Avishek Sen Gupta's Journal

My head...ooof!
I've never really drawn buildings - which is to say that I never paid any attention to them in my drawings. It was, at best, a placeholder. I lavished more attention on faces and characters.
I decided to draw the interior of the Chartres Cathedral tonight. Googled for the elevation plan of the cathedral nave and used the engineering drawing as a guide.
And now, my head *hurts*. Aaargh. My jaw hurts, I don't know why. It requires tons of patience than drawing a face like this from imagination. But maybe that's because I practise faces more. Anyway, here's the result. It's not very good, and I wasn't even aiming to be accurate, but I think I'll practise buildings a bit more. The results seem rewarding. Now, about that headache...
