I'm today's lesson I started transcribing different elements of Renaissance work to develop them into abstract images to incorporate into my final design.
The first element I chose was different forms of arches. Particular arches that intrigued me were the ogee arch and the common Gothic arch. Therefore I split the page in half and drew both of these arches, using tone to capture the different shapes and shadowing of the architecture. Both of these images were found on google images. The second sketch of arches was significantly easier to draw than the first as I find it easier to portray circular movement easier that straight, square shapes. Also as the first image is particularly shadowed it was harder to pick out where the lighted areas were. I feel somewhat proud of this page as I feel I have illustrated the tones in arches well even though I have not shaded sketches for 4/5 years.
I also started to draw an old Renaissance building but I do not like this so I won't add it as a page in my sketchbook.
