2nd perspective drawing

This is the 2nd perspective drawing I did for my class.  The objective was to draw four building in 3 point perspective with a change of the ground angle.  I didn't use the angle change very effectively only incorporating it into the upper left corner.  I didn't intent to not use it but I got so caught up in my buildings that I let that aspect get away from me.  I spent a lot of time working on the sidewalk and the lamp posts and ended up not having as much time as I would have liked to do the details on the building.  I do think that this drawing came out a lot better than the first one and was pretty happy with the end result.  I attempted to add some details into the background after I submitted the original to see how it would look but I really wasn't happy with the result and think I should have just left it alone. 

Since I am an online student all of my classes are 6 weeks long and this was my weekly project for week 3.  By this point in the class I was getting more comfortable with the process and really starting to enjoy doing the work.  It was interesting because it was difficult and I often struggled with the drawings, I got about the same amount of sleep during this class as I did with my son's first couple of months, but I enjoyed the struggle and really enjoyed the class.

1st perspective drawing

This is the first drawing I did for my perspective drawing class.  I wanted to do the house I grew up in, while this is basically modeled after it I had to make adjustments as I drew because of my lack of pre-planning with the size and time required.  I am not happy with this as the proportions are all wrong, the door is to small, the windows are to large, the street and driveway are to small.  Overall this is all kind of a mess.  It's not a total loss however since my fence is done almost perfectly.  It took me several hours but the horizontal convergence of all of the boards all the way down is exactly right.  So even though my first attempt at drawing a house in perspective has a lot of issues at least it has one thing that came out just right.  I am kinda proud of the bricks as well, doing those was a huge pain in the ass but they came out looking really well and because of that I ended up using them several more times.  All in all I got a lot of satisfaction out of doing the work and that helped push me to keep trying to improve.
