For this project, I started off by taking a picture of a
board game of my choice, but in a different perspective than usual. I then drew
the board game using pencils. After, I then took a variety of shades of water
color on my picture using light washes so the color wouldn't be too dark. You
had to make sure that the color got darker gradually as the picture went
further back. After I was all done with the water colors and they were dried,
it was time to overlap colored pencils on top of the water colors to help
deepen up the color and make it look nicer and more colorful. I tried to also
put shadows underneath the game pieces to make them look more like they’re
standing up off the page, but that didn’t work as well as planned. One of the
most difficult parts of this project is drawing using a vanishing point and a
horizon line since you had to make that yourself and before, we were given the
vanishing point and horizon line. Another challenging thing to do was to try to
make everything you drawed have value and look somewhat realistic. From doing
this piece, I learned that perspective drawing is harder than you think until
you try it for yourself.
