For this project I did an architectural drawing with a two point perspective. The last time I used two point perspective was several years ago in ART I. The medium I used was pencil and I used various techniques to show texture. For the trees I drew curved marks to resemble leaves and the make up of the shape. For the shrubs I did a swirling motion to give them texture. I also learned techniques to execute my final project such as using the vanishing points to create the structures. Every structure's edge is connected to a vanishing point. What makes this house interesting is that on one side of the house a roof is angled towards the left vanishing point but another roof on the same side is angled to the right vanishing point. Being able to have the house proportional and having everything go the right way took a lot of practice and erasing.
For my project I decided to draw my friends' house because I like its design and it is a very cute house. After I came up with my idea, I decided to take pictures from a certain angle and do a rough sketch of the house. In my rough sketch I did not use vanishing points but I got the general idea of what the house should look like and where things and structures should be placed. So far I have only drawn the main outlines of the structures. It has taken a while to get to this point. The corner of the house is different than the corner of the roof, so that was challenging. Three of the roofs were very challenging to draw. Two of the roofs go to opposite vanishing points and one of them is angled awkwardly. Overall I was hoping to be farther than I am right now but I rather have it drawn right and look correct than have it be drawn completely wrong.
