How To Capture a Bigger Scene - Part 2

How To Capture a Bigger Scene - Part 2

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! 

This is part 2 in the three-parts series about capturing a bigger scene.
Where do you start, how do you draw a scene that feels kind of overwhelming?

Today, we have the same view and angle, but a different approach. We'll be taking all kinds of decisions again during the process. 

This time, we are not looking at the foreground, but we start at the focal point of the scene: the drawing further up on the square. Start in the center of the subject, and then draw the shape next to it, then the shape next to that, working around that starting point.
At some point, your page will already feel kind of complete. If you would be interrupted, that would be fine, because you already have your story down on paper.
 Keep going and the drawing is growing slowly, line by line, shape by shape. Skipping around much less than in last week's drawing.
