Patriotic hydrant, 5/2020

We finished "Patriotic hydrant" last week on SIP-n-Sketch. The finishing touches were adding details of the valve stems, finalizing the form shading on the hydrant body, and outlining the subjects with pencil.

For Monday, we'll start a fresh new sketch based on the photo below of an overhead sign at Oakland Airport. We will discuss composition, base colors, and planning sketches from layout to final details. Hope to see y'all on Monday.
