color study


our assignment was to render sketchup perspectives in different styles using four colors from a maud gatewood painting. the first perspective was a mixture of loose and tight rendering. i used no straight edges and only markers. i also tried adding shading on the back of the paper... but the color was too dark and ruined my back corner!


in this loose style, i referenced the style of ivo drpic. i added color in layers the way he does, which made this the most challenging of the three renderings.


this is the clean, precise style that i feel most comfortable with. i used colored pencils on top of markers and showed light in a slightly different way than i usually do. overall, i liked this assignment for the fact that it helped me step outside my box.
