Here is my final piece for this project. Critique Questions Q: Describe how you created an interesting point of view. Was it successful? Why or why not? A: By utilizing one-point perspective, I was able to show the views of the wall and what was beyond that. I thought it was successful since you can clearly see the change in wall and the pillars in the distance. Q: Why is it important to understand perspective and how to draw it? A: It is important to understand perspective so that the drawing of it will be more real and not seem as flat. It is important to draw perspective to understand how things are positioned and how distance plays a very important role of the size and location of the drawings. Q: How were the colored pencil exercises important in the success of your piece? A: The colored pencil exercises were important because they helped me practice blending colors together, along with helping me with the pressure of the colors in certain areas. Q: Describe the craftsmanship of your colored pencil. What techniques were used? A: For the most part, I think I did a good job with blending the colors and making sure I was layering them. There are some parts of the piece that I could have done a better job with, but I think most of it was shaded well. I shaded in circles and made sure to shade lightly and use layers. Q: Were you able to achieve depth by showing a foreground, middle ground and background? A: I was able to achieve depth. As the focus goes farther back on the piece, the colors get darker and more intense, which shows the depth of the walls and the pillars. Q: Explain your experience with colored pencil and the project in general. What were the obstacles and advantages? A: Despite this project being a little tedious, I had fun shading the piece and blending different colors to achieve a new one. One advantage to using the colored pencil was the bursts of color achieved in the piece. One disadvantage to the colored pencil was that it took time to blend all the color and get the drawing fully shaded. Q: Looking back on the progression of this project, what skills, techniques or other information would you like to have been taught? Do you feel you were prepared for this project? A: I would have liked to been taught more about blending and mixing colors, since it took me a few tries to get the right color of the walls. Despite this, I think I was prepared enough for this project to make it look good. Here is the reference image.

For this assignment, we were supposed to watch videos on perspective and follow along with them. Below are the drawings of one-point, two-point, three-point worms eye, and three-point birds eye perspectives. Click to view in more detail.
For this assignment, we were supposed to pick a picture of a fruit or a vegetable and draw it, using Prismacolor pencils to shade it with the various colors. We were supposed to look for colors we normally wouldn't see. I have included a variety of, reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and browns along with white in this piece. For this assignment, a white ribbon was supposed to twisted to incorporate loops into it. We were then supposed to draw the ribbon with shading and draw the loops in it. The brighter the color was on the ribbon, the brighter the white was on the drawing. We were also supposed to draw the shadows coming from the ribbon. |
