Lesson 2: Outdoor Exercise 1

Lesson 2: Outdoor Exercise 1

Our assignment was to sketch a house.

I actually did this drawing before I did the indoor exercises and it shows. I made many of the mistakes that Liz addresses in the indoor exercises. I got the angles of the roof wrong which made the proportions of the sides of the house wrong. I made the windows too large and the roof of the porch is too big. I was surprised by how difficult is was to draw a simple two story house. So, I learned a lot. You often learn more by attempting to do something before reading how to do it.

Materials: Canson Mix Media 7x10 inch spiral bound pad, pencil, Pentel EnerGel 0.5mm ball needle point liquid gel pen.
