For this project we learned how to draw in perspective. These are some examples of a one point, two point, and three point perspectives of buildings on a street. We also had some practice with prismacolors. For my final sketch i decided to do legos. I sketched out three different perspectives of legos and then chose the one that i liked out of the three. My point of view is interesting because of the way that each individual Lego is facing a different direction. I think that this project is successful in how the legos turned out. I was having a hard time getting the proportions and the overall figure of each Lego but i think now that i have added dimension to each one i feel like that really brought the piece together. For my view it was really important to know and understand perspective drawing because if a line is not how its supposed to be, it butchers the entire look of the Lego. The colored pencil exercises played an important role to this project in helping me decide what colored paper would work best for my color choices. It also helped me get outside of my comfort zone and forcing me to try colored pencils instead of going straight to graphite. The technique that i used in this project was layering colors and blending them out. Because legos tend to have a shiny exterior, i had to incorporate the colors of the legos next to each to show reflection. I think that i was able to show a foreground, middle ground, and a background in the placement of the legos. You can see the blue Lego in the foreground, the green and yellow legos in the middle ground, and the white Lego in the background. Some obstacles that i encountered in this project include being able to really show the reflections of the surrounding legos. Because i dont really have much experience with color i have trouble knowing what colors to add that are not usually seen so i tend to just use different shades of the color being used to create the illusion of depth. An advantage would be being able to layer and blend using prismacolor. I think i have gotten better with using colored pencils and i can see myself doing more drawings in color. I feel like i was well prepared for this project but i feel like we could have spent a little more time on learning what colors can be added to an object that one wouldnt think of adding to make it more realistic.
