I've really enjoyed your course, Carlo! I'm a fellow architect + illustrator, but I've always kept the two jobs very separate. This course has been a real eye-opener on how to have fun fusing the two careers.

My final image is of a 17th Century pub in Bristol called the Llandoger Trow. Rumoured to be haunted(?) and to have been frequented by pirates (including Blackbeard himself!), there were plenty of opportunities to express a little history in the image. For example, the tree casts a shadow across the courtyard of a pirate ship mast.

I created a far too neat drawing of the pub so once it was scanned in I played with the perspective and used this as a base

Digging into the history of the pub I found old photos that showed two more gables to the left, that were destroyed during the war. Using the photos as a guide I've incorporated them into the drawing but in a more ethereal way.

The final significant feature of the drawing is the seagulls. Their screeching dominated my time sketching the building so they simply had to have a starring role in the image.

Once again, you've created a super course Carlo! Any advice for improvement to my image would be massively appreciated.

Thanks,
Jo
