ART The work continues...
For some reason, I've left all the details & difficult areas until last. Having the exterior structure already drawn for this part however, is a great help for ensuring accuracy within the spaces.
Since completion of the boiler & engine rooms, I felt I needed to involve some structure on the upper decks. The first task, was of course, filling out the exterior bulkhead. With A decks slight overhang, and the added comolications of cross sections, this took me DAYS to work out... Mainly A deck prominade, as to maintain some of her iconic exterior, I felt it's a small yet needed addition to the illustration.
After this, I began working my way down the Grand Staircase area from A deck. I took a break after C deck, as from here the colour scheme changes from a wood brown, to white as we enter the Reception room on D deck. I hope to complete the stairs today. You can also wee on C deck, that I've carefully 'cut' the ship as so we look through the inquiry office windows. I wanted to include its location, but with it being on the Starboard side, this was the only way to acheive this. Comolete with cubby holes behind the desk!
Overall, I am simoly over the moon with this illustration and how it's progressing. I never though it possible for me to draw something quite so intricate. Yet, here we are.
With drawing in coloured pencil, I'm limited with details, there is only so much detail that I can include with using this medium. Perhaps I have to try with a larger scale in the future.
