From Flickr’s explore page, this black and white, full-of-shadows photo jumped out at me:<\/p>\n

\"Shibuya\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I drew the two silhouetted people on the left with the umbrellas first, and the lady in the foreground afterwards – and then realised that I had drawn the foreground figure much larger in proportion to the umbrella carrying people than she is in the photo.<\/p>\n

That mistake apart, I’m a little pleased with myself for mostly getting her posture right with very few lines and not driving myself furious trying to reproduce exact angles or curves.<\/p>\n

The one thing that did throw me off in this photo was getting the angles and proportions of the buildings right.
