Weeks 9 & 10: Cityscape Project


This is my perspective project.
If only I had had more time to work on it, I would have created a freakin masterpiece! But alas, life just isn't on your side sometimes and I had not near as much time as I would have wanted. It looks more like my simple one-point perspective sketch than like any of Alessandro Papetti's AWESOME works. 
So a couple things about it: if you couldn't tell, the thing at the back where the vanishing point is is a bridge. The blue thing by it is the river it's going over. And the gray shadows at the very back is the city across the river. So yeah...just in case you didn't know that....I tried really hard to work with the shading and shadows and it does look a lot better than my other stuff but not like it could.
Title: The City Across the River
Size: 8.5" x 11"

  2. This is definitely not sad and lame. Lol I think it is great. All your lines are perfectly straight, all buildings point toward the vanishing point, and you added a ton of detail and color. It is the complete opposite of sad and lame if you ask me. :)

  9. I really like the texture you put into this and how the colors and shading make it pop and seem more realistic. You could work on getting out of your comfort zone though. It seems too perfect. Don't be afraid to mess up, it could make your picture!

  11. That's so cool! I really like how you can see the bridge off in the distance and that you get more of an overview look of the city.
