I started this project by looking through some old photos of mine on Lightroom, which is where I found my source image.

I decided to just focus on one panel of the panorama, which is the part with two people on stage and another man looking on. I chose this image because I like the story behind it, the man on the right is going to play on stage next and he’s watching his son’s band open for his.

I was really worried about this project, because my basic linear perspective knowledge is very rusty, but Hollis helped me a lot with getting my angles right. I was also worried that this image was too ambitious because I’d have to draw the human figures and I haven’t studied anatomy at all and have no idea how to draw people properly. My solution to this was to backlight my drawing and have the figures be silhouettes.

After translating what was in my sketchbook, I got a little stuck and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it. Then I realized I forgot the ceiling.

Lastly, I added the ceiling, fixed some scaling issues and added final details. Overall, I’m happy with it; I want to continue to polish it up but I’m afraid I won’t have time with the way my life has been lately:(
