A city landscape drawn by me and my niece

avatar


Just a couple of weeks ago, I was visiting relatives in St. Petersburg. The weather was not very good, but I visited many museums and exhibitions. And my niece (she is 19 years old) suddenly told me that she practices a little drawing. To my surprise, she likes to depict urban landscapes. One evening we agreed to draw together, and that I would tell her some of the subtleties of working with a simple pencil.

Всего пару недель назад я был у родственников в Петербурге. Погода была не очень хорошая, зато я посетил много музеев и выставок. А ещё моя племянница (ей 19 лет) вдруг рассказала, что немного практикуется в рисовании. К моему удивлению ей нравится изображать городские ландшафты. Одним вечером мы договорились порисовать вместе, и чтобы я ей рассказал некоторые тонкости работы простым карандашом.


Anastasia (that's my niece's name) had a couple of A5 albums and we started drawing. The most difficult thing was to build the perspective and individual details of the scene. Although the geometry of the drawing is not very complex, it was important to tell how to properly distribute the sections of houses, while making the correct angles of the lines.

У Анастасии (так зовут мою племянницу) имелись пара альбомов формата А5 и мы приступили к рисованию. Самым сложным оказалось построение перспективы и отдельных деталей сцены. Хотя геометрия рисунка не очень сложная, важно было рассказать, как правильно распределить участки домов, сделав при этом правильные углы линий.


I hope that Nastya enjoyed our joint drawing and will remember how we worked together. As a result, we got these drawings, which I publish in today's post.

Надеюсь, Насте понравилось наше совместное рисование и она запомнит то, как мы работали сообща. В итоге у нас получились вот такие рисунки, которые я и публикую в сегодняшнем посте.


Paper, simple pencil, dimensions 15x20 cm

Looks similar to the "Italy" Counter-Strike map, which is one of my favorite Counter-Strike maps. I like it.

She draws more for herself, for fun. But perhaps she will do more professional things in the future. : )

Drawing architecture is very difficult. It only takes a few mistakes to throw the perspective off completely. Very nicely done. I’m sure spending this time with your niece was great fun.

Anastasia loves to draw architecture. This is probably because she lives in a beautiful city and sees the eternal beauty of palaces and museums every day.
