It's been a while since my piggy snout rooted around this blogspot.
So, what's been happening?
Well, the crit went pretty well I'm pleased to say. Jamie doesn't like Escalonia ("hates" it in fact ), nor my criss-crossing bridges. He referred to my planting on the perennial terraces as "dog biscuits". But the Escalonia and bridges will stay, as I quite like them both. The dog biscuits will morph into candyfloss or some other delicious treat.
My plan rendering is "verging on overworked" but my model was "more interesting" I was encouraged by the comment "there's a level of strength to it", and I will hang on to that thought as compliments don't come floating by too often. Oh and both he and Julia thought the sequential sketches were OK - just need a similar sky to draw them together.
The section is weak - but I knew this. And the second one is...... missing completely.
So all in all, a good result. Plenty to work on over Easter of course. Especially as we now have our selected portion to develop at a scale of 1-50.
I cast the Easter eggs aside and set to work on the sections first. They took several days. Every single thing takes days. Then I completed the rendering on the plan, apart from some hand-rendering that I will complete when it's been printed.
Then I revisited the sequentials, added the final one and gave them the suggested sky.
Then I went away for a night in a hotel and had a couple of days walking in the freezing wind but nice bright sunshine... bliss.
Now I'm back and had a look at the 1-50. Must confess, I don't quite know where to start. I really can't remember how I started when I did this for the 1-200. My brain seems to be missing a little portion.
I will sleep on it. Got some work (remember that - the stuff that actually pays you money) to do tomorrow, so I will return to the task later in the week).
Posted below are my latest 'improvements'.
