4. Skies And Seas
This drawing of the sky shows good perspective as it has a visible implied line that slowly flows across and down the page, this impressionistic technique used through the shading of the clouds in the sky works very well in getting the viewer’s eye to look at the focal points and other points of interest. The shading at the bottom of the page of the horizon line adds depth to the drawing and shows that the sky is above.
The main focal point of this image is towards the bottom right just above the horizon line, this part of the drawing has darker shading than the rest of the sky, also the difference in brightness in this area draws the viewer’s attention, an area of interest would be in the bottom left corner where a building comes up past the horizon line, another area of interest would be at the top left of the image which seems to have different layers of clouds close by one another.
The shading technique used for the sky and clouds could be improved upon by smudging the crayons used more, so that the lines created by them are no longer visible, this would give a better effect and add more realism to the drawing, another improvement would be to try n add both light and dark to the clouds so that you are able to clearly distinguish which clouds are which, judging by this drawing it seems that there wasn’t enough light from the sun to get a good sense of tonal value.
