Day thirty-seven of The 100 Day Project for 2021.

How many of you are old enough to remember when the credits of a film shot in widescreen (16:9) were broadcast on the old television aspect ratio (4:3)? When they'd resize the frame to allow the credits to mostly be visible on the screen?

I'm guessing there's a few of you.

So, let's imagine that's what I did with my sketch today.

Clearly, that chair isn't proportionately as wide as it is in the original image. But I was trying to keep the width of the image within the page's edges.

I actually worked from a square version of the source image. I shot the source photo as a 1:1 square image and shared it previously on Instagram in that format. But my iPhone 11 Pro Max saves the original image in the full-frame ratio. So when I realised my sketch was portrait format, I could at least have a matching format photograph to pair with it to share.

There's also a bit of curvature on the left-hand side of the sketch. This is due to the page in my art journal curving when laid open. I held the left side of the journal up as I photographed my sketch. But clearly not enough to compensate for it and make the page appear flat.

Today's sketch was drawn with a 4H pencil.

I decided, in advance, I was going to shadow out the motel room interiors. But I did overlook the door handles and keys hanging from them when I sketched. Oops!

I corrected the bolts on the upper verandah coverage, but I'd drawn them a bit too heavy. So you can still see where I originally placed them too low down.

The door numbers are clearly not to scale (with each other or the doors).

There are some other inaccuracies in there (don't count them!) And the bricks were not drawn for realism but with artistic license.

Today was a bit of a write-off again for almost everything, but I'm trying to get my sleeping patterns back on track this week.
