Draw IT! Week 1- Class Task

After we finished our one point perspective drawing we were required to make photocopies of our sketch and render them. Rendering involved shading our drawing by playing around with light and shadow.

The aim of my renderings was to show where the sun entered my space and reflect through colours how the suns light would affect the shading.
