During my trip to California this summer I was able to take photos and took the inpiration photo for this art in Beverly Hills. The typical photo of palm trees down the road inspired me to draw this in that it incorporated perspective. I chose to add some greenery around the tall leaning trees but I also added a sidewalk that further increased the perspective of the art. The sky is also a unique creation that I created by blending prisma colors to add more interest. While I was drawing my road I started with the goal of coloring it in and not looking at its value and perspective. Then I started to add dark red and purple in the back and made it lighter as the road came closer. I also learned to use lines that follow down the road that allowed for proper value and shape. Just by using these vertical lines the road comes alive. I learned about shading with prisma colors by blending blue, purple and some red. Drawing this road increased my knowledge of perspective and value and how they work together. This was my first true final drawing with prisma colors. Before I had only experimented with them but I thought doing a landscape would be a good time to start. I also used the prisma to make darker colors than I usually do. I feel that this paid off in that the tree and the road had a new dimension and more interest in the darker points. I was weary of the outcome but I feel the colors really helped my drawing stand out. |
