See the original photo here.
I think it’s a little better on the paper than it is on the scan. I really like this facade on the photo, but not so much on the drawing. I like how they’ve disigned a modern facade mimicking elements in the two neighbouring facades – i couldn’t find a photo where you see the context any better though – if anybody knows the adress of this house (for google streetview), or where i can find some better photos, I’d like to know.
I’m planning on doing a infill myself for my master thesis at architecture school, so I am looking for nice examples of infills that make good use of the existing context – if anybody has any suggestions about something i should look at, i’d be glad to hear about it. Historical architecture aswell.
Your perspective drawings are really very accomplished. You have great control of line and angle and scale.
I think it’s lovely. Love how you did the border following the top of the building and down the side.
Nice gradations in tonality. You started light so you didn’t have to go too dark and overwork and it looks really good. The perspective slipped a bit. To start off, try getting a ruler and pivot it on the eyeline and check that the elements all work together and are angled proportionately. After a while you can do it by eye, but there is a lot of detail here. It’s very easy to slip up.
Yes, very easy indeed! – i tried to correct the lower windows in the first house on the left, but it’s hard to mess around with an eraser and still get everything working together – aswell as the tonality etc.. You just have to get it right from the start. Thanks for your comment!
Have you tried a battery powered eraser? They are great for taking out small areas and reclaiming the light on an eyelid, for instance. They stay clean and get you back to the paper. They are also very cheap.
I think i’ll pick one up the next time i see them in a store!
