location within the creative arts building and draw what we saw from our perspective using a range of techniques and drawing instruments. For my location i chose to situate myself on a high point , looking through the glass barrier out into the rest of the creative arts building , i thought this was a perfect able as it captures the linear structure of the building , i also felt that it had the most potential for shapes to be created in the building. In this task we were pushed to add tonal shade values and colour to our piece to distinguish them form a generic pencil drawing.

Below is my interior drawing from the creative arts building. I began by using pencil to sketch the rough outline of the structure. Once finished i went over these line using a thick finaliser to add weight to certain lines allowing them to stand out and define the build more than other less important lines. After i added a tech of shadow to give the building depth and finally an element of colour to define different parts of the building such as blue for glass.


Personally i feel that i struggle with these drawing tasks as it is something i haven't really pursued when designing , i prefer to make quick simplistic sketches than go into detail. Although i feel that my skills are slowly improving there is still a lot i need to learn. hopefully the future sessions will open me up to different drawing styles and ways of thinking when using drawing instruments. i feel that having more time will allow me to express my creativity more.
