33) Tydraw Hill


To make this sketch I walked a few yards down the road towards Velindre from the position where I made the previous sketch, and took a photograph. I made a Youtube video on which I challenged myself to make a sketch based on the photograph in no more than 15 minutes. Bearing in mind the time constraint I set myself, and the fact that I don’t sketch particularly quickly I don’t think that this is actually a bad effort. Given more time, though, I would have either included more shading and detail OR I would have applied some water colour to it.
