An artist that only uses the initials C G to identify their name drew all of the architecture you see on this page.
The tan colour of the notepad pages does wonders to create warmth in these buildings. It tints the background of every detail and area on the page.
Brick and stone feature in all of the depictions you see in this post. Most of the constructions are very old, with one of them, the Old Thomas Truesdale's Almshouses in Stamford, dated as 1832.
There is so much I like and so much that impresses me. I start with the choice of buildings. They are the kind that are just begging to be depicted. They look amazing if you don't do a particularly good job with them. If you achieve what C G does, then you can see the gorgeous results on this page.
Then there is the detailing: Have a look at drawing 4 and of that tiny stonework. Apart from the number that take part in this drawing, look at how the spacing and shading are done to stop them from looking like a flat congregation of geometric shapes. The touch is as subtle as it is effective.
Finally, I really like the depth of the first picture. It has so many layers between the foreground and the background. It ends with a large structure that looks like a building... No, a ship?
All the other drawings on this page have had a lot of work poured into them and hide, in plain sight, many little gems that are just waiting to be discovered.
Enjoy CG's work.
