Final Landscape Drawing



There is good perspective and composition in the drawing. The drawing has a rule of thirds as the drawing in the foreground is the focal point. The eye moves from the focal point to the dark tree in the middle ground and then along the bridge. It then moves along up to the house and then along the trees. Also there is another line where It moves from the focal point, along the fence and round the stream and to the bridge. The eye follows the bend in the stream and it goes to the middle ground. There are layers from the focal point in the foreground, the bridge in the middle ground and the houses in the background. This is a 1 hour 30 minute landscape showing natural and architectural surroundings.

Final Figure Drawing



The figure drawing is a 1 hour study of the male muscular form. There are many values on the person figure as the light source on the left is shining on him. There is good perspective and the proportions but the hands could have been improved. On the upper body there are many different values because pose as one he is leaning to one side. The muscular structure can be seen because of the light and dark tones and they also show the direction the muscles are going in. The shading is shows that the legs and arms are curved. Also there is some foreshortening the left leg is in front of the right but there could be an improvement in the right arm as the elbow is bent backwards.

Final Still Life



This is a 70 min still life drawing. There are a few glass object and they are reflecting the surroundings and there are overlapping without any being orphaned. The objects reflect a lot of light and the can also be seen through. There is good shading on the jug as it can be seen that it is curved and the shape has many curves. The other glass items also can be seen to be curved by the shading which adds depth and volume. The marbles in the bowl are also shaded so they look 3 dimensional and so it adds volume, mass and depth to the spheres. The cloth has many different values as there is subtle light and also the light is being reflected around the room. The object also cast a cast shadow in the background and the focal point is the metal tin which is in the rule of thirds. There is an implied line going from the tin to the jam jar and then down to the cast shows. It then travel along the bottom of the cloth and then up to the jug and bowl. There are also cast shadows being cast on the wall by other object in the room.
