that drawing is also pretty small at 11x17 inch. I usually draw at 24x36 inch for large commercial properties like this.
Cary i think the folks thought you only wanted a simple sketch instead of an ink or color ready rendering.

Hell no! I want to see something totally awesome! lol.

Right, well, if it's not finished, guys, keep those crits in mind while you're finishing up.

I realize it would be very helpful if the tutorial was actually finished... it's going to take a couple days for me to complete. Don't let me take the wind out of your sails. Stick with me and we'll get everyone's work up to snuff.

I've done thousands of this type and simple warehouses and houses. Thousands. I bet I could draw in my sleep. Last sample before i post up the sample of Plot perspective. This was drawn on a sheet of vellum 40 inches wide done with a series of Rapidographs and Artpens by Rotring. This is actually a one point perspective to some degree.
I'll post the tutorial as a link so it doesn't distract from the lessons. i'll be making these two large images links later today for the same reason.

The quality of the scans is poor as they are scanned from Photostats. Ahhh the days before scanners and computers.

Oh yeah. This is just a sketch. Not even really a complete sketch, I wanted to work it some more -add additional cars, some details on the buildings in the background, misc odds and ends.

I misunderstood and thought we were supposed to do a sketch and then we'd be finishing it as a second step. Oops.

The first thing I noticed is the complete lack of life in this drawing. It's cold, man... so cold. lol.
Yeah. That's the cadd program. Very mechanical. And there's NO variation in lineweight in thedrawing at all (there can be if I'd wanted to mess with it, of course, but I didn't bother as I would be tracing it for the final).

Thanks for the pointers. I'll try and get more of a finished version put together for later.

So if I post now, I've got till next friday to post?

Yeah, man. Right now, let's just keep it casual while the enthusiasm is high. I don't really have any idea how to lead something like this, so I'm learning too. After I get a system down, I'll impose those heavy deadlines.

I think we'll also need a "Justice41 drawing tips" section!!!

This whole thing is trully amazing! From Cary's willingness to lead the pack to everyone joining and participating and contributing...I don't think I've ever seen such commitment on a on-line forum! Congrats to everyone!

No, man, it's a really good first step. If you develop it more, it'll be great! I'm going to really try to push you guys with every ounce of critism I can muster because that's what you're going to face when dealing with editors.

Think of editors as a hot girl; they have a million different applicants to choose from... you gotta stand apart from everyone else.

I second this. The guy knows more than I do and you'd be lucky to get a tutorial from the likes of him! He embodies true professionalism (sorry, dude! You're implicated now*insert evil laugh here* which I learned from you, btw)!

Seriously, aim for Justice's kind of quality in your own work. Hold yourself to high standards!

Excellent renderings Justice!!
Did you build these over CAD based structures
or its all handmade from scratch?

Anyways, excellent work.
Love the level of detail and finishing.
