The doctor at the hideously early hour of 7:30 am but there was a great view from the doctors tenth floor office of Downtown and Midtown Atlanta. We were near Northside Hospital.
SKETCH #1
I did a two page spread TWICE. this was the second start. It's so easy to get lost in all those buildings. I started on the left side drawing in a line across the horizon.
Then I added the trees in the foreground. And of course the color at the end.
TIP: You cannot mask ink. Mask pulls off the ink on the page. Oops!! Have you ever tried to do a sky wash around unmasked buildings. A P A I N!!!
Colors: cerulean, cobalt, new gamboge, Quin red, Quin sienna, burnt umber, chrome green, green apatite, aureolin yellow
I almost left it just ink but I thought the foreground was boring. I had wanted to add words but I decided to experiment on sketch # 1 w color and words first. Glad I did.

SKETCH #2 has an old fashioned postcard look to it. I was trying to use the colors I saw in the early am.
TIP: Start in the center and draw out. Not o. The left like I did on this one. It's bigger than u think!!
Which is why I discarded this one.
I couldn't draw the whole skyline.
