I was asked to make a detail presentation on Indian Monuments. It was like writing some detail description about old buildings and also to draw any of those Indian Monuments. And I ended up sketching out two different well known monuments.
Gateway of India is a well known place situated in Mumbai. It was one of the oldest arch building built in the 20th Century. Once the pride of India, it was built to commemorate the landing of King George V and Queen Mary on their visit to India in 1911.
And I sketch out the building in my own style.
If you look at some of the images over internet, you will find it matching exsclty of same shape and size. I made sure to draw each of bricks blocks with pencil to just look like the original structure.
Once I completed the first image and liked the outcome, I tried to make another one. This time i chosen victoria memorial building situated in Kolkatta.
This one is of my own choice. Making sure, I do not miss out on any of the blocks and also on any of the line. Each of the bricks marks and line of the monement were made with precision.
Ultimately the final outcome is more satisfactory.
To draw these two sketches I made use of
- HB Black pencil
- Eraser
- White sheet
- Ruler.
Hope you like both the outcome of my effort. Both of these building have their own story to tell. Built around the British Raj, they are well architect and loads of history in place. I wish I could visit these places to learn their history fr closeby.
