My Friend Ink


This is a piece of art I did for the art class I'm taking. It's a drawing of the library here at my university. I've been meaning to post some of the art I've done for that class so far, but I haven't gotten around to it. So I thought I would at least post this tonight. It's a 2-point perspective drawing, which I'm only just learning how to do. I used pencil to outline the drawing and ink grey pens and a black pen to do the shading. I haven't really done much shading before because it took so much work, but these pens really really helped. I had fun exploring what the pens can do and combining them to make in-between shades. I'm happy with how the trees turned out, especially the ones on the left. I wasn't sure how they'd look. I also really like the water here. It looks how I wanted it to. And the umbrellas have a nice outline to them.
I thought I'd include images of it in different stages of development, since I took them.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. God help me to swallow my pride in both directions and teach me that sometimes the only person being hard on me is me. Thanks for this picture. I love you. God's will be done.
