Handling Complex information (landscape)

(The dark line down the middle is where i have had to connect the 2 images together)

Time taken approximately 40mins 

This was done on the roof of the Chesham building at Bradford university. The focus of the exercise was to use impressionism to quickly get hight detail down on the page. For this exercise i decided to use the think chisel side of some graphic markers. I started applying a soft grey colour to map out the landscape, once this was done all over i started applying shading and darker tones to build up the detail. 

The level of detail on some parts really work in this image such as the details on the mosque and the top right building.

Tonal value and mixing media (landscape)

Time taken approximately 30 mins

This is the interior of student central. As the title of this post suggests the idea for this session was mixing media so what i have done is drawn the image out using colour pastel then gone over this imagine in pencil to get the darker and more fine details.

I believe the location of this piece works really well just looking straight down the middle of the upper area. I especially like the golden arches at the very top with the shading done in pencil. The walls really stand out i now believe I should have shaded them a little bit so that they weren't total white.

Architecture (landscapes)

Time taken approximately 60 mins

This drawing is of the newly built part of Horton. This was done using a set of pencils. This piece was my first piece back after having a holiday in which I didn't do much drawing, I believe this has caused me to slow down a lot since last year which was one of the reasons why the drawing took me so long to do

This image doest work as well as i had hoped it would, I feel I rushed into doing the image and therefore didn't get good composition. This image lacks shading which could have made the image work better
