Sem 2 Week 11 Contemporary Architecture

This is a modern interior architectural drawing that took about 40 minutes to produce and was made using marker pens and a graphic pen. The piece focuses on capturing the subtleties of interior spaces.

The piece is very successful when it comes to showing depth and breadth especially through the different tonal values that occur thanks to the medium used. The drawing is also successful when it comes to perspective, for the most part, like on the two pillars. The highlights in the back give a good feeling of light and a sense of casting shadows through darker tones. The horizon line passes through the middle of the drawing and it has two vanishing points that are created by the orthogonal lines of the base of the pillars. If there are two vanishing points then that means that it is a two point perspective drawing.

It is not a perfect drawing, for the perspective of the roof seems a little bit off as it feels like it is perpendicular on the line of the wall and so it gives a sense of floating. There also seems to be something wrong in the back of the drawing where the little corridor is and at the back a door. The perspective on the wall of the corridor seems to be wrong and the shadow that’s cast over it seems to not be made by any object.
