This is part of a series of works that I am undertaking. The drawings are of cities in pencil and are essentially unplanned, the final form only becoming apparent as the drawing progresses.

This is great, Willis. Reminds me of M.C.Escher – my favorite.

I agree it looks great. Mattias, at first I was surprised you complimented – somehow I assumed (without checking) that it was done by you (I know it is different from your masterful stuff but first impression told me it was you – do not always trust first impressions).
Willis, how did you achieve the patine look of background paper? Did you wash it, is it old, or is it just effect of photography (flash etc…)?

It is an effect of the photography- when I scanned this onto the computer a lot of the lines didn’t show up at all due to being rather light and thin, so I bumped up the contrast a bit to get it looking a little more like the original. A side effect of this is that the paper gets, as you say, a patina.
Thanks for all the comments!
