Drawing task.

31st October

I was given a drawing task to complete in three days in my independent studio time. The task was to produce a large portable drawing to link with my sleuths, lies and spies brief. The drawing had to be at least 1mx1m and i could only use black and white media. I thought about the composition and placement of my drawing and the scale. In the end i decided to do a large blind drawing of the central library, when i started doing my drawing it was a blind drawing but the more i did of the drawing i started to look at it more so it is half blind drawing and half detailed drawing which i feel worked. I like the hints of really detailed pieces next to the harsh lines over lapping. I lot of the top of the drawing was blind and the bottom not. I do not really know how this happened it just did. I started wanting more of an understanding of it being the library. I did not want people to look at it and not know which building it was. As the drawing started off being a blind drawing this is why a lot of the drawing is on the top left corner, i did not plan this it just happened, however i really like the crisp white blank section at the bottom. I feel it really works and it almost makes the drawing more bold. I feel the drawing is the perfect size and to big it would not look quite right. I have looked a lot at the scaffolding in my sleuths, lies and spies project so in my drawing i included the scaffolding and made it very dramatic. I want the scaffolding to be very noticeable but not to over powering. The limited black and white pallet was very hard for me as i really enjoy using colour in my work, i do feel the black and white does work very well, if i could i would have included so coloured rubbings with the mesh in the background like i have been doing in my book, I feel very please with what i have done and it portrays the library very well, It is both dramatic yet still calm and peaceful like a library should be.
