I spend the first few days drawing to get to grips on the medium and the mindset of a perspective drawing. I started with studies of architects’ sketches and drawings, trying to learn how perspective is described, and how line quality helps deliver the depth of field as well as quality and form of the subjects. I then moved on to exercises on trying to describe an image. I started working existing images, for the sake of convenience and accessibility. <\/span><\/p>\n

I remembered that Julius Shulman (an architecture photographer) had a photograph of the apparent depth of field and a linear, easy to articulate architecture. This photograph became my starting point of experimentation. I used both micron pens and dipping ink pen. I have to stress how much more satisfying it was to work with pen and ink, given the variety of line quality I\u2019m able to achieve with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next step will be studies of more architect\u2019s drawings as well as making my own drawings from life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>An ink drawing of jazz musician Kenny Burrell from 1956, quite by chance by a young illustrator named Andy Warhol, 5 years before his first soup can. Enlarge it (by clicking on it) to see how he (or someone) used white out to remove some unwanted lines.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>…and how they cropped and rotated it (and moved his signature) for the album cover. Don’t know what he was paid for it originally but it was recently priced at $125,000.<\/p>\n
