A Crayon Drawing of Avenue des Champs-Elysees, Bastille Day weekend, July 1997.

A crayon drawing I did based on a photo of the sidewalk of Paris's Avenue des Champs Elysees which I took on Bastille Day weekend in July 1997.

It's my second attempt to do a serious crayon drawing as an adult, and it took a fair bit longer for me to do than my crayon drawing of London's Piccadilly Circus.

It's crudely drawn, yet quite detailed. I didn't really attempt to draw faces on most of the people because the photo it's based on was taken at twilight, and I can't really make any faces out in that picture either.

It's also a little more distorted than my other drawings, since I decided that I'd do the rough pencils completely freehand, without measuring and scaling any key lines the way I did for my other drawings.

I felt that I had a vague Impressionistic vibe when I was drawing it.

I'm satisfied with this picture, but, the next time I do a crayon drawing, I'm going to base it on a photo that's a little less "crowded", and I'll try and draw on a larger piece of card.
