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.
