Yesterday I took my friend Karen for a day out to sketch and draw a few of them.
Gillen House - pencil
This took a while, especially with the steam tractor rumbling by spitting oil, smoke and dust. I had to stop and cover my sketchbook each time !
I didn't notice the slight lean until I scanned it...
Cathcart School - Pencil
I decided on a less formal study of the old school. This was drawn quickly with a 'fat' (2mm) mechanical pencil .
Albrecht Seip Boot Shop - Pencil, Pen and Ink
Trying to stay off the roadway (that steam tractor again) I was 'forced' to work on my perspective drawing.
Boy the day went fast, before I knew it we were given the 10 min warning as it was 4:00pm already!
These are nicely done, Alan. I think that lean is caused by the rapid rate that the Earth is rotating :-) Happens to me sometimes too.
