PENCIL SKETCHES

In these pencil sketches, I focused on the theme of ‘lavishness’, contrasting it with everyday life. In this first sketch, I added more detail to the people in casual clothing to showcase the theme of everyday life. I added some detail to the fancy restaurant, but not the full building and highlighted the lavishness of it with the butler at the entrance.

I shaded and added detail to the woman in elegant attire, whilst the regular, affordable restaurant was left blank, in order to emphasise her luxurious presence. You can capture the vibrant energy of a bustling street through her body language and facial expression of focusing on where she needs to go.

I also like how the curvature of the building creates a sleek and elegant presence and adds a sense of fluidity to it...
