This is a 30 minute landscape
drawing of a balcony made using conte crayon. It is a classical interior
drawing that was created using impressionistic techniques. The horizon line on
this piece is situated down, outside the drawing, as it looks like the balcony
was drawn from a low angle.
The drawing does a very good job
in showing depth and breadth through different tonal values that were created
by using the hatching technique with this medium. The light source seems to be
falling perpendicular on the balcony and it beautifully creates highlights and
shadows like on the pillars. The perspective is mostly correct in the piece and
it has two vanishing points, which means that it is a two point perspective
drawing. A nice sense of texture is coming out of the balcony, as the shading
technique and the impression of the pillar’s reflection implies that the
surface is a mirror.
It is not a perfect drawing by
any means, for the perspective of the pillars is wrong and it distracts the
viewer’s eye. The white space also disrupts the balance of the composition.
This could’ve been avoided if a background was added. Perspective on the right pillar seems to be
wrong as well.
