VISUAL DESIGN

Leicester history!

Off to the guild hall! Thank god this wasn't another trip all the way across Leicester in search of some amazing thing to draw. The guild hall is just across the street from the halls I live in, so it won’t be a problem with taxis or long distance walks. It was a nice history lesson as well as visually appealing. There is loads of stuff to draw there like old chests, chairs and the architecture. For some reason there was a lot of volume like inside with the high windows which really made the place one of my favourites to visit. I can’t remember if I have explained this in my blogs before but not only do I have a thing for straight line but for some reason lighting interests me soo much in every project! Every project I am trying to add some sort of atmospheric lighting and volume light, just to add some mood into my drawing. But because I’m still a little noob I still have lots to learn.

This project however was really easy to add some great light into the room. I’m really happy with the finished painting and would love to go back and maybe draw a different room. If I were to re do that painting I would add a few more textures into the walls and into the wood as they look a bit bland at the moment.
