With the 3 point architecture piece, I had a bit more of a challenge, since I don’t find 3 point perspective that simple and I had only drawn it from my intuition until now, without knowing the exact rules. Plus, I was not used to drawing buildings, since I am more into drawing people, mainly portraits, than I am into drawing environment. Overall, it was a challenge that took me some time to complete.
I chose a photo of a building from the @dmuleicester instagram account, so I wouldn’t have to deal with the fisheye lens effect of google maps:
Because of the details and the perspective, it took me a lot to sketch everything, erasing and redoing the perspective where it seemed weird. The building in the middle looked a bit uneven, but I fixed it later in the process:
Then I started the tonal work, adding the rest of the details while at it:
I tried keeping the contrast and difference in tone throughout the drawing:
The tonal work still ended up being a bit flat, especially the ground and sky:
And this is the final project after getting feedback and applying it (I erased some of the ground and instead added lines to suggest the road instead of relying on tone which made it look overworked; I darkened the right side buildings too, since the light came from the left.):
Overall, although it took a lot of work, this exercise helped me understand how to apply perspective to more complex objects/scenes.
