Modern Architecture


This drawing of the Bradford City Hall shows he detail of the clock tower, the perspective is slightly off as it was looking up at the building. Also the detail of the image could be improved upon.

Classical Architecture


The perspective of this drawing is no very good, this ruins the drawing as it doesn't look correct. The foreshortening effect is well drawn and clearly visible. The shading is relatively good in parts, such as following the contours of the shape of the object.

This could be improved by either adding more detail to the background or shading to get rid of most of the white spaces, this would make the drawing feel more complete.

Anatomy & Movement



These sketches show the movement of the body over time, they show the different poses that were made as the model was moving and the wieght that is being put down on the legs it also shows how the weight is being shifted on each pose.

Balance & Weight & Dynamism



These sketches focus on anatomy, they show the posture of the body while holding different objects, it also shows the balance and weight of each pose and how it affects the body. There are static and dynamic poses which vary between open and closed forms.


The movement and action of the dynamic poses show the model carrying out a rowing movement with his arms and body moving but his legs planted firmly down. The upper body rotates and changes from closed form to open form also the muscles in the body flex and relax with head movement. The drawings show some foreshortening but also some of the proportions of the body are not correct, this makes it seem less realistic, this could have been due to the perspective at which the drawing was done.

Basic Anatomy



This sketch of basic human anatomy shows the leg muscle while it is flexed during bending of the leg. The lines in the drawing clearly show the angles of the leg which show the pose that is being made. The proportions of the leg and the muscles are correct and constant, this allows you to see the weight that is being put on the leg.

The drawing follows the rule of thirds and is in a good position on the page, this makes it pleasing to the viewer, the balance of the image is even but more detailed shading could have been added to the foot and stomach. The strong background shading makes the detail in the leg stand out more, this improves on the muscle definition.

Foreshortening & Extreme Angles


These 3 sketches were drawn fairly quickly and then some extra time was spent to slightly improve areas which required a bit more detail, the first sketch was used to create the foreshotening effect of the skeleton by creating a 3D box guide, it was also to ensure that the proportions of the skeleton were correct.




 The second sketch was progression from the first sketch by adding in parts of the skeleton to the already created box guide. The aim of the drawing was to draw foreshortening effects at an extreme angle, an oblique angle, this meant that the foreshortening effect would increase drastically over a short space. This image shows how the skeleton gets smaller as it goes further away from the viewer, this is foreshortening.




 The third sketch that was drawn was at a very difficult perspective this made it quite hard to draw the skeleton an improvment to this would have been to pick a better perspective, also the skeleton's feet have been cut off the image, a better perspective would have allowed for the full object to be within the page.
