This drawing took me 2 hours to complete I think that I did a good job with certain parts of the picture such as the shading inside of the fire place I think that I got the perspective wrong on the tables to the left of the picture.

 I decided to draw a picture of the couch in the front room I think I made a good job of the cushions and the shading around them to show that they were overlapping this picture took me around an hour to finish I believe that I could have done better with the blinds as they look quite 2d or as if they are all stuck together rather than overlapping one another.
In this picture I found it hard to get the right perspective of the table and ended up getting it wrong and giving it a look as if it was twisting around also the picture in the background is slanted which I should have done a better job at in this picture I like the seat that is sat farthest away from me and the farthest away shelf as well because I think they're the only parts where I got the perspective exactly right.

shading practice

This picture took me 45 minutes and think that it isn't good enough for the amount of time I spent but I do like the shading that I did on the jug because it looks like it is darker the on the inside. I think that I didn't choose the best place to draw the objects from. I think that I didn't do a great job on the cloth over the table I struggled shading the reflection of the water in the glass.

outside phoenix building


I drew these pictures outside of the phoenix building it took me around 30 minutes I think that I did well to get all the detail down I think I could have got the stairs shape better and I could have tried drawing the branches and leaves on to the tree I think I could have done a better job on the shading as well.

richmond building

These are all pictures that I drew inside the Richmond building I spent in between 5 and 10 Minutes on each drawing i think i could have got a bit of shading done in the time I spent but I'm quite happy with the outcome of some of the drawings my favourite is the one on the bottom right as I think I did well getting the detail right down the sides of the hanging chandelier.

sheet over stools

This drawing took me 45 minutes and I'm quite proud of the shading that I have done on this picture I think that it really shows the shape that the cloth was in and shows the folds as well one part of the picture that I don't like is the stool legs that show under the sheet I feel I got the size wrong and struggled to shade them properly.
I feel that in this drawing that I could have spent the time I had a lot more efficiently and got more shading done in the 15 minutes that I had and I really should have got all of the shapes down as well. The biggest problem was that I started shading before I finished getting the whole shape down and ending up not finishing either.

This is a drawing of one of the buildings found behind the Horton building this quick sketch took me 5 minutes i think that i could have done a lot better and got more down on the page in the time that I had.

This drawing took me about 20minutes I think that I should definitely have got a lot more down than I did I think the my main mistake was that I took so much time up by trying to put all the detail in to the cars rather than just getting the main shapes down then filling in the detail.
This is a quick sketch of one of my friends I did whilst he was eating his toast I'm not sure how much time I had as I just drew as much as I could before he finished his toast and moved I would guess at about 2 minutes i think that i should have got more down but i did find it quite difficult as he would keep his arm still.
