I've been struggling with this drawing for a while now and I'm not sure where it's headed. It is meant to be a large three panel drawing with each individual drawing being about A1 in size. This is the final panel and no I haven't even begun the first two panels. I'll only start those panels if this one turns out OK.

The genesis of this drawing was a desire to draw a streetscape but I got dissuaded by the multiple perspective and intricate detail of the relevant street in question. Compounding this dilemma was the lack of any people interest - so it's been on hold for ages. Still there's been some progress on the conceptual side of things so that I think I know how the final product should look. Anyway this dude will inhabit the foreground and now I just have to start filling in the rest of the remarkably barren 7/8ths of blank paper......this might take a while. If I can get this drawing finished before the new year then that will be a very pleasant surprise.

Goodness gracious Detlef ... it looks finished to me! I like the fact the tie and background are missing ... although will probably change my mind when I see what is currently in process smile

I really like how the texture of the paper works with the jacket on this…my large scale works often tell me to walk away for a while to help avoid screwing stuff up for just the sake of getting something complete…unfortunalely as I go through my sketchbook I see a million ideas that will never be developed because of lack of time…no wonder artists often get depressed!!!as always looking forward to seeing the progressing work…
