I started this yesterday, but didn’t get to finish it, so here’s the finished version. I just got myself a new A4-size sketchbook to compliment my usual microscopic 4×6″ format. This is the drawing to “break in” the new book. I think the street color steals away a little too much focus, and the perspective slips in the foreground, where it seems ok in the middle. But when i do the preliminary drawing with a sketchy ballpoint pen, it’s not too much of a hassle to do perspectives. I’ll be making fore, and they’ll get better!
This is Mejlgade in Århus, Denmark. It’s not the first time i make perspectives in the area, but if someone has a suggestion as to where I should travel in google streetview, please suggest away! (your neighborhood in X country?)
The streetview scene was something like this
I like the reduction of detail as you move back through the scene – particularly the pink building in the centre of the page.
Thanks. I think for the next one, I’ll try drawing the foreground first with more care and then moving back with a more loose hand
Another lovely sketch.
Thanks!
I’m really enjoying these perspective/architectural sketches! I think your style lends itself well to these subjects.
Thanks a lot! I’ll be doing more of them!
It is lovely.
Thanks !
I like it! Do you live there?
Just finished watching a TV-series called ‘Dicte’, so Aarhus feels … close 🙂
Yeah I live there – or i live close to Aarhus anyway – I study in Aarhus. I haven’t seen the series, but it’s set in Aarhus isn’t it? 🙂 Not exactly a famous city 😉
It was a terrific series! I’m sorry it’s over. Yes, it was entirely set in Aarhus.
Maybe i ought to check it out !
