Moving left to right, top to bottom, identifying words whited out, dark photo taken with phone at the end of a day of drawing as the light was getting low.

Still working top to bottom, left to right.

Almost finished, except what should be done about the lower sections of nothingness?

How about some lupine? Good idea!
Here it is scanned and photoshopped into how it looks if you see the drawing in real life.

“Fast or Good”? Not fast this time. This drawing took me over twice as long as a picture of this size normally takes. A combination of three factors really slowed me down:
- There were many many many photos to sort through and organize and study in order to make a cohesive and accurate drawing. This doesn’t take nearly as long when I am the photographer because I take the photos in a methodical fashion and am familiar with them.
- There were no photos that showed the cabin clear in its entirety.
- Many details were missing because there was a ton of stuff on the deck and in front, blocking the much of the cabin.
I relied on old photos, figured out guessed how things might look from a straight-on view, kept asking questions, and relied on 40+ years of experience drawing cabins.
The customer is happy, so I am too. We are assuming the recipient of the drawing will also be happy.
Now, back to Reimer’s.
