You're right about the converging verticals ... it was great not to have to worry about them. The complete work took me about 2 weeks working a couple of hours each day. I don't know if you've seen the WIP but the one aspect I'm least pleased with is the distant landscape which is largely just scrimbled. It doesn't work too well but once it's down in ink, it's down.

Fortunately for you, the high camera shot has meant that there were little signs of converging verticals that can cause so many problems when drawing buildings. Goodness knows how long this took you, it must have taken ages. I love the little Loweryesque figures too.<br />I recognised the place in the photo straight away, me living in Market Harborough, which is the next town to the North._Frankb10https://www.blogger.com/profile/18151551321981740679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-900662809516188552010-01-05T20:34:39.909+00:002010-01-05T20:34:39.909+00:00Thank you very much Keith, it's certainly been...Thank you very much Keith, it's certainly been my biggest ever project. I'm still trying to decide if it's finished. I tend to think the large open 'precinct' in the centre is too stark and overpowering. I've added some gridlines to tone it down a bit, but I'm not sure it's enough.<br /><br />Happy New Year.John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-76823214982412986972010-01-05T20:09:31.888+00:002010-01-05T20:09:31.888+00:00I admire your patience with this John.
