Ok… I might be an architect, and love drawing buildings and have an understanding of how perspective works… but that doesn’t mean that I know how to quickly and easy sketch perfect perspective. I am far too lazy to do proper set up lines and normally hide behind drawing straight elevations or heavily decorated buildings where my scribbles hide wonky perspective.

So a modern, simply fenestrated skyscraper in dramatic perspective is somewhat scary to me – hence I need practice. Also want to improve my water..but I got a bit distracted while doing this and it is a bit half hearted (BTW as I am a leftie I often work right page first). I can’t use the excuse that this was done late at night this time!

Hmmm… can I spill the beans yet about why I am drawing a Venice palace and the Empire State building on the one spread?… not yet…but just a hint that these kind of sketches will soon start to appear
