Drawing

Today you will see I’ve decided to give drawing a go. Drawing some buildings, a pretty Spanish scene. I have just been using pencil, even though I want to be experimenting with other materials, I wanted to go back to the common media of pencil and master that first, starting from the very basic before I progress more.

I set out a few pencil shades ranging from HB to 4B and stuck to just these.

For getting the outlines I used a vanishing point on the horizon line and made sure it was applied to all my buildings.

For the shading I had to think about where the light was coming from which for this drawing it was from the right.
