Here I started on my street and sidewalk outline just getting everything in place. I started on the brick wall and immediately knew I'd regret it. So I added in the other details and started stippling the alley ways in the buildings. I finished the brick wall outlining and drew in the dog and backpack with spray paint cans in two places to show some extra distance. Stippled in the buildings some more and started outlining the rest of the piece in pen. The value is a lot darker and it makes it look better considering the building aren't white. Final Piece, stippling in the brick wall is what nightmares are made of. So is stippling something in completely black. For my pen and ink techniques I chose to go with stippling and hatching because they're both simple and look nice and subtle when put together. I chose to do two techniques because I didn't want the piece to look boring or lazy by just using one technique. maybe I'm just bad at art and couldn't make it work with just one technique (moving on) I used Perspective in my buildings and objects, the buildings fade away into the horizon and get darker the more you go back. Perspective is important because it makes your drawing look more realistic and it's more fun to look at than just two apples sitting side by side in 2D. Putting objects at different distances and using the right shading to represent where the light hits compliments a piece well.
Value is important if you look at the brick wall. And the alley ways. The brick wall before was just a bunch of rectangles but now they look more put together and better shaped. Adding value to a piece brings it to life a bit more. And to describe my craftsmanship.. techniqually how well is it done? the lines could be more precise and the shading could've come together a bit better in some areas. If I could re create my piece I would've just drawn some fruits chilling on a table. But really, I would add some clouds or something in the sky. Add some more decorations to the shops, add some items in the windows, and if I had a choice, add some color to it. It's not really a fairytale, it's just some guy chilling with his dog and some spray paint cans down town. Exploring on top of the buildings. It's more so a drawing of what I like to do in my free time. Wish I had a dog though. This whole class is gonna cover value and perspective. They're both really important In drawing and even sculpting. Without value everything looks kinda bland. I feel like I've learned patience. Thanks to that I'll be making more art with more elaborate scenes and better shading techniques, soon enough it'll be a breeze and I can move on to progress further in other things.
