I slowly added details and all the value. Analyze One principle of design, is unity. There is value through out the whole drawing. There is not just a plain white, or an area not touched with graphite. Another, is contrast in value. The light and darkness gives dimension to the art, making it look real. The whole drawing is of the building. It stretches from one end of the paper, to the other....
