drawing exteriors
I found out how bad I was at intuitive perspective . . . I was so focused on line variation and making my first drawing light, that I messed up on the angles of things. To make it even harder, I couldn't finish it in one sitting, so I had already drawn in some cars, and stupid me forgot that those moved . . . fortunately the same cars were there, except they had moved over one or two spaces, which really threw my perspective off. I tried to fix it, but I'd already gone over it with the 4B before I realized I'd messed up. So now my drawing has horrible perspective, and I can't draw a straight line for the life of me, so the tops of buildings and the curb look like something from an expressionist painting . . . hopefully I can get some pointers today on how to fix this.

I know; I suck at drawing straight lines too. And I'm not to fund of drawing outside because of insects, heat, and global warming. Plus unpleasant smells, interruptions, noises, and moving cars.
ReplyDeletehaha, I don't mind the outdoors, that's the way nature is :P
ReplyDeleteI guess the glitches are what make the piece right? I should be better at perspective by now, though, so that was disappointing.
