This section was all about perspective, learning about the simple techniques and math to draw interior and exteriors that stem from architectural drawings. I drew an interior perspective and one of the peace garden at school. Technical drawings aren't my thing but I still enjoy watching every line turn into a building or an amazing interior.

For my interior I started with a sketch then started layering graphite using my blender to blend the layers out. Using softer pencils gradually and I went in with some pen in the end. My school perspective had a lot of phases that turned into mixed media I started off with a sketch shaded a little with colored pencil and then I went in with marker and switched back to colored pencil at the end.

I used a ruler for all my lines and worked around the vanishing point.  For my school perspective I added color and mixed mediums, I was going for very saturated color. My interior drawing I wanted to set a sad forgotten mood. To me it looks like an old haunted house by the sea that nobody has lived in for years so I added cobwebs, the broken light, and the crooked  pictures on the wall.
