Description @.@ Because I can't think of a more creative title at 01:00

My fall term final for my perspective class. Due tomorrow. St. Basil's Cathedral, Moscow, ladies and gentlemen.

Tweaked slightly, because otherwise I would never get it finished in time. I left out the crosses and the exquisite golden trim around the spires for this reason. Had I more time, I'd SOOOO try to tackle that trim.

This also DEVOURED my white pencil c: Joy is me. Now I must venture to Art Supply and buy more.

Prismacolor coloured pencils, approximately 30 hours
11x17 in.

NO grids, NO rulers, ALL freehand. C: because I'm a very modest person and I feel the privilage to brag just this once.

Gloat, gloat gloat. You deserve it! 8D This came out very cool. And I'm willing to make a donation to the "Ali-needs-a-white-pencil" Fund.

And to think I put more work into it today, after I already scanned it @.@ I was anticipating this... So I'm gonna hope I get it back next year.... or someday, in order to re-scan XD The colour became a lot brighter, and I put in more shadow on the spires.

I don't recall there being a fund >.> However if you insist, I won't deny your charity c: Onleh one though! I can't accept mas de uno. You're already doing more than enough for me as it is.

Make ure they give it back to you! Or else that's robbery. XD

There's a tiny fund, I believe. X)

I'll give it to you next time we meet up for lunch, whenever that is.

And I think I may only have one, so either way, that's all you'd get. XD

Really, really good looking. the perspective looks pretty spot on. Only nitpick is the snow looks a tad flat, prolly needing at least a little hint of shading, but that's just me. xD; The detail in everything else is exquisite. Very nice work.

alisalley In reply to Mech-Maker [2009-12-16 16:50:57 +0000 UTC]

You're probably right So my teacher might have me throw in a bit of shading there before I turn it in. The photo I used as reference had overcast lighting, so all the shading here was from exaggeration XD;

Thank you

I ended up putting in some light blue to give the snow some dimension, and then I ended up laying down more shadow and more colour on the blue, on the green, and the yellow. So I'm hoping to get it back next year to re-scan XD

Oh my GOD, How could you do this without a ruler?

You're really good with colored pencils. This looks so realistic
And too amazing for words. sdkfjsdl @_@ <3

alisalley In reply to Meedleboot [2009-12-16 16:56:20 +0000 UTC]

I've got an eye for precision XD; You shoulg see my freehand perspective excersizes from the beginning of the term. All it takes is practice and a loooot of patience before drawing straight lines becomes rather simple to do.

The only reason this is really realistic is because of colouring techniques I had learned in the middle of the term c: I only recently learned to use coloured pencils correctly XD;;
