A History of Art part 15

It took quite a while, but today I finished up that city scene from Masereel. Very tedious work, copying all those figures, but I think it was worth it. This is by far the densest drawing on the whole block, but color in the other areas should balance that out. It's a lot of detail, but it's the kind of stuff that cuts fast. Next to it on the left I continued the top layer, beginning to put in a casino. The hundreds of hours spent in Atlantic City casinos as part of one of my jobs asserted itself in a several prints over the years with gambling related imagery, so it's appropriate to have it in my tower. This is still very rough- the slot machines on the right are pretty much what I'm expecting, the others need a lot of work, and I have to make some decisions regarding the backgrounds. I need to capture the intensity of the casino experience.
