I spent most of today drawing. I thought it was about time I got back in touch with my so-called creative side. This is really a complex drawing and I'm at last getting to the stage where I think it might turn out OK. I think the complexity has tended to overawe me, that probably explains why I decided to start on Panel #3 as opposed to Panel #1 - namely if you can see (complete) the end point then maybe that'll provide the motivation to finish the first two panels (that's the theory anyway).

I want to pay some thanks to Brian Blank who's entry for an Illustration Friday inspired me to get back to the drawing board. Brian's exquisite and finely detailed work is a great spur.

So what have I achieved for my efforts today, a bit of streetscape fill-in in the top right corner. There is still a hell of a lot work to be done, but at least it's coming together.

This looks like it’s going to be amazing. I don’t have nearly enough patience to take on a project of this size and detail. Maybe someday. Thanks for the inspiration.
love

OH I see now why you said “Where to my friend” was incomplete! It will be amazing!
