Advanced Sketching Course: Landscape

As promised in the last post, here lie vast and distant horizons, straight from the sandy fields of Egypt. The next section of my sketching course involved me converting a photo to a sketch. I thought I hadn't heard it correctly it the first time; a photo to a sketch? That would require a level of hyperrealism only professionals could achieve. But I thought to myself, humans will never be as accurate as nature. So why try and fight it? Try your best to recreate the scene, and whatever it turns out to be is what it is. Art has no meaning; it can be left open to the observer to lend meaning, given the artist did not have any intent behind the piece. Moving on, while the piece is not quite finished yet, I have got a fair bit of it done.

One of the pyramids appears to be much brighter than the rest, since my phone cast a shadow when I was taking a picture. Either way, I hope to finish this piece very soon and post another update soon.
