Classic Interiors

This is a study of classical interiors in architecture using graphite, this drawing took around 20 minutes to complete, this is a multiple point perspective sketch. Drawing classical interiors is an interesting concept, in the drawing above there is almost too much in it, if the perspective was a little different or there was a little less in the drawing then the drawing would be more interesting and pleasing to the eye. The focal point of the drawing would be the left hand side of the drawing where the pillar meets the negative space, which leads your eye along the horizontal towards the first pillar and up the arch. There isn't much to do with the rule of thirds here, but as said before maybe changing perspective or taking away part of the drawing would make it more appealing. The balance in this drawing is between the two pillars, almost right down the middle.
 
 
This drawing is a study of classical interiors in architecture suing conte crayon which took around 10 minutes to complete. Choosing to draw a smaller area was good because its easy to get lost in all the small details of the architecture, especially classical due to the style.
The composition is good here, where the drawing follows the rule of thirds with the pillars splitting the drawing up and the tops of the pillar and the bottom of the floor, follows it all quite well, with the focal point being the balcony with the arch. This composition is balanced well, with both vertical and horizontal lines, you could split it up either way an it would still be balanced.
There is a lot of impression at the top of the drawing where the arch of the pillars end but the light lines continue to the left to resemble the ceiling, this shows where the room extends to without adding a huge amount of detail. A successful drawing with impressionistic methods and good use of line.
