Highly Detailed Finished Piece – Landscape drawing showing Natural Elements and Buildings

Landscape Drawing with Natural Elements and Buildings - Final Piece

A3 Size

The aim of this drawing was to draw a landscape that had both natural and man made elements. I chose this location as I thought it would be very fun to draw and make a very interesting final piece as this had both natural features with the trees and also man made with the church building and large bricked wall.

The church was very interesting to draw because of all the detail within the building. The building is the main focal point in this drawing along with the bricked wall which takes up the majority of this picture so I wanted to add all the detail to make them stand out. It was a rather dark day and the sun was not out to cast great shadows which would have also created highlighted areas within this drawing. This makes the drawing quite dark but it adds to the kind of gothic effect of this drawing.

As the bricked wall in this drawing takes up over 1/3 of the page I wanted to make sure I added in all the detail within the building and also the natural elements of the trees. The trees in this image were rather large and with not a lot of light on this day were very dark with very little detail. I shaded them as I saw them which were very dark but also I think very effective within this drawing.

I stumbled upon a problem with this drawing as I didn’t give myself enough room to draw the bell tower of the church which made the proportion of the church quite a bit smaller than it originally was. If I had more room to get the correct proportions of this bell tower then the church its self would have stand out a lot more.
