Hello you cheeky fish! A big thanks to patrons old and new for your support this fine October.For this month's Pen Pal drawings I decided to do some architecture studies around Melbourne! And by "around Melbourne" I mean around G©©g™ Street View because we're still in the world's longest lockdown- which might be why the buildings all look so sleepy!It was nice brushing up on my building skills, and finding the little details that make Melbourne look the way it does (and which details I like the most). Some liberties were taken to get all the bits I like to fit into portrait dimensions, but I was more interested in learning the ingredients of these buildings so later on I can invent new ones that feel the same, rather than perfectly capturing specific landmarks.These drawings will be posted to Pen Pal patrons in the next day or two!edit: someone reported an issue with the thumbnails not being clickable. If anyone else is having this problem and can't see the drawings properly, I've now attached a zip file with all the pictures so you can grab the files and look at them that way instead!

The pen pal drawing I received from these is one of my favorites as well. I really tended to enjoy the works of J.M.W Turner, Hubert Robert, and Sorolla and to me there's always a longing for the serene beauty capture in their paintings of ruins and gardens and sails. This minor addition of anthropomorphic feature of eyes to the building adds a sentiment that reminds me of the previously mentioned artists whose works I tended to gravitate toward

makes me homesick for my own city :*) so sweet and sleepy

Thomas Schneider

LOL! I did not know that it was that easy to add personality to a building by adding eyes!

For some reason I cant click to view these drawings.. 🥺 other patreon posts still let me click so that's pretty strange.. the thumbnails look good tho! 😭

The right drawing on page 6; Is that a baby smoking a cigarette? And followup question; Is that a common detail in the streets of Melbourne? :^)

felixcolgrave

oh no! I'm really sorry, I've got no idea what could be causing that! I've now edited the post and attached a zip file with all the pictures. Less convenient I know, but hopefully that link works and you should be able to get to the pictures now!

Megara

Wow thank you for adding the zip file that was so thoughtful 🥲 💖

I love them all, but my faves address No. 6 - me rn trying to go back to sleep but unable to, and No. 7 - looks like an opera singer, thank you :)

It would be cool to see a screenshot of the actual Street View images these were based on. I think houses might seem sleepy for the same reason mountains seem sleepy. They don't move. Like they're fast asleep. Plants and animals move, grow and change on time scales we can perceive so they seem more 'awake' because they are animated. Things that change on time scales we can't perceive seem inanimate to us, but it's really just how we perceive time.

I'm used to all my favourite artists (YouTube, etc.) being everywhere else in the world, so every time I get reminded you're in Melbourne, the city I grew up in, it spins me out. Makes everything of yours seem even more trippy to me somehow.

I'm going to park in the patrons only parking spot. Thanks for all the cool work!

Love it! Very much vibing with the idea of sitting around all day and still being exhausted...

These are all super cool, makes me want to visit Melbourne

Anthony Baradat

Wow, these are maybe my favorite pen pal drawings yet. I wish I could snag one of the special coin friend spots but its full :(
