The image shows an urban landscape drawing which was completed in 2 hours using graphite, and is a study on architectural rendering and basic techniques when drawing buildings.
The composition of the entire drawing is visually appealing, the main subject being framed by the other buildings. Planning the entire scene on paper first by using thumbnails was crucial for making the composition work. Using the portrait type of orientation for this particular scene also worked nicely in this case. The proportions are fairly correct as well and this was ensured by measuring and construction lines. The perspective however is far from perfect because of the angle chosen to draw from. For this reason, the location of the vanishing point on the right is unclear, and this decreases the depth of the main building. The entire drawing does however offer a good sense of depth due to shading. The cross hatching on the buildings in the background was a good shading technique choice, as it creates a nice effect from a rendering point of view. In some areas of the drawing the materials of the building were nicely observed, such as using texture detailing to represent the roof, the shine of the windows, or other subtle architectural details.
