Steve Brandon Steve Brandon A crayon drawing I did based on a photo of the sidewalk of Paris's Avenue des Champs Elysees which I took on Bastille Day weekend in July 1997. It's my second attempt to do a serious crayon drawing as an adult, and it took a fair bit longer for me to do than my crayon drawing of London's Piccadilly Circus. It's crudely drawn, yet quite detailed. I didn't really attempt to draw faces on most of the people because the photo it's based on was taken at twilight, and I can't really make any faces out in that picture either. It's also a little more distorted than my other drawings, since I decided that I'd do the rough pencils completely freehand, without measuring and scaling any key lines the way I did for my other drawings. I felt that I had a vague Impressionistic vibe when I was drawing it. I'm satisfied with this picture, but, the next time I do a crayon drawing, I'm going to base it on a photo that's a little less "crowded", and I'll try and draw on a larger piece of card. 2006-06-17 No No ourmedia image kiyone@tokyo.com 2006-06-20 01:24:31 A_Crayon_Drawing_of_Avenue_des_ChampsElysees_Bastille_Day_weekend_July_1997._1
