Week 6: Industrial study

This weeks study was for me at the National Railway museum in York. I there made some quicker sketches of some of the engines there before settling down and drawing the piece here to the left. I used a graphite stick since I wanted to work a lot with the light and shadow and the graphite stick allows much more control of that rather than, for example, marker pens.

I chose to draw this angle of the trains because I get a good view of the front with lots of nice details and there is also a nice foreshortening. There also is two different perspective in the piece which also was why I decided on this particular angle.

I framed drawing with the hard, dark lines around it. The lines breaks the "peace" and bring some edge to the drawing and make it more interesting to look at.
