Very neat sketch, Chad, you are a natural...
Thanks Arti... A color version coming soon...
Normaly I would hate this because of the subject matter (I have seen a million bad covered bridge pictures) but this is realy nice. It is achetecturaly interesting and somehow moody at the same time. Nice work!
Yes, the subject matter is a little cliche, but I grew up with the drawings of Eric Sloane... So when I came across this bridge on such a nice day, I had to stop and draw it.
One of your best Chad
