Nehemiah's wall 2

Here is another sketch of Nehemiah's reconstruction of Jerusalem. This time there is a greatly exaggerated mountain in the background. In retrospect it shouldn't have been made as high as the gate tower.

House Row

Here is a remake of a piece I did a year ago. I can't post the original since it won't fit in the scanner but suffice it to say, this one is much prettier. I have also posted the value pattern for it.

The issues I have with this one is the uniform power poles and the rough front of the middle house.

Nehemiah's wall

Here are a couple of hatching pieces I did today concerning Nehemiah's wall. The bottom picture was the prototype. I figured that ancient Jews didn't have access to massive two by fours while building the wall, so I made the second sketch. The only issues I have with that one is that one of the supports is bending unsafely, and that it's only taking two people to hoist a multi-ton brick.

Wheat Field

This silhouette of wheat was done on a wash of Quinacridone Alizarin Crimson and Indian Yellow.
