This piece used a 4H, 3H, 2H and a 1B pencil. It took
roughly 30 minutes to sketch the outlines and 1 hour to shade.
The shading of this composition shows no colour as the
objective was to shade using pencils to create a contrast between each of the
perspectives. The darker parts are closer to the foreground, whilst the lighter
parts are part of the middle ground and background. This is to help show depth
and scene arrangement. The hard outlines of the scene help give us an idea of
how the room structure was like, whereas the softer shades help show darkness and
help create shadow effects.
The arrangement of the walls help exaggerate the effect of
depth as it was very easy to show where each of the walls are. This including
the shading helps give a perfect example of depth as the composition of the
piece is arranged in a way that the rule of thirds is applied as well. With the
darker wall being the foreground, the more lighter wall being the middle ground
and the lightest wall being the background, helps create the important effect
of depth.
Finally, there is also a nice contrast between the dark
areas and the light areas. The white ‘cut-outs’ on the walls help contrast the
colour of the wall it is on.
