Introduction to perspective: Two-Point Perspective

To start off with this post, I have no idea what I was doing. If I have to describe myself on my traditional art skills, I am at the beginner level. I don't have much realism or life drawing skill, so working on this piece is quite challenging. I am not good with perspective at all but with this class, I hope I will see my improvements on traditional drawing skills throughout this blog. In this work, I use the skill I have from watching the video on blackboard and my self taught skill (which is basically my instinct at this point )

Thumbnail Sketch

Tool used: 2B and 6B pencil and putty eraser on A3

I made a small thumbnail sketch on top of the page and started the piece on the same page. Because it was very disproportionate, I used the entire page as a thumbnail sketch and warm ups. 

 

First Study

Tool used: 2B and 6B pencil and putty eraser on A3

The first study felt more like a warm up for me, I tried not to use too much time on a piece but when I only finished the outline everyone in class had already moved on to the second piece. I panicked and started on the second one immediately which is the reason why this piece looks unshaded.

There were a lot of errors on this sketch such as wrong proportion, messy perspective and not enough force on the perspective which I noted down and used to improve on the second study I did.  

Second Study

Tool used: 2B and 6B pencil and putty eraser on A3

The second study went a lot smoother as I already use the thumbnail page and first study piece as a warm up. I could sketch a lot faster than the first and got the shape down fast enough to do small shading to give the shape its value.
