Description This was one of our assignment in Representational Drawing. We had to draw a building around campus at SJCC and hint some perspective (like not face the building flat out) and landscape element. I had to do several sketch studies on the structures before I worked on the final. It was really fun to work with and I was pleased how it turned out, being my first architecture building I have ever done! The flying buttress was complicated to figure out and then there was the glass reflection. How bothersome, but I learned a lot.

Eek....I realize my other traiditonal stuff are huge are all around 18 x 24 T_T;;; That's bothersome to scan....

I only went to SJCC for one semester, but our instructor Eve Page Mathias was wonderful! She has one of the most adorable French bulldogs ever XD

[edit] When I draw, I can't just set a point and lead every line there because I also have check the angle of the building and we aren't supposed to use rules during our sketch observation. This was also drawn on site. So everyday I went to my exact little spot and drew from there. The horizon line is supposed to be low, cuz I'm sitting down on a small step.

The vanishing point is supposed to be somewhere here: [link]

Mimza [2006-10-22 03:33:42 +0000 UTC]

Wow, it's really good that you know how to draw architectual scenes, AND anime styled. If you combine the two it would really look awesome
And it's just really good ^__^ lol, I forgot what I was going to say... OH I like the lamp-posts and the shading on the side of the building, as well as those post things sticking out from the building XD

I may be OK at drawing, but as soon as I pick up a ruler... *shudder*

Haha actually you don't use rulers first when you do this but for clean up, yes it's helpful XD
