Last sketch from the visit to Merrion Street gardens. As our pessimistic summer has been creeping in. One of the topics of conversations at meets has been about depicting foliage. I thought I would have a go at concentrating just on the shapes of the trees. And I ended up with this.
I quite like this, and may give something similiar ago again in the near future. Next time seeing as well If i can get some shape in there too.

If you were wondering what my fellow Leeds Savages look like, here are fellow savages Alex and Vic’s.
This was quite hard to do in places as they were both pretty much wearing black so the contrast in the shading is slightly over emphasised just to bring them out a bit.
Also, you might be interested in a guest blog by Vic’s which was on the guardian site, saying a bit more about what happens at a Leeds Savage meet. You can read it here

Still playing catch up on these posts, but back in June the savages went to the Merrion gardens in Leeds. I started off with ink for a change and did this sketch of St. John’s church.
This is in fact the oldest church in Leeds, and if you ever get the opportunity to look inside it, do so as it’s very interesting

And now onto the bottom. Just a note of interest here, which I have probably haven;t caught to well. If i was drawing this from imagination, I would of done the curves at the bottom of the stairwell going in one direction, but the reality is from my height from where I took this. The lines actually bend into the center.
