rEFERENCE PhotoIn ProgressfINAL This is my eighth concentration, a "cityscape" of Brighton Palace Pier, England. Last summer my family and my grandma went t6 England. We decided to take a day trip to Brighton to shop and check out the pebble beach. This pier has an arcade on it and is extremely busy during the summer. There were venders along it and, of course, shows british pride with the Union Jack on either side.
I started by tracing it out because I am horrible at drawing straight lines and I did not want to mess up the letters in the sign - you have to know your strengths. After I got the hard lines, I went and filled in with more details. The sky was the first thing I did. I put the hue in some places and blended out the tint into clouds, where they were just the white paper. Then I started working on the sign; filling in the letters with a yellow and outlining them with the red. I messed up quite a bit with the outline, but that is okay. I then worked on the building with adding harsh black to create shadows in the distance, darker lines to show different columns, and shading to create more depth. The flags were a little tricky because they are blowing in the wind and don't have exact proportions. My main concern with this piece was creating sharp and straight lines - if I accomplished that is a different story. I hope I did. If I could fix one thing I would fix the the inconsistency of red outlines on the sign - it just bothers me.
