Value, Line, and Texture

I created this artwork because I wanted to do something I knew I could do, but also push my limits. I didn’t want to push my limits too much, but enough for me to learn from this art piece, creating a new perspective for myself. I hoped to create a one point perspective and a value, line texture, drawing all into one piece. I was hoping to improve as an artist, and with this piece I know I did improve. I think to the viewer they see a nice art piece that is well drawn and detailed. This art piece relates to my previous artwork because it has my style of drawing. My style is sloppy esque type of drawing where it looks sloppy, but very neat and organized. Another artist I would compare myself to is Dylan Cale Jones, his art has that same sloppy esque style of art. Yet, it’s still able to pertain the very organized feel and aspect.

To create this work I looked for how I can make my value, line, and texture drawing unique. I decided to make it a one point perspective drawing from a room. Every time I made this drawing it came out crooked or one part was too hard to make. In the end, I chose to make a hallway and the sunlight coming through the windows on the wall to create my value.

My work reflects on my life because you see how the hallway has two entries where light comes in and there are dark areas, that is my life basically. I have both positive and negative things going on in my life, and I think that the idea of the dark and the light really sums it up. I don’t really think that my art is good enough to impact the world, but if it did then it could start a trend of the sloppy style. The technique of lining up and making sure every line fits is very important. The rays of light have to line up with the things in the room to create the shade which also includes lines. Unfortunately I didn’t learn any new techniques while working on this piece.
