Perspective

This is a two hour pencil study looking at perspective on a building. I chose a vantage point that showed the corner of a building, and also another building in the background, which allowed me to use two-point perspective to show depth. 

One of the flaws with this sketch, is that the scale I drew the buildings to meant that my vanishing point was outside of the page. Whilst I tried to make sure my lines were accurate, this was hard with no definitive marks of where the vanishing points were, so I also used the building in the background to work out roughly what angle my lines needed to be at.

Although this drawing was meant to show perspective, I also tried to demonstrate light and shade. Whilst I am pleased with the results, I don't feel I managed to accurately portray it as the sun kept going behind clouds. This meant the areas of shadow and light kept changing sporadically.
