…is right before the dawn. To quote Bob Dylan.
Possibly against my better judgement (and others – thanks for the comments!)), I decided to do a bit more work on the sketch from last week.
I introduced a bit of more colour with Conté crayons, and some charcoal to liven it up a bit, and also to increase that blackness. Is it better? I don’t know.
I sometimes feel that “the darkest hour” arrives when you realise that you have just ruined a perfectly good sketch by carrying on and on; perhaps not in this case, but certainly other drawings that I have worked on.
I’ll stop there.

I’ve been flicking between the two. The only thing I’d say is that the street light direction seems more recognisable on the first one. Not ruined by any means!

Thank you. You could be right. I was aware I didn’t want to have too sharp an edge to the street lights as it was foggy but I might have gone too far in the other direction.

Mmmm – it now stretches the viewers imagination (especially if said viewer hasn’t seen version 1). What IS the artist seeing here …………..boggle boggle?
