Down at the harbour !!

The day's work >>>>>

Today , at the office , I started a new piece ! And well , that hasn't happened in a while so I decided to take pictures throughout the session and post them all on this post ... A step by step , if you like ! No reason why ... Just felt like it !

First , however , you must know that if you're not from around here (The rainy island kingdom) , that this is a scene in the Copenhagen harbour !! All buildings pictured are official buildings and in the right order too !! So , with no further delay , now that that's cleared up , here's the step by step picture action of the day's tat-action super session !!

First the doodle ! 20 minutes (Red for me / Black for the customer)



Then the scratches !! 24 minutes (That's when some people , never admitting it , sometimes are a bit scared)



Then the lines ! About 3 hours (Usually people start to be more confident after they see a few of these lines)



And then , just a bit of black !! About half an hour (This is a cool part where everything turns to 3D)





Stay tuned for the final installments of this series of the Copenhagen harbour creature Vs John , sometime near the end of June !!

More doodles tomorrow !! Later !
