This is a drawing of <a href="http://www.aboutbritain.com/TrafalgarSquare.htm">Trafalgar Square</a> in Westminster, London, with the <a href="http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/">National Gallery</a> in the background, based on <a href="http://stevebrandon3280.fotopic.net/p15641088.html">this Kodak Advantix photo I took in July 2000</a>.
<br><br>
It's a drawing measuring approximately 65 cm by 22 cm that I drew on white card with coloured pencils, mostly Prismacolors. I had to scan this in 4 chunks; in the sky, you can see a slight colour discrepancy at the edges of each chunk.
<br><br>
I drew this one a bit more freehand than the way I drew the Piccadilly Circus drawing. I measured out the truck and I measured out where each section of the museum began and ended, but, the people I drew completely freehand, more or less, trying to get them to line up properly with the corresponding section of the museum behind them, but not quite getting it perfect. I can see the flaws, but I'm still about 95% satisfied with the drawing. Especially the way I drew the water in the fountain.
<br><br>
The statue is of King George IV, and the lion is one of the lions protecting <a href="http://www.great-britain.co.uk/towns/london/trafalga.htm">Lord Nelson's Column</a>.
<br><br>
I think the tower behind the National Gallery is part of the Notre Dame de France church near Leicester Square, but I'm not 100% sure.
<br><br>
One unintentional coincidence with the previous drawing I did is that both have the Coca-Cola logo in them, though this one's much smaller, on the ice cream truck, and you can really only make out the "Dynamic Ribbon", not so much the words. I also tried drawing the Reebok logo on one of the kids' backpacks, but it's not too distinct.
