Edwardian Town House Drawing - drawn brick for brick

Edwardian town house pencil portrait drawing

A detailed pencil drawing of an Edwardian town house in the UK. Each brick was drawn individually; the trick is to make a slight impression in the paper first for the mortar joints with a very hard 2F pencil. This leaves a slight indentation in the drawing paper to allow the relief areas of the bricks to be more accurately drawn over the top with softer, darker pencils.
