Start this drawing by drawing the com -
position first with pencil. That way, if you
make any mistakes you can rectify them by
rubbing them out. To establish the
composition or the drawing on the paper,
use your previous learning. For example, use
the window mount to help you frame your
picture. As you look through the window on
the world move it about to establish a
composition that you are happy with. Then
draw what you see through the window on to
your paper, placing and mapping the objects
in the scene relative to the proportions of the
paper. The drawing on the paper should
mirror exactly what is seen through the
window mount but on a lager scale (see the
example of the rough pencil sketch).
Now you have established your
composition you can begin to draw over the
pencil lines with a felt tip pen that is best for
making lines. With this pen one can also imply
the idea of texture, as shown in the drawing
on the doors of the warehouses. One can also
make tonal areas with this pen. In the drawing
I have made tone by using a series of parallel
diagonal lines at the foot of the buildings to
give a transparent impression of glass or shop
fronts. To give a sense of the windy weather I
have drawn the clouds with a rhythmical
squiggly line that gives the impression of
movement across the sky. Plus the drawn line
which implies the telegraph wires has beenPens – projects185
