Visual Language - A familiar place

The Roger's household 

I decided to draw the interior and exterior of a place I spent most of my Christmas, somewhere that is familiar to me. I chose to draw here because I love the old furniture within the house and the fact that it gives it character.

In my first drawing I used ink because it's a material I enjoy using and I'll use blue and gold to create tones. The gold worked well here to create the different tones within the wood furniture and the blue worked nice for outlining without it being too dark and unable for it to blend well with the gold.  

I liked that my glass is in the foreground because it shows some depth. I also tried to work with the rule of thirds, so that if we're looking at this as a storyboard, the camera can pan across to the character or zoom in towards him. 

Because this drawing took me a while to do, I decide to choose different materials for my next drawings to get the done quicker and also to see how using a different drawing materials would effect what was communicated in the drawing. 

I then moved on to drawing digitally as I also feel comfortable with this material, I drew them on my iPad so I could sit in the corner of the room and draw straight on the screen. 

The line quality on these aren't as great as hand drawing them, because I find drawing straighter lines in a quick motion not as easy as hand drawn. 
I stuck to basic line drawings for these to keep them simple and used a dark grey to keep the image looking soft.

I then decided to draw from looking out windows. I did a drawing from each floor to get a different perspective of the same view. 

I wanted to draw from a really odd point of view so I sat in the wardrobe and drew from there. The finished imaged made me think of Monsters inc where monsters would look out of the wardrobe into a bedroom. I think this image could have used some colour as it's difficult to tell what is drawn on either side.
