Details

I haven't posted in a while, because progress has been slow on this one. There are so many details, and much like anatomy, each line depends on the others to define forms. Though the original drawing was better than many I've done, the angles of some of the lines needed adjusting at the later stages. Partly this was a result of my trying to do lens correction, and partly because I didn't notice sooner. The angle of the "muntins," which apparently is the name of the wooden slats between the window panes, was hard to get right. Also the lines of the stoop.

Overall, I'm happy with how it's coming out. I love the effect of the light on the architectural woodwork, and some of the reflections in the windows. There are several areas that still need work, including the light fixtures, the yellow chair to the left, and the stoop. That damn stoop. Then it's on to the next one!
