Drawing027Hardcarpet

Being that I’ve had the topic of perspective on the brain lately I decided to do another perspective drawing tonight.  It’s an image from the film “The Shining”.  All seemed to be going pretty well until I decided to start on the carpet design.  If you’ve seen “The Shining” you know the carpet.

 

At first I was excited by the prospect of drawing that carpet pattern but once I got there I changed my mind.  I knew there must be some kind of cool trick or technique to drafting the pattern but I figured I’d probably have to cut the paper out of my sketchbook and tape it to a table to really set up a system to accurately draw the pattern.  Unfortunately, I can’t be up that late tonight.

 

I have to study more drafting techniques.
