It's that magical time of year again when Death makes a new and even more remarkable [Remarkable in the sense of, "Oh dear Gackt, what possesed someone to draw that?!"] piece of fine art from real media.

Now, here is the basic process of making an [in]epic architectural ponder from the master smudge material: charcoal.

Deciding on an image and getting the supplies in order. Also determining angles and vanishing points of the original image.

Putting gridwork on the paper and plotting all three vanishing points in perspective. Why yes, I did have to resort to using a scientific calculator for much of this. How else was I to find 3 and 31/106 of an inch on the y axis? [The metric system wouldn't have given me such heartache...]

Putting on basic layers with vine charcoal and white charcoal [later replaced with white compressed charcoal for better clarity].

Slap on details, and it's pretty much done!

That's amazing, absolutely amazing. I can't believe at your age you can have that much understanding and skill in drawing.

Send me an autograph for when you get to be a famous artist. :P

O_o YOU FREAKING DREW THAT!? I skipped to the end and I was like "She took a photo of something?" >____< That's freaking amazing. Might want to put a watermark on it or something. ;x

Yeah, most 99 year-olds just don't have what it takes. :rolleyes:

I would watermark, but my knowledge extends as far as drop shadows on cumbersome text. I have a tough time finding that kind of stuff for Elements. >_>
But I put it up on DA to have a definite date on it. Not sure if that will actually help at all...

Took about two months, I think. Most of it was step two.

*grovels at DT2's feet* I can't draw like that! I can't draw an eighth as good in my wildest dreams! I had to take a close look at it to see the pencil marks! I am honored to be in the presence of greatness! *head explodes in amazement.*
