On the final day of our Perspective workshop we begin with our warm up exercise again - 5 cubes and 5 cylinders - sketched with different mediums this time. I used pencil, charcoal, ink brush, watercolor + brush and water soluble graphite.
In our next exercise, we look at solutions that help us draw complex shapes in perspective. When drawing a pringle chip we start by visualizing it inside a cube. Looking at each side of the cube, we simplify the lines and draw them as guides. The final step is to combine the lines in a 3d rendering.
Our final look at the rules of linear perspective takes us to 3 point perspective. Setting up a horizon line and three vanishing points - we can use the previous principles of one and two point perspective to develop a shape in space.
Our final project is based on artwork by the artist Al Helm. We get to play with line, shape and space - creative expression with medium and technique.
