Final Perspective 29th September
Today started like most Mondays. I arrived early to find
another large scale setup of various boxes placed at different angles, around
and on top of a table.
The challenge for today was to use all the skills we have
learnt so far to draw this arrangement. We started off making smaller sketches
of just one or two of the boxes. This was to make us look at and concentrate on
them individually. It would help us when we started on the larger work putting
the various components together. Each object had its own vanishing points and
we had to make sure they all worked and correlated. This was the hard part. If
just one box was out of place, it would throw the rest of the drawing into
chaos.
While I was working I had to remember to keep checking the
scale, measurement and perspective. Boxes are good for this sort of lesson. If
one angle is wrong by even a small amount, it instantly shows. I did have to adjust
things several times because it didn't look right. However, I am noticing relationships
more often, as well as becoming quicker at sketching the overall composition
and deciding my starting point. 
My improvement has been slow, but constant. As far as perspective goes, it may be the last lesson solely dedicated to it, but it is now something that will always be in the back of my mind.
