This is a coloured pencil drawing I did over several weeks in June 2005 based on <a href="http://stevebrandon3280.fotopic.net/p15641070.html">this photograph of Piccadilly Circus in London</a> which I took in July 2000.
<br><br>
It's 99% finished, but there are a few things about it I want to fix. I just felt like I wanted to have something to show to the world before the month was over. (And I was getting a little sick of drawing it and wanted to take a break and start a new drawing for July.)
<br><br>
Even though I drew a lot of guidelines based on what I thought were precise measurements, a couple of lines seemed to have been slightly "off", and I had to fudge the perspective a little.
<br><br>
Also, the Coca-Cola logo especially is a pain in the butt to draw "freehand".
<br><br>
Still, I like the motion and depth in both the original photo and in my drawn version of it, and, for some reason, I'm particularly proud of the way I drew Shaftesbury Avenue winding into the background. And something about the way I drew the GAP store seems slightly "Disney background"-ish with the shading. That pleased me.

I apologize for the way I scanned it; the picture is so big that I had to scan it in three sections, and they don't quite match up perfectly, especially in the sky.
