Drawing

Where to my friend IV

I’m about three weeks behind where I want to be with this - puppy sitting seriously cut into my drawing time.  I have now “completed” the in-filling of the background building to the left of and below the hanging sign (upper left), at last.  This was much trickier than I thought. 

Indeed this is my second go at it. The first time I did it I thought: yeah, not bad.  Then when I stood the drawing upright, because I draw with the paper in landscape mode, I thought: Holy snapping duck shit, Batman - that is crap!  The perspective and depth of field was way way out, so I had to erase and re-do it.  Anyway it’s coming together....slowly. 

What you see above measures about 650mm X 400mm, so I’m halfway there.  I still have to complete the overhead wires in the upper half and one other element to hang off the wire near the hanging sign then the top section will be finished. 

I’m still half-heartedly (some may say half-arsedly) conceptualising bit and pieces in the lower half of the drawing.  Again, I’ve taken out insurance in the composition (there’s a tip for the uninitiated) so if the lower half doesn’t work, then at least the top half of the drawing will be usable.
