Art 101: Session 11

Hello! Here is yet another art post. I actually liked how these drawings turned out, even though it was still perspective drawing, which I do not like.

For this session, we had to choose a room in our house to draw, and I chose the kitchen because it had the least amount of stuff to draw in it. We had to draw this area in both one point and two point perspective. I was not excited for this at all, since I knew it was going to take a while.

I also streamed the second drawing in this session, which was interesting. I don’t really like streaming while I do art, since I like to watch videos and stay quiet while I draw, but I know I have to do it if I want to gain a following on Twitch haha.

It was a little hard to get the right angle on the kitchen, and to draw all of the straight lines, but it wasn’t that bad doing this. It definitely wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. That seems to be a theme with these drawings that I do not want to do.

After we drew the scene, we had to add “atmospheric perspective” which is when you make the parts of the drawing that are closest to you darker, and the parts that are furthest away lighter. This is supposed to convey more depth and atmosphere.

I tried to do my first draft in a more medium tone, so I wouldn’t have to go over completely everything when adding the atmospheric perspective. I think this was a good strategy because then all I had to do was erase the lighter parts and add a bit to the darker parts.

I did the same thing with the second drawing, the only thing that was different was that this drawing is in two point perspective instead of one point perspective. I think I like this better than the first drawing, but I am not sure.

I do not have a picture of the first draft of this drawing. I did spend less time on this drawing than the first one, and I did put a lot less effort into some of the components. I do know that I could do better if I tried again and put more effort into it, but I’m not sure when I will get around to that.

I do think this was my favorite perspective session out of all of them, and that is saying something. I really do not want to do the other perspective sessions again, but I think that just means I should do them even more for the practice.

Anywho, that is all for this art post. Thank you all so much for reading and supporting my journey. I appreciate all of you who take the time to read my blog posts, and I do try to put a lot of effort into them.

P.S. Here are the promised picture of Jack! I love him so much. I feel like I have been getting closer with him over the past couple of months, and that is so exciting. He has always had a lot of anxiety since he was abused as a kitten, and I was a kid when we got him so I did not see much value in forming a close relationship with him at the time.
