Black and White

Observation Drawing

L'Amphion

Job description

Today I present to you this work of my authorship. It is a drawing of observation made outside the classroom. This is one of my many observation drawings that I have been able to make throughout my career as an Architecture student. Precisely the name of the portfolio of this work was Black and White. The main idea was to highlight the dark highlights and shadows with the scale of gray.

I had to work with the sculpture "L'Amphion" by the French sculptor Henry Laurens.

Below I present the step by step, to perform this work:

Step N ° 1: I observed the sculpture for 30 minutes from different angles.
Step N ° 2: I determined the angle of observation to make the first sketches.
Step N ° 3: Take a photograph and subdivide it into three quadrants of equal three thirds.
Step N ° 4: I selected the range of pencils to draw shadows and contours.
Step N ° 5: In a blog sheet for drawing, we begin to make the first contour lines very subtly.
Step N ° 6: After establishing the geometry of the figure at 1:50 scale we proceeded to establish the shadows of the sculpture.
Step N ° 7: Finally, we perform shadows of depth and present our drawing to the teacher.
