For this sketch, I tried to switch up my approach from my last sketch. Instead of doing a view from above, I picked a view from one particular spot and tried to incorporate a more abstract idea of space. I tried to focus on perspective and angle. I thought drawing the small part of the mall was actually a lot easier than the part of Newbury Street. There was more happening on the street and it was harder to focus on the specific aspects on the street because we were outside. I also couldn’t stand in the spot I centered my drawing on because it was right in the middle of an intersection, so I had to do my observing from both sides of the street and then pull it together on paper when I began to draw. At the Prudential Center Mall, it was easier to stop and draw and so it was easier to notice small details, but the drawing of the perspective and all the lines I tried to incorporate definitely stretched my artistic ability.
