pain-stakingly drawn with pencil for my Layout and Design class.



This is a five-point-dual-warped perspective vertical pan which involved a 180 degree rotation of the camera.



Which is a pretentious way of saying that it's a fish eye lense drawing of downtown vancouver from 500 feet in the air



The story;



the assignment was to draw a warped perspective or 3 point perspective scene which the camera could pan vertically through. I like to make life difficult for myself, so I used this messed up type of perspective that confused my classmates whenever I tried to explain it without a thumbnail.

To get a good feeling for what Vancouver looks like from so high up, I needed to get onto the roof of a tall building downtown. I tried to sneak onto the top of a government building, but I ended up setting off an alarm and having to leg it. I didn't get caught though cuz I'm a ninja.



I ended up getting access to the deck of the pentouse suite of a ritzy hotel to get some reference shots. Every building in this drawing actually exists somewhere in Vancouver, so the archetecture is authentic.



Noteable structures; Science world, the docks by the bay, the downtownlibrary, a parlement building is in there somewhere, and the tall skyscraper on the horizon is the Vancouver Wall Centre.



This bugger took 45+ hours to complete
