So, this is some of what I've been up to.
This drawing was a commissioned piece for a realtor. The house is stunning (inside, too). And will you just look at all those bricks. When I started this I didn't know I was going to be so fiddly with them, and do them individually like this. Usually I develop a kind of shorthand to indicate bricks or whatever, but once I started, I knew I had to draw them all to do it justice. (Yes, I'm a little nuts.) So, long (long long long) story short, I glued myself to the drawing table and drew them all, and this is how it turned out.
This is 9" x 12", Polychromo and Prismacolor colored pencils on Strathmore bristol.
And now I'm doing more chocolate. Another commission piece. This is how they begin. I like to 'map it all out', then go back and do the detailing.
That's it for now. No time to chit chat. Back to the drawing board!

Love the architectural drawing. the angle, or perspective, of the viewer really works!
Anyway you could get paid 'by the brick'??? The bricks are gorgeous of course and I also love the colours in the windows and the ghostly treatment of the houses on either side. Beautiful!
