10 minute pencil sketch on King St West

 Today like every day I do the driving and we avoid the cold, paid parking and ttc problems by scooting out to do errands together. When I am waiting in the car, I try to frame the vast city into a small rectangle in the notebook I carry in a pocket. Today it went well, but instead of pencil shading for value I washed in some Payne’s Grey with a water brush at home.


It worked well as an IG post also. One point perspective is pretty easy= less angles to worry about. It’s amazing to me how little detail is really needed to get the story across.

On large paper, with flowing washes, I can see this being fairly dramatic. The cars on the left could be developed, mainly in shadow with strategic highlights or reserved whites. The FedEx truck lettering would be readable.

Next time, remember to get a reference photo:)
