More Wells again.
Thanks for that, Anyway, here's some more. The drawings are all 3 x published size and they're for the two west towers. Sadly, for me at least, some faces of the towers are subtly different and so there is more drawing to do. I am very impatient to get the west front done. It is the most magnificent part of Wells Cathedral and I have practically fried my brain trying to get it right. I reckon the end of this week will see all the main elements in place. After that: the cloisters - and they're big - then buttresses, buttresses, buttresses and then when all that is done, I shall write the instructions and draw the diagrams.

More Wells again.
I have now drawn all of the cloisters and glued the model to its base. Before I do the buttresses and pinnacles, I need to get some watercolour painting done as I have some art club demos coming up.

Rupert, the insight into your design and modelling process is fascinating! The fact that you design by hand, with an iteration process that requires patience, skill and vision, is simply amazing.
Yes, there are many modellers out there who are skillful with software that is capable of turning a 3D object into something that can be printed on flat paper or card, and then re-assembled back into a 3D object. But to have the talent to undertake this using eye and hand is astonishing! The detail you capture using your, shall we say, 'traditional' methods is remarkable. It gives these wonderful models of ancient buildings an entirely appropriate old-fashioned patina. So, despite you saying that the large-sized drawings are necessary for your declining eyesight (hey, isn't the ageing process a real bummer? ), I think that even in the reduction back to print-production size, you have actually given the textures and details some grain that truly enhances the final product. More power to your very capable elbow, Sir! |
