City Studies

This is an excerpt from my ongoing sketchbook in which I explore my historic home city of York. Bottom left is a photograph of a row of buildings which I drew over in order to represent the smog filled industrial revolution of the past, or perhaps how the future? I tried to look at the more hidden aspects of York that are usually overlooked. For example I always remember my city for its flocks of geese. Using twig and ink I drew the goose over a scrap of newspaper: newspapers commonly found around the city and again a texture I feel represents my city well.
