Week 2: Landscape (Bradford Cathedral)

This week we went to Bradford Cathedral for the landscape session where only the planning of this drawing was done. The composition, done by use of pen markers, took about an hour and a half and was planned that day using the rule of thirds and by drawing some basic orthogonal lines. One of the two vanishing points is visible in the drawing on the wall's side. Hence, the horizontal line is very low and there are clear examples of foreshortening on the wall, windows and arches, the implied line also follows the same wall to the stained glass in the back. The focal point is in the back and there are other areas of interest mostly where the details were added. The areas of interest were also emphasised by varying the tonal values. The marks are varied since the ceiling and wall are made of different materials, same technique was applied for the rest of the elements: the tainted glass and the pillars. There was an attempt at rendering light on the wall but that proved more difficult with pen markers.
Although the perspective is fine in general, there are mishaps all over the image, starting from the ceiling where the lines are not parallel, to the windows and the ceiling below the arches. To add to the fact that some of the arches are not forming the shape required.
