Week 5- Perspective Homework

Perspective is one of those things in art that you can't really be bothered to learn but know that it is of fundamental importance, so you jump into the deep end and just slug along with it. the work for week 5 was two pieces of fairly rudimentary one-point perspective both based on the teachings of two YouTube videos.

The first piece is that of a room drawn using one-point perspective (and as steady a hand as one could muster).

Apologies for the scanning, but I'm sure you get the picture (no pun intended, even if it is a terrible pun...).

The second: a slightly more complicated piece of an abandoned highway on some apocalyptic near-future Earth. This one was done with a ruler and boasts a sprinkling of colour.

A grimy and gritty abandoned highway. I have inked the more important lines but many of the original pencil lines which join up to the vanishing point are still there, I feel it just helps one to see the inner workings of a picture sometimes.

  

Oh, perspective. There to teach us that art is not all just crazy squiggles and vibrant colours, it, too, has a duller side (its own inner chartered accountant, if you will).
