More fiddling, to increase contrast and straighten edges of tall buildings. This has now taken over 2 hours!

You have  joined me my month-long trip to Australia, Singaporeandback toPerth. My aim is to tell a story, draw people moving or do quick sketches of people, and create exciting urban sketches.

    The first one had it Lin, it’s very exacting using oriental methods, but they are quick and fresh. I prefer the first of these three to the day before too, IMHO. Enjoying being on your journey with you.

      I totally agree with you Hilary, it’s my favourite as well. I often wonder whether I’ll overwork it or not by adding stuff, but it’s fantastic to be able to take photos in order to compare. And if I do overwork it, well it’s only in my sketchbook and I’ve had a learning curve.
