Imaginary Landscape

 

The Idea

It started off with a sketch, a preliminary idea to map out before beginning the final drawing. 

In other words - An idea popped into my head, "I'm going to draw a kitchen." So I drew a kitchen. "Oooh, I like it." "No, not quite." I flip the page to start over, still with a kitchen in mind. "No, no, no, it's just not right." Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! I try again! "Nope!" Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase!

Then another idea comes to mind. I flip the page to start over, still with a kitchen in mind, but floating on the lake. "No, no, no, it's just not right." Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! I try again! "Nope!" Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase!

Then another idea comes to mind. I flip the page to start over, still with a kitchen in mind, but with steps going nowhere. "No, no, no, it's just not right." Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! I try again! "Nope!" Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! ""Oh no, I ripped the paper, too much erasing!"

"I think I'll stick with the kitchen on the lake."

I did some more sketching to get the right view on the bigger paper, which took a while. And below are some pictures I took as I progressed through with my art.

In-Progress Pictures

And there you have it, an imaginary landscape - right from my mind. 

Done with colored pencils on 14 X 17 inch paper.

Perspectively in Perspective

 1 Point Perspective

Last week I drew a room using perspectives, one point perspective to be exact. One vanishing point, all angles vanish to a single point - just like when you look down a railroad track.

For this picture I followed a tutorial on one-
point perspective, so it didn't come from my imagination, but from my hand I did sketch it.

Next Project

Currently in the studio I am working on a few different projects. Between my school artwork like this one-point perspective, I have a self portrait started and a Star Wars/Star Trek colored pencil drawing in progress.

Egg-Squisite

A Value Eggs-ercise

This week in art class I am learning how to add value to my art … I kind of already know how to add value, so maybe it's just another value eggs-ercise for me. It is very egg-citing - like every piece of art.

The reason for these Egg-cellent jokes - 

I am drawing an egg - that's egg-sactly why.

The first eggs-ercise was to draw or shade a value scale.

Just a visual of how shading works, going from light to dark - Photography = light drawing

When applied to a pencil drawing we get different values created with different pressure from the pencil.

And then the egg!

A progression of the egg being shaded and value being applied.

And that is the egg in its finished stage, full of value. Hopefully you can tell it is an egg. 

Isn't it egg-tastic!
