Today in Drawing Class, we took the subway to City Hall to draw the architecture of the City Hall building. This building was made in the Greek revival style, so it has many greco-roman elements all mushed together. Its a very complex building and great for drawing.
We've been doing architectural drawings in pen lately. In order for pen to look good, the mark has to be active and confident. I had some trouble in earlier architectural drawings we did on campus. I would move too carefully through the drawing to get all the proportions correct. This gave my drawings a constricted look. After getting some feedback from Professor David Noyes, I planned on taking a more relaxed approach to drawing City Hall.
When I was drawing City Hall, I didn't worry about proportions and correct angles. I just let the pen do the work. Aside from one mistake with the archway, it turned out very well. David Noyes said my drawing was his favorite. I wish I could have had more time to finish it though.
