This is the sketch that I drew for my one point perspective drawing. I came up with the idea of a tsunami wave going over the city because I love those kinds of movies where it has a survival theme. This idea came from the movie called "The Day After Tomorrow." So I guess that was my "inspiration" for drawing this piece. This drawing is unique because I made the city be near the beach while the one in the movie was in New York City. In this project, I learned a new technique which is are perspective drawings. I learned that perspective drawings are a technique used to represent three-dimensional images on a two-dimensional picture plane. I enjoyed learning this new technique because I now know how to draw things into perspective. This sketch was drawn in only one point perspective. From this project, I was able to learn how to represent the way that objects appear to get smaller and closer together, the further away they are.
This is my final product. I think I could have added a little bit more detail to the buildings but I didn't have enough time to. My sketch was very more detailed than my final one and I forgot to but the sail boat in the tsunami wave to make it seem more 'dynamic.' I think the palm trees made it look 10484x more beachy and helped the theme of the drawing. I made the colors very colorful in an effort to make it more warm and summer like. The art of the project that took the most time and what I did not enjoy was the coloring. It was a lot of coloring and it got tiring after a while. A tool I used was technology to find references on what I was going to draw for this project. Overall I enjoyed learning perspective and I think it will benefit me in the future.
