“Novodevichy Convent”<\/strong> by Victoria Fedorova<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is the official winner of the Drawing Challenge<\/strong>!!!\u00a0She will be receiving exposure on all of our platforms, which will reach our active audience and blog with over 15,000 visits per day!\u00a0Architecture is a canvas for the stories of our lives!<\/p>\n

Fedorova<\/strong> states that “Architecture is a canvas for the stories of our lives”, and she prefers to start filling this canvas with sketches. For her, “sketching is like hunting for ideas, visual thinking, and just a pleasant way to unleash your true creativeness”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To improve this skill and make it more enjoyable she usually draws Plein-air. “Plein-air drawing is an additional source of inspiration and a great opportunity to practice lines and composition”<\/strong>, as well as try new technics, discover new forms and materials.<\/p>\n

As an\u00a0urban sketcher<\/u>, Fedorova<\/strong> always travels with a small selection of ink pens 0.05 – 0.3 mm, pencils (graphite hardness HB-2B), a couple of alcohol markers, and an A5 sketchbook. She prefers sketching live, it can be both challenging and rewarding, because the view you’re trying to capture is constantly changing, lights, shades, and people never stop. Though your drawing is going to be a unique expression of what you, but not the camera of your phone, see.<\/p>\n

She usually makes a couple of quick brief sketches outside and, if she finds the overall view and composition of the drawing attractive, Fedorova<\/strong> usually creates a more detailed analog in a larger format.<\/p>\n

Let us share also your great work with our Community and<\/strong>\u00a0participate in the Portfolio Challenge<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In her drawings, she captured the outline of Moscow from the banks of Moscow river, “Novodevichy Convent”, also known as Bogoroditse-Smolensky Monastery, and Rozhdestvenka Street.<\/p>\n

Fedorova<\/strong> always pays attention to entourage, in other words, surroundings for architectural sketches. She believes, that vegetation influences our drawings in many ways. Generally, trees do not pretend to be the dominant of your sketch, but they set the scale, play an important role in composition, represent intended shading, just adore the overall look of her work and gives an understanding to which climate zone your project belongs to.<\/p>\n

I am\u00a0inclined to academic drawing, so I find sculptures and models perfect for practicing drawing skills in depicting motion, pliant forms, natural beauty. I\u00a0usually use dry materials, red chalk, or coal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
