Today I sat on the second level of Starbucks, drawing from the window. I attempted to draw the building of the shop 'FAT FACE' hoping to draw the street, building and the environment around it. So that I can further understand the relationship of the people with the city.
Drawing with fine liner, I started drawing from the rooftop going downwards,
however, Once again I have struggled with space and composition- I drew it too big that I did not get to fit the whole length of the building, nor mange to get the whole height. (Which I wanted to get the street setting.) The positive is I managed to get more detail of the building in a bigger scale, which will be useful when drawing the street. And I like the way the building looks in fine liner.
I need to practise my composting, and plan size as I tend to go off the page.
For this drawing I used copic markers and spectrum noir pens, I did basic block colouring, but also added over lays of over colours to get the right tone. There is no shading other than the fine liner, to get a more bold comic like look.
I would like to try using water colour and also experiment with dyes instead of using marker pens to colour in.
As I was unable to capture the street in my first drawing, I decided to do a page dedicated to people walking past- However this proved to be difficult. I only had one view from the window, so once some had walked past the window, they were gone from sight. A lot of people walked very fast, so I only have a few seconds to draw them before they were gone. I coloured in the parts of different people I did get, even though the lack of detail makes them look like abstract shapes.
