This picture was done in 1 hour on A3 using grayscale graphic markers and a black ink pen the idea was to capture the architectural detail of the interior of a cathedral. The focal point spans across the center of the picture being the large arching structures. Impressionistic techniques were used to add the seating as the main concept of the drawing focuses on the pillars of the interior. A nice sense of depth is achieved using the inner roof under the archways. Two point perspective was used and displays a sense of foreshortening to the structure the further down the building.
The strongest point within this image is the use of media, the graphic markers worked well building shadow and a sense of depth while the pen was used to strengthen lines and give the drawing more intricate detail. This works well together and compliment the scene. Using both mediums allowed for varied techniques to allow for more details to be shown within the drawing.
The impressionistic techniques for the chairs didn’t give the expected result, as an attempt to give larger interest to the points of detail, the image didn’t achieve this and the lack of detail seems to distract the viewer's eye more than anything. Stronger observational skills would have benefitted these impressionistic attempts.
