Exteriors

Exteriors took a lot of time. Rhodes is more complex than I originally imagined, and day light savings time ended, meaning I had less daylight to render it in. But overall, I enjoyed it--I sort of feel like it's something (once reworked to add those two extra layers of space) I might watercolor and give to Andrew (my bf who goes to rhodes)'s parents or something, as like a, "look, your son goes here, and I made it!" type of deal.

I liked working in conte in class. I find it easier to maneuver than charcoal pencils--since charcoal pencils for me tend to not ever get sharp enough, always need to be sharpened, and then the lines that are produced, even when light, are not thin enough. And, yes, the conte can give super-textural lines, but for some reason they can also give me crisper lines.
I would looove to work on grey/colored paper sometime and work in black and white conte. Even if only in line. But I guess I'll probably have to wait until next semester for something like that...
