Hi Amy! Nice work! I love how you are using your eraser here to draw the text on the book’s cover! That’s an excellent form of mark making… the title almost becomes a ghost! It is also great how the image on the cover of your book shifts with each perspective you draw it. It is hard to condense that information and make it abide by the perspective of the object!
If you still have any questions about perspective since you completed this blog post/ our in-class work, let me know. It is easier to explain in conversation, but that being said, when in doubt always trust what you are seeing first! Then you can use the tools/ rule of perspective to guide the making of your drawing. Learn “the rules” of vision to break them — as the artist you have the power to make the drawing you want to see!
And thanks for the reading recommendation! The Great Gatsby is a classic! There is so much symbolism in it. The way you decipher some of the symbolism in the story is not unlike how we talk about metaphor/narrative within in a work of art! (the green light, the theme of the egg, the name”daisy,” The Eyes Of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg…)
