Interior drawings

Cartwright Hall Gallery

2 hours

This multimedia piece represents a grand art gallery in Lister park. The shading has a weaker intensity to focus on the ornate, decorative arches and fixtures, this makes the interior look clean and crisp like refined stone or marble.   Markers were used to highlight the shapes of the arcs and columns. The composition is asymmetric which makes the angles stand out more and adds more depth. The piece uses soft pencils and pen, however the pen lines are not very noticeable. This is positive because if they had been darker it may have spoiled the perspective and shading, creating a flatter and less interesting image.     

Museum of Animation 

1 hour and a half

This soft coloured pencil drawing captures the insanity and psychedelic nature of the animation exhibit at Bradford Multimedia museum. The use of colours adds a feeling of playfulness and enchantment, this describes the artists and animations it possesses. The curved walls create the feeling of surreal cartoon background paintings with a distortion of perspective and reality. The colours and shapes also feel like a science fiction comic from the 50's because of the light fixtures and the rounded windows. The composition of the drawing displays a use of the golden section, this can be seen in each corridor leading the viewers eye down the parallel paths.
