sketchbook

Another double page spread from the A4 sketchbook I'm currently working in.

I sat in the Casson's back garden one afternoon and drew an enormous tree they have there (a sycamore, if memory serves me correctly). It took me about four hours to get most of the drawing done and then I returned to it periodically over the weekend to fill in the rest of the leaves.

Initially, there was a lot of heavy hatching on the shed as I tried to capture the cast shadow of the tree but I put so much in that you couldn't see the wood (en shed) for the tree and I had to remove quite a lot of detail with a tippex pen. It's better for it.
