Some drawings of Canterbury today, done with only a black
Pitt pen size S.
These are done fairly quickly while the rest of my family engage
in shopping, this one had to be finished very quickly, so the people are not
very good I started drawing the buildings from the top in the middle of the
picture working to the left, then the water tower and worked to the right, the
bottoms being difficult because of the people in the way.
This one hardly got started before I was summoned to a
bookshop.
Here are a couple of photos on the spot, in case you have
become geographically disadvantaged.
Actually looking at the photos they don't really help much, so I guess you can either recognise what the drawings are of or yo can't.
Trees are surprisingly difficult in this medium,
granted they are just a type of scribble, but the wrong type of scribble and
they lack treeness.
The main problem today was finding somewhere to sit in the
sun, as it was a bit cold in the shade, with the sun more behind me than in
front of me, with some of the old Canterbury buildings in front of me. Most of
the public seats in the sun are up the top end of the High Street where a lot
of the buildings are modern.
To do the one of the tower with the clock on it I had
to buy a coffee at McDonalds to get a seat I could draw it from.
apologies for repeating an image here, just comparing a photo with the clock vertical which I was focused on with the drawing.
Looks good, well done that man.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vote of confidence Don, I am never really certain about putting up my own rather dubious artwork, the webstats say a lot of people look at it but very little attracts any coherent comment or criticism, which may be as well.
Deletethis is great, I wish I have your skill.
