Imaginary Landscape

 

The Idea

It started off with a sketch, a preliminary idea to map out before beginning the final drawing. 

In other words - An idea popped into my head, "I'm going to draw a kitchen." So I drew a kitchen. "Oooh, I like it." "No, not quite." I flip the page to start over, still with a kitchen in mind. "No, no, no, it's just not right." Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! I try again! "Nope!" Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase!

Then another idea comes to mind. I flip the page to start over, still with a kitchen in mind, but floating on the lake. "No, no, no, it's just not right." Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! I try again! "Nope!" Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase!

Then another idea comes to mind. I flip the page to start over, still with a kitchen in mind, but with steps going nowhere. "No, no, no, it's just not right." Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! I try again! "Nope!" Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! Erase! ""Oh no, I ripped the paper, too much erasing!"

"I think I'll stick with the kitchen on the lake."

I did some more sketching to get the right view on the bigger paper, which took a while. And below are some pictures I took as I progressed through with my art.

And there you have it, an imaginary landscape - right from my mind.
