For my drawing class I'm supposed to find a drawing that I'll be making a copy of. It needs to be an interior or exterior space of some architecture with a good amount of depth to it. I looked in the Art History forum, but I didn't see any artist that had something like this. Right now I'm trying to find something from Google. Does anyone know of some artist or drawing that would fit this description?

You mean like Piranesi. There are some examples on these sites:http://www.artchive.com/artchive/ftptoc/piranesi_ext.html

Omg negativespace thanks ! I was looking for that artist since I saw a documentary about yo-yo ma. They recreated his environments (http://cgfa.sunsite.dk/piranesi/index.html) in 3D and posed the musician in there for each segments of the documentary. It was breath-taking. I'll try to find screenshot of it!

Thanks for the info. I think those should work. I'm supposed to make an exact copy, so it will be challenging ;).
