Manchester Town Hall is a Victorian Gothic masterpiece in the heart of Manchester. The building is very complicated and I would have had to spend a few hours to sketch all the details. My time was limited so I created an impression of the form in pen and particularly as the town hall is just an iconic building a quick sketch was possible.
This is my first pencil sketch so far in the series. Blustery day today so by working quickly and cross hatching I managed to achieve some movement in the sketch. I liked this barn that is now a house conversion on the hillside before you come into the small town of Holfirth famous for the filming loaction of the BBC long running series Last of the Summer Wine.
