Sketching at Town Hall

Block Two

Continuing Personal Development - Sketchbook

Today afternoon we went to sketching to the Manchester Town Hall. Manchester Town Hall is a Victorian, Neo-gothic municipal building in Manchester, England. Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse, the town hall was completed in 1877. The building exemplifies the Victorian Gothic revival style of architecture, using themes and elements from 13th-century Early English Gothic architecture. Gothic features most prominent in the Manchester Town Hall are low rib vault ceilings and tall arched windows.

This exercise was useful to engage with details and improve my observational drawing skills. I enjoyed drawing. :)

Here are my sketches in original:

In these drawing I drew the front entrance of Town Hall. It is really beautiful and full of with little details. My style is very sketchy. I don't like drawing every single detail in long time. I always start the drawing proccess with analysing the space what I want to create on my paper. I try to estimate the sizes of each object and making the main lines.Then I start to develop the details. I also like using shading, it gives alive feeling of my drawing.

After I came home, I wanted to experiment with my drawings in a Photo Editor.
