First, I was just drawing some random view of a landscape (such as grass, mountain, path, etc) and characters, with some line drawings which I know, and kept practising for the real drawing. However, I realised that I could draw properly afterwards on a different piece of paper. I felt confident, but also including teacher’s help, I was able to accomplish drawing successfully so I think I made progress.
I started from background (sky), Middle (view from the mountain), and finally foreground (grass and path) plus people with another small piece of paper. For the sky, I traced clouds with some random loose lines. For the middle I used many sorts of line techniques such as stippling, hatching, and little bit of contour hatching. For the foreground, I used stippling, and grass. I also included some different tone on each mountain (dark and light).
There were some improvements I needed. Since I am pretty clumsy with cutting huge paper and matching for middle and foreground, and also making the material (I don’t know what its called) the stuff which I stick it onto the picture and show it as 3D, so I think I just need to get used to it.
For researching, I could have had looked closely and concentrate on line techniques. I was sort of scamping with researching, because it seemed a little troublesome to look for the specific lines and patterns, so most of my drawing included similar patterns, so next time I would investigate some more and try varieties of patterns and line drawing.
Overall I am satisfied with my result. I think I improved with drawing, such as realistic grass and mountain. My drawing was vivid and I want to keep up my work on next unit.
