I wish I could draw so exquisitely ...Oh gosh John. I wish I could draw so exquisitely as you do. I know I haven't got the patience. As to straight edges and rulers I am not the one to give any technical advice on drawing, as you know my field is loose watercolour. So all I can say is when a drawing is so technically straight and perfect I feel it becomes uncomfortable for me to view it. I hasten to add I don't get that feeling with this one. Perhaps it is my taste for a looser approach even with a drawing. I suppose I want to see the warmth and accessible imperfections and character of the artist rather than perfect distant coldness from them. Does that make sense? We are all different with our taste of course. Keep enjoying your drawings.

I normally agree about the ruled lines especially as most buildings are weather-worn, it's just that this building has such sharp, well-defined, clean-cut edges, my drawing almost makes it look 'sloppy' by comparison. lol.John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-8910093049939558442014-06-20T21:21:06.672+01:002014-06-20T21:21:06.672+01:00Thank you very much Hilda.Thank you very much Hilda.John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-78830790211029235422014-06-17T11:02:56.772+01:002014-06-17T11:02:56.772+01:00Great idea to isolate the building in this drawing...Great idea to isolate the building in this drawing, and also to filter out unwanted cars using Google streetview.

I think the hand-drawn lines are better, even if the subject was perfectly straight. Ruled lines tend to look lifeless, I think, and more like something from a drawing office.Keith Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114006831583939493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-82389111438739397622014-06-17T01:54:12.696+01:002014-06-17T01:54:12.696+01:00The details you put into a drawing is incredible a...The details you put into a drawing is incredible and so impressive, John.
