Hmm, this is interesting. It's exactly the opposite from live cartoon illustration, and that's satisfying. There's some mathematics involved, and an engineers scale, and the use of a technical pen, and I think I might love this. We'll see. Apparently there's a ready market for portraits of homes. I'm very curious. ... This quick photo is of a ruined work. It got wet and smeared on my boat during a surprise rainstorm. But it's my first "home portrait," and everyone says it looks great. Hmm... Part of me thinks it looks as good as anything I see on the Internet, but, then again, I made a lot of mistakes. ... This could be an excellent addition to my freelance career. I REALLY like my Rapidograph technical pen. (This was my first time using one.)... This work took about 15 hours, but a lot of that can be attributed to the simple fact that I was learning to use the scale, and the pen, and the architectural techniques, et cetera. More to come!...?

This looks really, really, really cool! I think you should take a close-up photo of it.
Either way, it's really nice.
Houses, to me can get really frustrating with all of the straight lines & stuff. For people that do alot of drawings with buildings & layouts (for instance someone like, Pat).. he always used a lot of rulers & graphs to help him with the foreshortening & stuff.
Anyways, I look forward to seeing more stuff like that. Maybe you should hang it up on the inside of your new boat & title it: "Home Sweet Home".
Very nice, Tim!
