Week 10: Classical Architecture- Quick sketch 2

Here are a couple of 30 minute sketches completed in pencil. It establishes a high vantage point in one of the balcony's, chosen for its unusual angle facing away from the stage an towards the back of the room. The center of the image focuses on the curve which straight away entices the audience's eye to follow. The perspective reveals the hundreds of chairs lauded on the ground floor, all conveying an interesting aspect of the theatre to draw.

The upper image conveys an interesting pattern on one of the main seating areas rooftops. This one is more successful in establishing classical era architecture and really establishes shadow well. Further time on both these images would be spent refining the detail in the various patterns around the focal points. But more work would be especially dedicated to the side image. The chairs below the balcony are to untidy, messy and ruin the image more than any other as the tones are incorrect and the curvature of the room should have been established within them.
