14. Landscapes: Urban And Rural


This drawing of a rural path is done using an impressionistic technique, through which the colours are used to show the different objects in the scene, this is because of complexity of the drawing and the amount of detail which would make it very confusing for the viewer.
This drawing has a good vantage point which shows that it was planned out, there are various examples of foreshortening, such as the railing and the wall to the right. This shows good perspective.
The shading technique used is effective for this drawing as it contains a lot of trees and leaves which can’t all be drawn, so using this technique helps to let the viewer's imagination fill in the detail. The horizon line is roughly about the centre of the drawing where the path disappears from view and only trees can be seen above it. The focal point of this drawing is the railing as it has the darkest shading and most varied colours surrounding it, other areas of interest are the wall to the right and the left clearing which is letting light through the trees causing everything to be yellow in colour.

12. Still Life: Composition


This drawing of a model shows her facial expression, using both lighting and shadows, it effectively shows that the model has a very sarcastic smile that seems to be fake/forced and not natural. This drawing has captured the appearance of the model perfectly and looks very similar, the facial features such as the nose, eyes and mouth are planned very well on the page and are drawn in proportion to the rest of the face.
The contours of the shading show the anatomy of the head and how the model’s cheek muscles are being used to make the mouth smile, it also shows the areas where the skin bends and curves around muscles making it very realistic. The highlights and shading show that the light source was from above to the right this works well with this facial expression and adds a more intense effect on the viewer.
