Directorship 1 - The Corridor


Edit after writing: Actually... looking at it again, i can see that what i tried to do was start drawing again from the foreground and taking it out of proportion  Everything behind the door is at a scale and the door is at a completely different scale.

My First Directed Study is of a Corridor. The Corridor is situated from outside a glass door, looking through. There are circular lights and small indents where the doors are.

I really feel like i should be using a ruler to do the lines, but still continuing on.

I understand why we work on A3 size books now, looking at the picture and comparing it to the Real World, there is a lot of space in the middle of the image that has been squashed together. I believe that part of this is because I am looking from the top and then from the bottom, but because there is just blank space in a lot of the environment  my mind forgets the measurements i have been working in. this is something to keep in mind for later work. Details of the middle are brought into focus because of the darker areas and detail on the fire extinguisher, to counter this, details of the foreground and back ground are less defined. On reflection, i believe i should have put more detail if i wanted to do that.
Another problem is the light. i messed up the size and ended up with many lines trying to correct it, but my Foreshortening failed to work correctly even so.
In future, i will also lightly shade the carpet in order to show a difference between wall and floor (and in this case, the door in the foreground)
