For my three drawings, I plan on putting the first two interior spaces next to eachother and the exterior one to the right of the two in order to sort of “mimic” the layout of my apartment since the walls link together somewhat well in the drawings. I will likely glue them together.

This one was really tough, especially the three point perspective. I used a book that my roommate had since I did not bring any of mine with me when I moved over summer. I did not have colored pencils for this so I just shaded the darker portions to add depth. I personally enjoyed the two point perspective more because I feel like I had the most freedom with it compared to the other two, I honestly got lost for a while with the three point perspective drawing because there were so many intersecting lines on the page.

I wanted to portray night life and the lights that come with it. The sort of lively neon night life aesthetic is personally my favorite so I took a few Columbus magazine and attempted to make a collage out of it.

This week we took our previous ink drawings and improved upon them after we critiqued the drawings of one another during our class time last Wednesday. Frankly, I had a lot to correct on mine since I was extremely unhappy with how it turned out. When I was making it, I hit a huge block and had no idea what to do with it and I was unhappy with what I did do with it. Drawing on large canvases is something I am not used to, so having to really get creative with the detail I wanted on the large canvas proved to be quite tedious, and I honestly gave up way sooner than I should have. I really drew some inspiration this time around from a couple of my classmates, especially Ava’s. Her drawing had much more ink than mine did and I did something similar to her background with mine, which was something I struggled with on the previous project. There was also one drawing, I forget whose it was but it was the one that was extremely good compared to all the others (I was very jealous, she doesn’t belong in a beginners class). She used a bunch of abstract patterns in hers and it kind of helped me open my eyes to see that I needed to get more creative with how I actually use my objects to put the ink down, rather than try and use them like a pencil to shade, as I found out that did not work very well. I think I can still improve, but I am much happier this time around with how the drawing turned out and I am glad we got to go back and redo them.

For this, I wanted to try and recreate a fall theme for it. Drawing the picture wasn’t hard, but using the ink and trying to shade was quite difficult and I am honestly not totally happy about how it turned out. Ink is pretty difficult to work with.
