IF: STORM

I have been working on a series of bridges recently and I just finished this one today.  Although the sky was clear and blue originally, the Illustration Friday topic: storm inspired me to imagine the dark clouds in the distance.

The drawing is 8.5 x 26in, ink and acrylic on toned paper.

    Are you an architect, Alicia?

      Hi Roberto, no I'm not. But my father taught drafting, did design a house and I along with other courses often teach an intro to perspective course. I think I have been channeling my father lately

      Thanks so much Kevyyn, The format came as the original intent for this drawing is a video project I am working on, the long narrow dimension allows for a vertical pan up the image.. as I worked I realized how much I enjoyed the format as well. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

    This is a really really cool drawing! Something about it makes me really nervous--I think it's the extreme vertical composition that somehow seems/feels dangerous. Fabulous details and perspective!

    I love the tension in this. The bridge is strong but the storm is brewing all around. I love the detail and emotion you have captured in this structure.

    Great perspective here. The bridge is very imposing...certainly able to weather the storm.
