You know, it's a shame for me to admit it, but I don't think that I've ever previously sketched - as opposed to doodled - Tower Bridge. I say that it's a shame for me to admit it, because I am a born Londoner, although it's more than 3 decades since I moved away. It's doubly so, because I love bridges, and Tower Bridge is one of the world's most iconic bridges.
Here's a line and wash sketch I made last weekend.
I deliberately left the interior of the restaurant as plain line drawings. It's an effect I saw another sketcher use recently, and I really liked the way it turned out.
I searched through some old files, but I've made very few sketches of London. Last summer, while waiting to play in my Brain of Mensa semi final around the corner, I sketched the Tate Britain: -
and maybe 18 months ago I sketched Maida Vale tube station - don't ask.
