For this task, I tried to explore London as much as I could. As the culture, architecture, and so on in London is different from my hometown, I was inspired by various things such as nature, people, and buildings rather than focusing on one theme. The work started with my new room in London. In my new room, I focused on variety, but similar brownish colours from moving boxes.

I drew them using pastels, however, there are two flaws. It was good to try to demonstrate the variety of colour on the brown spectrum. Although, since the colour palette consisted of similar colours. After I drew boxes, I realized that color diversity should be more visible. In addition, pastels have the feature which is smudging easily. For this reason, I think it would have been better to express the smudging of pastels with fingers or tissues. 

On the other hand, I was inspired by the autumn leaves seen through from the fallen tree’s branches at Hyde Park for one of my drawings. It is similar but shows the harmony of other colours properly. Many dots between the branches represent the feeling of autumn like the intensity, the softness, and the calmness through individual colours, in my opinion, it is a great way to express it.

Furthermore, I used materials to create colours and patterns such as coloured pencils, oil pastels, and watercolors that are already familiar with. If I had used various materials such as coloured papers, oil paints, gouaches, and acrylic paints, also other methods such as collage, then I could have improved my understanding of drawing and materials through this assignment.
