THE DRAWING PROCESS It takes the artist, Michael A. Rivers, Sr., an average of 300 to 600 hours within the course of 4 to 6 months to complete each pencil rendering of various schools. He draws from about 100 different photographs, from different angles in order to come up with one completed product. This method allows the artist to capture specific perspectives of a drawing so that it appears that it is appropriately positioned on the ground. Many of the photos used to complete each rendering is a photo shot of one particular area of the building. This is accomplished on several different areas of the building. He uses various pencils to complete each rendering; each type of pencil offering a particular texture in the drawing. Mr. Rivers normally uses Crescent Illustration Board, with a smooth surface, for each pencil rendering, that makes for a nearly painted look in pencil. $50.00 shipping cost.
