Basic Drawing Final Project
This was my final drawing for the class. It took several weeks and some luck with the weather
to make this. I selected a group of three trees with pink flowers near the school's library
as my theme. I used several pencils, all in the B (or was it H?) range to draw it. Had to
judge the size and shape of everything, and wait for Mr. Sun and his friends The Clouds to
cooperate so I could get everything how I wanted it. I tend to do my drawings lighter than I
think I do, because while I'm drawing, I'm very close to the picture and think they're rather
dark.
There are the three trees in the foreground of the picture. Behind them to the left is the
former Amos Eaton Hall, home of the Computer Science and Math departments at RPI. To the right
is the former Green Building, home of the spooky architects. The rest is the ground and
pathways surrounding the area. (I say "former" names because the EX-president of RPI decided
it would be a fantabulous idea to waste our tuition money to rename all of the buildings.)
