(soft music)…- So now the sun is just coming up, and we've got…this whole different dynamic with the shadows coming…from the different side. So it would then give us this…different sense of how the light is hitting the space.…
This is so important to think about when you're sketching…in cities, which way the light's coming from,…where the shadows are going to be falling, and what time…of day you're going to be doing the sketching. The earlier…on, the longer the shadows, and the more dramatic feel you…can get into your drawings.…
Because of the stronger shadows, and the movement…of the sun in the morning, I wanted to block in the shadows…early on in this sketch. Usually, I would wait…til later in the sketch to put in the shadows,…but depending on how quick the light is changing, you…can often block in the shadows this way as well,…and it will still work well, just bear it in mind…really, depending on the lighting that the sketch…that you're drawing.…
The tower has got some nice light on it just catching…the front as well, and having this vertical works well…
