Week 9 - Landscapes - Modern Architecture


This is completed drawing of modern architecture interior. The drawing took about two and a half hours in total.
It successfully shows perspective, both in the panel elements on the wall on the right, and in the sizes of the buildings beyond the window. It also showcases the usage of curved lines in modern architecture in the ceiling. Most of the drawing is taken by windows - another thing very typical for modern architecture.
The shading looks nice, as it shows some good contrast in light and shadow on the window poles and on the wall on the right.
As for composition - the first thing that is noticeable is that there are two lines going very close through the middle of the image (the edge of the wall on the right and the tube in the foreground). There are also overlapping edges with the tube and the close building on the outside. Apart from these issues, the horizon is set on the rule-of-thirds line, there is a sense of order due to the pattern formed by the window poles and there is good fore-mid-background separation. All of these make for an interesting and calm image.
