Description

This is an image from my latest project at uni - we were each provided with a shop (I chose 'classical music recording shop', woo-hoo!) and then had to go and sketch it and study it in all aspects. So off I went to Dress Circle, my fave theatre shop (yes I realize it's cheating slightly, but hey, there's opera too ;)) They were brilliant in there and let me take photos and everything, as well as being incredibly friendly - cheers guys!

This image is the monochrome one; I wanted it to focus on the fantastic railings that are outside the shop. They're very intricate and beautiful, and in a sense I thought they resembled how classical music would look. The border represents the more theatrical aspects. :D

Done on manuscript paper with fineliner and ink.

excellent, excellent, excellent interplay of patterns, shading, and contours! I especially like the soft-blotchy texture on the curtains and the 'leaves', and the intricate shading of the vertical stripes at the bottom.

And I completely agree, that is how classical music would look!
