Week 8: Scenic Composition






















This pencil drawing exhibits some very nice composition, and makes sure to place the tree as the focal point of the picture. There is a distinct lack of depth to the background due to the little effort focused on the scene behind the tree, but this doesn't detract from the scene too much, as the tree has lots of detail used on its shaded pencil lines, and even the smaller branches. Its a well observed scene on the whole, though there is a lack of detail in certain parts. The dustbin could have used better shading, to give it the feeling of being a round object. There is also poorly defined lines for the railing, and these could be straightened more. Too much dark shading on the dustbin and the railing is also quite a distraction. The small shadows the artist has sketched on these objects are well done, but maybe a bit too underwhelming, the tiny tree also has no visible shadow.
