Description A rather lazy drawing of Venice (referenced) for school.
As you can see, the left side got a bit more time and effort than the right.

I don't think I put more than two hours' work in total. Unfortunately, while I love it, Art class got the bottom of the work-pile this year- thus speedily done assignments barely worth submission here.

While I can tell that this is somewhat lazily drawn, it isnt bad, and you can tell that you know how to draw. It almost looks stylized more than anything else. The perspective is a bit off, but thats to be expected if you just reference a photo. If you cared to, this could be easily redone in 1 point perspective very easily. The main problem area (for perspective) is the bridge, mostly where it connects to the walls, and somewhat in general. For shading, I find its more effective to use evenly spaced lines, or something more reminiscent of cross hatching (going with the plane). It does seem like you've done that in some areas though, so it might just be due to time constraints. I do however like the way you layered the lines on the right near the boat, it reads as water quite nicely.

the canal actually wasn't perfect one-point, as (and I only spotted this after it was too late)the canal curved to the left. I did what I could but kept the near buildings faithful to the angles they were at in the photo.
I could have re-done it to be one-point, but as the teacher asked to have the photo brought in, tot, I decided to keep as faithful as I could. In t he was more concerned about whether things got smaller as they got farther away than anything else.

I'll try more cross-hatching next time,maybe. P:

pffff
Buuut I was so laaaazy... I could have made it much better, and about ten thousand details are missing... and... and... *continues ranting until she realises it doesn't actually matter because it's already been handed in*

Thank you!
I'm glad to be back from vacation. Do you know what 2 months of no internet and cell phone can do to you?

Yeah...
I mean, I hardly use my cell, but only having internet five or six times over two months left me pining sometimes.
