Architectural. Not my favorite. I don't know why I feel that way, but I suspect that it has a lot to do with the lines. I prefer drawings with curves over straight lines. Absolutes bother me because I like the freedom to interpret what I see. I feel confined when I see shapes that are geometric or tall square buildings.
I would be happier to do architectural drawings or painting if the buildings were softened, and they weren't high-rise buildings. Those aren't very interesting to me. What is interesting is a house with character, or a building off in the woods, something where I can imagine a story in my mind.
I wasn't that excited to do this drawing tonight. But, after I began I enjoyed it. The game was to challenge myself and see if I could do it perfectly. When I look above and see the drawing in a photograph I see imperfections (which is fine), for example:
1. The top of the box, slight curve in the middle of the line.
2. The top of the cup is a little to high on the right side.
3. The octogon in the back is a little too high, it needed to be flat across the top, and the bottom.
My favorite part was finding the shadows.
As for the other two drawings of the same objects.... well, I'm not so thrilled with what I did so I didn't take any pictures. Isn't that great? (smile) I'd prefer not to look at something with a million erased lines on the paper.
