Los Angeles Wall Mural - Part 8

The Los Angeles wall mural is almost completed. I think one more session will do it.

The wall mural is progressing nicely. I needed some additional help though from Google Maps and Google Earth. They provided slightly different views that are helping me work out some of the building details that were unclear in my original photograph. 

I am working about 20 - 30 minutes during lunch time every other day or so. After starting with Sharpie pens, I have gone back to using Montana acrylic markers because I have a little more confidence in the light fastness of acrylic paint.

After reviewing the initial prototype sketch with Rameen, we decided that it was too thick and heavy-handed. Part of this was due to my struggle to master the Montana acrylic markers. It was difficult to use them vertically. The second prototype (on the right) was done using Sharpie markers and an AD marker. This captured the light feeling and looseness of the original ink pen drawing. 

The bottom image shows the new prototype temporarily attached to the wall with push pins.

Today we projected the wireframe drawing onto the wall and I over-traced it with a Sharpie marker. I will fill in the remaining details using my original drawing as a guide, so as not to have to rely on the projected image anymore.
