A trip to Bradford Cathedral was included this week, where we were asked to choose a good vantage point and draw a part of the amazingly detailed architecture. I used graphite stick to draw this image as I found that this was a good choice because I was able to then use a rubber to recreate the light through the window which seemed a good finishing touch. I feel the layers in this image is successful as it manages to show the depth well, achieved by using shading in different gradients and at different levels of detail. The detail in the foreground is very high mainly on the arches, helping to define the shape of the arches. This is also aided by the shading. This is in contrast to the background which is not as detailed, which was intentional as firstly it is at a greater distance and secondly I didn't want it to draw the focus from the foreground. I was very happy with the finished product of this image and would say it is one of my best to date.
