Crossroad in Surbiton
Here's a desperate attempt to fix the unfixable - this sketch was laying for two months in the waste paper pile, until today, when I decided to see I can make it look like something. After all, I made an effort to make the inital drawing: went to the pub, sat near the window, spent some time sketching the street view.
Here's the result - I covered the half of the page with black ink, as it was the night anyway, and fix some detail here and there.
Gloomy Clapham neighbourhood
The sky yesterday was particularly low, as it can be in a typical winter day in London, so I decided to include a portion of this sky in the sketch as well. It gives otherwise quite lively city scape that unique feeling of hopelessness, which you be come so accustomed you almost pay no attention to. I was dreaming of capturing that feeling for weeks now.
