I chose to do a drawing from a Leonardo da Vinci perspective. The black and white drawing above shows a man pulling his pant leg over his cowboy boot as he sits in a wooden chair. The setting is in a very simple indoor space with a wooden floor and a fireplace in the background. The wooden boards of the floor offered a very useful way of giving the aerial perspective of the room. Other tools include the difference in detail of objects up close compared to those in the background. Another key element is the presence of the right boot by the fireplace, which has very blurred detail compared to the left boot and is considerably smaller in size. The vanishing point is the fireplace and the eye is specifically drawn to the fire itself. The vertical lines of the fireplace run on either side of the fire and the lines of the boards converge in front of the fire. I felt that by doing the drawing in black and white the importance of utilizing other elements besides color to convey the linear perspective was emphasized.
