First location when we met at the food centre after a cup of good coffee. The lorries and vans were constantly coming in and out of the carpark lots. Now you see it and now you don't so it was a challenge sketching the vehicles. The little red shrine was what Shyam called it "god's postbox" and there were many of them in different forms and shapes. I guess you need them there to protect the workers from mishaps and accidents in a industrial estate.

Second location, I was sitting next to a huge pile of rubbish sketching this. I was attracted to the forklift parked next to the bicycle and an uncle drove it away before I could finish it. So I added more curve lines on the road at the bottom left that was the original location for the wheels of the forklift. Colours added on the spot.

Third location, I found a forklift to sketch! So as four other sketchers. It was the same forklift that was parked at the second location. As I was about to colour the sketch, it started to drizzle so I added the colours later.

Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love that last sketch- you captured the grittiness and somehow made the orange forklift look like a work of art in an eyesore!- and you have an amazing sketchgroup, I'm envious!!
