Final Piece - Landscape

1hr 15 minutes, Graphic Markers

 

This is my final piece for landscape, the mainfocus of this drawing is to show good compisition, finesse with material, solid perspective, tonal value and layers of detail. The theory shown in the sketch is as follows:

 

Positives:

•  Nice compistion of the sketch as the eye is lead into the distance by the two orthangonal lines stretching from the left and right and meeting behind the tree, this leads the eye fromthe foreground to the mid and background.
• The perspective is solid and appears to be drawn for raised platform looking down from a higher grassy bank down onto water and more banks in the distance.
• Good level of detail with highly detail trees, grass and pathway in the foreground and the lighter water and more bushes and greenary in the distance with a variation in detail.
• An example of foreshortening on the bank to the left across the water as the trees and henges get smaller.
• Lots of tonal vaules as the darker more saturated tones bring in the foreground and the lighter less saturated tones fade into the distance.
• Some implies lines from the top of the tallest tree down to the right  on the tip of the greenary and also the left to the middle.

 

Negatives:

• The sky is a bit dark in places and could of been lightened up if had chance.
• Some structural content would have made this sketch more interesting and gave it a better perspective.
• Some things look a bit flat and need to be more three dimaesional.
