Certain “liquids” have a weird consistency that makes shading them difficult. Notice how in the upper part of the bottle is not consistently shaded, it’s because weird/random amounts of light were getting through. Symmetry and dual drawings (I don’t know if there’s a real name for that) are not the same and should not be treated as such.

Very happy that I managed to copy the pancakes as well as I did. I’m unsure if I needed to put in a source of light and shadow in the pop art styles because I noticed that not a lot of other people did. I put them in anyway I hope that’s ok. I’m learning how to be more patient in my drawing because I need to line up most/all of the contour lines but I’m not doing perfect there.

1. I learned that the angle of a structure completely alters the dimensions
2. The angle of a structure alters the shape and layout as well
3. A greater sense of depth can be achieved through using perspective points
4. Perspective points show you greater accuracy in how a landscape will look
5. You could use perspective points and shading to map out your own house concept by drawing it yourself now that we know how to

I’m learning that putting a house on paper also requires a good landscape. I’m taking this course as a prerequisite for a landscape architecture program and this is the first time I’ve actually put a building and landscape together. Designing a house revolves solely around what landscape it’s build upon, which I didn’t realize entirely before this.
I’m learning that different angles and features are more clear and/or prevalent depending on the perspective you take on it. I could have done a 1 point perspective but I didn’t feel like I would have been able to capture the actual size and details of a house.

It was hard for me to get a real life light angle to take a picture of this final piece so apologies if the left side is a little darker than the right.
1. The light source coming from right in front completely changes the entire composition to where the objects are mostly shadowed (is that a word?)
2. Reflections on the ground/sand are not easy I had a really difficult time with that and I’m not sure I succeeded.
3. I learned that the sky shading is dependent on the sun’s location
4. I’ve never really done clouds before and I realized just how affected by the sunlight they were. The clouds on the the right (tips of them) are much darker than the others but at the same level in the sky.
5. I learned that drawing sunlight directly from the sun requires an absence of any shading or lines as opposed to just a higher value shading.

I wish I was better at dealing with water and the sun’s reflection but I chose a picture with water in it as I personally haven’t really practiced anything too new in the past couple projects. Each project has had the light source coming from one side or one corner, etc but this time the sun is on the horizon, in the middle. The light source is kind of unique here and I’m learning how to draw using a new light perspective and it’s not very easy. For me, anyway.
