046 lighthouse
Day forty-six of The 100 Day Project for 2021.
Managed to sneak this in before I caught up with Dad on Skype tonight.
He was ready to chat before I finished, and I knew he had to go out to visit Mum after we spoke and go to an appointment after that, so I kind of rushed the shading on the stripes.
Not to mention I obviously should have shaded them with the strokes going in the same direction. Very lazy of me!
I'm pretty happy with this effort otherwise, though.
There are imperfections but not as jarring as yesterday's attempt.
The platform at the top of the lighthouse is a bit wonky. Arguably, the whole lighthouse is a bit more upright than in the original, but I think it's a valiant effort.
The original sketch was done with a 4H pencil. The shading on the stripes and the darker shading in the windows with a 6B pencil using two different pressures. And the outline and such accentuated with an HB and a heavier 2B.
