interesting building at 4th & G

Saturday was Drawing Day 2010, so I used it as an excuse to do another drawing (even though every day I find some excuse to draw something). I have wanted to sketch this interesting looking building on the corner of 4th and G Streets in Davis for some time now. It’s right next to Little Prague. There are i think several busineses are located in this building, one being the Davis driving academy or something, another being the gingerbread real estate co, or maybe I just imagined that last one. I sat in the shade opposite (90 degree weather has finally returned to this part of the world; 90 and rising).

    I wonder about this unique little building a lot. The lower portion appears to be adobe so it could be pretty old, but it doesn’t show up in City’s list of “historic” buildings.

      cheers! Yes, i sometimes do a few basic compositional guidelines in pencil to work out perspective, but yes all in pen, though things don’t always go right, but i guess I just gotta keep practising
