Environmental Storytelling - Abandoned Offices - Image Production & Reproduction

For this location I wanted to experiment with choosing one viewpoint of the location and put that viewpoint under different conditions of lighting, different media, qualities of line and see how the changes in the aesthetics of the drawings/images changes how we interpret a space.

In the first two drawings I was more concerned about coming up with accurate representations of the building itself and concentrating on my line work than capturing the atmosphere that surrounds the building.

I will do further studies of close ups of the building to show the effect that dis repair and no maintenance has had on the once corporate looking building, such as rust and the grime of the city staining the brickwork.







In this image I wanted to experiment with colour and how colour can represent certain themes. This image to me represents a reflection of a building in a window and the sunset saturating the
urban landscape.

I think also the rule of thirds is at play in this image with the CCTV camera being close to the bottom left hand corner and the use of negative space in the top left of the image, this composition puts emphasis on the subject matter that is the building.

I have also decided to crop the image with cinematic like borders at the bottom and top of the image.







In this image I decided to use a combination of watercolour and fine liner.
I have realised that I need to practice my perspective drawing and studying the work of others and how they have used perspective in their work in a way that appeals to me - which will inspire and motivate me to improve my drawing practice.
The use of watercolour I felt would have been more effective if i'd have used more control and be more considered about the application of colour.
